Full Mouth Reconstruction

Full mouth reconstruction is an integration of multiple dental procedures with the intention to completely restore the smiles in any condition. A complete mouth reconstruction treatment combines dental restorations such as implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, etc. It addresses multiple issues at a time in order to restore dental health, function, and appearance with results that look natural.

Difference between smile makeover and full mouth reconstruction?

Smile makeover and full mouth reconstruction can be two very different approaches to dental treatment that focus on enhancing a patient’s smile and dental function:

Smile makeovers are purely elective procedures that focus on improving the aesthetics of teeth that are healthy and function normally. For example, a teeth whitening session, veneers or dental bonding to correct minor issues with the tooth structure or shape.

Full mouth reconstruction is a series of medically necessary restorative treatments that address the issues of severely damaged or compromised teeth. Reconstruction may improve the smile, but it first and foremost focuses on restoring the dental function of the patient such as being able to chew and speak comfortably and without pain. This is where the structural integrity and bite alignment are taken into account first before moving on to dental aesthetics.
