Many people don’t realize they are candidates for full mouth rejuvenation, even if they have struggled with dental issues for years. This blog outlines essential signs that this approach could benefit you.
What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is a customized treatment that restores your teeth’s function, health, and appearance. It combines multiple procedures, such as:
The goal is to rebuild your smile so you can eat, speak, and feel comfortable with your teeth again.
Signs You May Need Full Mouth Reconstruction
Many people are good candidates for full mouth rejuvenation. Here are some of the most common conditions this procedure can address.
Severe Tooth Damage or Decay
If multiple teeth are cracked, worn down, or extensively decayed, simple fillings or crowns may not be enough. Full mouth reconstruction provides long-term solutions.
Multiple Missing Teeth
Losing several teeth can make chewing properly difficult and cause further jawbone deterioration. Full mouth reconstruction often includes restorations like dental implants or bridges.
Chronic Jaw Pain
If you experience frequent jaw pain, clicking, or headaches, your bite alignment may be the problem. A misaligned bite can significantly stress the jaw joints. Full mouth rejuvenation can correct this issue and prevent it from getting worse.
Frequent Dental Work That Doesn’t Last
It may be time for a more comprehensive solution if you constantly need repairs on fillings, crowns, or bridges. Full mouth reconstruction provides durable, lasting restorations customized to your needs.
Difficulty Chewing or Speaking
Has eating certain foods become challenging? Has your speech been affected by missing or damaged teeth? A full-mouth approach can improve function and comfort.
Advanced Gum Disease and Receding Gums
Untreated gum disease can result in lost teeth, infections, and bone damage. Addressing periodontal issues is an essential part of full mouth rejuvenation.
