Full-Mouth Reconstruction commonly refers to the restoration or rebuilding of all one's teeth in the upper and lower jaw. Full-mouth reconstruction does not only apply with one who is completely edentulous (missing all teeth) and in need of full dentures. Full-mouth reconstruction will allow the dentist to repair multiple problems in the mouth at one time. Patients do not need to worry since we will sit down with each patient and go over all of the details with that specific patient's procedure. With full-mouth reconstruction, each patient will need a treatment that is slightly different than another. By customizing the treatment to each individual, we can help ensure that the patient is completely satisfied with the result. There are multiple reasons as to why a patient may need full-mouth reconstruction, including trauma, infection and long-term wear. Learn more by calling our office at 281-376-4533.
In many cases, the patient may have experienced a traumatic accident and be in need of repairing a chipped tooth, while also simultaneously replacing another tooth that fell out. Since accidents can happen at any time, it is difficult to prepare for the possibility of damaging more than one tooth. Through full-mouth reconstruction, the dentist will be able to repair the mouth, while also repairing the appearance and functionality of a patient's teeth. If a patient experiences an accident that results in damage to the teeth, seeking an emergency dentist as soon as possible is a necessity. If a patient goes to a normal emergency room after damaging a tooth, the nurse will only be able to triage the wounds but not treat the condition. At Comfort Dental Excellence we will find the best treatment for each individual and recommend options that help to repair the damage. Patients assume that the only option will be one that merely imitates the appearance of a natural tooth and that the patient will have to practice caution when eating for the rest of his or her life. In reality, we can provide possible treatments such as dental implants, dental bonding, dental crowns, dental veneers, dental bridges and more to help repair the appearance and functionality of the tooth. After a full-mouth reconstruction our patients will be able to smile confidently and eat what they like since our repairs are long-lasting and sturdy. There is no need for a patient to live with a cracked or damaged set of teeth.
In other cases, a patient may lose multiple teeth to dental caries (tooth decay), gum disease or other infections. Upon infection, the dentist will do everything in his or her power to prevent the spreading. However, some patients may not visit the dentist at least once every six months and allow the infection to spread. If the infection spreads to the tooth, then there is a possibility that an extraction will be necessary. When a patient has an infection, a root canal is one option to treat the tooth. A root canal allows the dentist to remove the infected pulp and clean the area. Following a root canal, we will plug up the hole with a dental filling. In the cases where the tooth is removed due to infection, we may recommend a dental implant. The dental implant is a titanium post that bonds with the jaw bone through osseointegration. We will also place a dental crown on top of the implant to create a sturdy and natural-looking tooth. If the infection has spread to multiple teeth we will recommend the best option for treating the infection and repairing one's teeth.
For some individuals, consistent dental care may not be a regular part of daily life, which can lead to accelerated wear and damage to the teeth. Factors such as acidic foods and drinks, citrus fruits, acid reflux, teeth grinding and other habits can contribute to the faster deterioration of oral health and potential tooth loss. At our practice, we recommend monitoring oral health with routine check-ups at least every six months to help patients maintain strong, healthy teeth. For those experiencing ongoing issues or significant wear, full-mouth reconstruction may be an effective solution to restore function, address multiple concerns and improve overall dental health.

Some patients may have concerns over the price of full-mouth reconstructions and avoid the necessary treatment. The longer one goes without the necessary treatment, the greater the pain and risk. For instance, an adult who loses a tooth and does not seek treatment will allow the jaw to weaken over time. If the jaw weakens enough, then there will not be a way to install a dental implant in the gap. In other cases, a gap can become infected just as a tooth can; especially if the individual does not keep it clean. The full-mouth reconstruction process will take multiple appointments to customize the restoration and then install it. However, it will be worth it since the restoration will give back complete functionality of the teeth. We will be careful and precise during the installation process, making sure that each restoration is complete to perfection.
