Full mouth restorations refer to the renovation or replacement of all the teeth in a patient's mouth. They work by combining aesthetics with restorative dentistry to improve oral health, function, and appearance. At times, untreated oral conditions and injury can impair teeth and smiles beyond repair. Fortunately, due to advances in dental technology, several full mouth restorations are available that can reinstate your mouth functions and smile.Â
If you have any of the below dental conditions, a full-mouth restoration may be necessary:Â
Dental Exam
The preliminary step is a comprehensive exam of your oral cavity. We will look for cracks, chips, cavities, missing teeth, enamel wear, and more. Based on this, we may recommend dental procedures such as crowns, dental bridges, veneers, or other restorative treatments.
Gum Disease
An accurate assessment of your mouth is done to spot bacterial infections or gum disease. In addition, we will look for any deep pockets on the gum line and recommend dental cleanings to address them.
Correct Your Bite
There shouldn't be discomfort or pain when you bite down on food or just normally. Alignment changes in your bite need to be corrected first before proceeding with other restorative treatments. We may recommend orthodontic solutions like braces or oral appliances like a mouthguard to rectify the alignment issues.Â
Aesthetics Concerns
As part of full mouth restorations, we will evaluate your smile appearance by looking at the teeth and jawbone structures. Abnormalities like the length of your teeth, front and side view of your face, as well as any jawbone loss that might be causing sagging or drooping, will be measured. Treatments like dental implants, veneers can conceal such issues.
