Full Mouth Reconstruction
Hillsboro, OR
 Sometimes you need more than just a dental implant, implant supported denture or bone grafting. That is where a full mouth reconstruction comes in. Beaverton Oral Surgeons can upgrade your entire smile with the help of our expert dental surgeons.
The Basics
Full mouth reconstruction is exactly what it sounds like - rather than just touching up one tooth or fixing some crowded teeth, we give your entire mouth, from your teeth to your gums, a health upgrade. This means combining a number of treatments that work together synergistically to improve your smile. We consider everything from simple bonding treatments to fix chipped teeth, to advanced oral surgery to correct jaw defects. We go over every potential treatment with you, working together closely to keep you fully informed.
It is important to note that with a full mouth reconstruction the focus is on improving your health. While in practice this usually means that the appearance of your smile is improved too, as we extract or clean up decayed and damaged teeth, our priority during a reconstruction is always the health of your mouth. If you are looking to give the aesthetics of your smile a dramatic boost you should consider a smile makeover instead.
How a Full Mouth Reconstruction Can Benefit You
Most patients do not need something as drastic and comprehensive as a full mouth reconstruction. For those patients who do, though, the benefits of receiving a full reconstruction are enormous. Most of our patients who qualify for reconstruction have been dealing with discomfort, extensive tooth decay, advanced gum disease, missing teeth, and other conditions for years. These conditions can have serious impacts on their ability to live their lives normally, restricting what they can eat, creating speech impediments, and undermining their confidence in their smiles. You may qualify for a full mouth reconstruction if you have many diseased or damaged teeth, if you are missing several teeth, if you are affected by advanced gum disease or other decay, or if you suffer from a number of different congenital disorders.
FAQs
What is a full mouth reconstruction?
A full mouth reconstruction involves a comprehensive set of dental procedures designed to restore the health, function, and appearance of your teeth, gums, and jaw. It combines treatments such as dental implants, bone grafts, and periodontal therapy to address extensive dental damage or decay.
Who is a good candidate for a full mouth reconstruction?
Candidates for a full mouth reconstruction often have extensive tooth decay, advanced gum disease, missing teeth, or congenital dental issues. It is ideal for individuals experiencing discomfort, difficulty eating, speaking issues, or a lack of confidence due to dental health problems.
How does a full mouth reconstruction differ from a smile makeover?
While both procedures improve the appearance of your smile, a full mouth reconstruction focuses primarily on restoring the health and functionality of your teeth and gums. A smile makeover is primarily cosmetic, targeting aesthetic concerns such as whitening or minor alignment issues.
How long does a full mouth reconstruction take?
The timeline for a full mouth reconstruction varies based on the complexity of your case. Some procedures, like dental implants or bone grafts, may require several months for proper healing, while others, like dental bonding or crowns, can be completed in a single visit. Your dentist will create a personalized treatment plan to estimate the total duration.
What treatments are typically included in a full mouth reconstruction?
A full mouth reconstruction may include treatments like dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, periodontal therapy, bone grafting, and orthodontic corrections. The exact combination depends on your specific needs and oral health conditions.
What are the benefits of a full mouth reconstruction?
A full mouth reconstruction improves oral health, restores the ability to eat and speak comfortably, enhances the appearance of your smile, and boosts self-confidence. It can also prevent future dental issues by addressing underlying problems comprehensively.
What to Expect During a Full Mouth Reconstruction
It is hard to tell you exactly what you should expect during a full mouth reconstruction since every reconstruction is different. We design each one to be your personalized blueprint for a healthier smile, so no two reconstructions are exactly the same. You can expect that the process will not be a fast one. While some treatments might be fast, others can take much longer. Bone grafts and dental implants, for example, can require months to properly heal and integrate with your body.
