Full Mouth Reconstruction

Full Mouth Reconstruction refers to a series of dental procedures that rebuild or replace most or all of your teeth. The goal is to significantly improve your chewing power, overall oral health, and smile appearance.

Reasons You May Need Full Mouth Reconstruction

Below are the most common reasons why people need several dental procedures performed within a short timeframe.

Congenital oral defects

You can be born with a condition that affects the normal development of your teeth. You may not lose all your baby teeth, have weak teeth, or be especially prone to decay and infection. Whether or not you have ever had a congenital oral defect formally diagnosed, we encourage you to schedule an exam at Cohasset Dental if you suspect this could be the problem.

Loss of several natural teeth

Trauma to the mouth, such as that sustained in an accident or assault, or dental disease can cause you to lose several teeth simultaneously. When this happens, replacing the missing natural teeth as soon as possible is critical to maintaining good oral health in the future.

Severe tooth decay, gum disease, or both

Either of these conditions can cause teeth to loosen in their sockets. The original teeth may require extraction and replacement by dental implants, dentures, or a dental bridge. They could also require dental crowns or have the decay removed and treated with inlays or onlays rather than standard filling material.

Severely worn teeth

Grinding the teeth unconsciously and acid erosion caused by diet or acid reflux can weaken and wear out teeth. The solution is typically the same as treating teeth affected by severe tooth decay or gum disease.

What to Expect with Full Mouth Restoration

A consultation with one of our dentists is necessary to determine your specific oral health concerns and the best ways to treat them. Our dentist will take several X-rays of your gums and create impressions of your teeth with dental putty. You and your dentist will work together to decide which procedures to pursue and then create a treatment calendar.
