When you have multiple dental issues, you will need multiple dental procedures in order to fix it. In fact, there is a term for this – a full mouth reconstruction. As the name suggests, full mouth reconstruction is a process where the patient’s mouth undergoes a series of treatment to restore the mouth’s function and structure.
Because it is a combination of restorative, neuromuscular and cosmetic procedures, a full mouth reconstruction’s goal is to not only restore and improve the look of the patient’s teeth, but its structure and overall function.
Most of the time, a full mouth restoration is recommended for those who have a lot of missing teeth, and those who have several discolored, worn out, chipped and broken teeth. It may also be necessary for those who’ve been experiencing chronic pain, or a clicking or popping sound in their jaws, or suffering from frequent headaches and back pain may also benefit from a full mouth reconstruction.
To know the scope of the full mouth reconstruction, it is best to have your dentist evaluate the overall status of your oral health to get a better idea on what type of treatments are necessary or available. After this, your dentist will be able to discuss with you the different types of treatment available, depending on what goals you have in mind. Be honest and don’t forget to ask about the overall costs of the procedure, as well as what your dental insurance covers. Ask for a timeframe for the whole process and any other questions you may have in order to be confident in your future treatments.
