A DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO FULL MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION
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 to one who is completely edentulous (missing all teeth) and in need of complete dentures. Full mouth reconstruction will allow the dentist to repair multiple problems in the mouth at once.
Patients do not need to worry since we will sit down with each patient and go over all of the details of 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 delighted with the result. There are multiple reasons as to why a patient may need full mouth reconstruction, including trauma, infection, and long-term wear. To learn more, schedule an appointment by calling (305) 306-1550
Harmonizing Your Oral Health
If one part of our mouth is not working well, this malfunction could very well lead to health problems elsewhere. As mentioned above, a malocclusion, or a misalignment of the jaw, can result in reduced bite strength and tooth decay, and these in turn could lead to other complications. Tooth decay, if left untreated, can even cause tooth loss by wearing down the various tissues that comprise human teeth and by eventually attacking the center of the tooth.
Similarly, if you are suffering from dental caries, there is a high likelihood that you are also experiencing a periodontal infection, which can cause gum and bone tissue loss. If caught early, these oral diseases can be treated; however, it’s important to seek a dentist’s expertise before they spread and cause significant damage to your oral anatomy.
Tooth loss and extensive tooth damage can also lead to deterioration in your dental health. Teeth that are atypically angled or fractured may have some hard-to-reach surfaces and therefore, may receive less brushing and flossing time, which increases the risk of an oral infection.
Furthermore, if your upper and lower arches are not fitting well together and your teeth are already significantly damaged, the risk of further fracturing and straining is higher than it would be otherwise.
An unhealthy mouth can also affect your emotional well-being. In our modern society, our smile is one of the most important components of our appearance, and missing, damaged, or infected teeth can hurt our self-confidence and cause a loss of self-esteem. Being unhappy with your teeth can change how you interact with others, and how other people interact with you and could result in depression and deep emotional distress. Fortunately, a full-mouth reconstruction at Billion Dollar Smile can help brighten up your day by revitalizing your smile.
