Take a moment to think about how nice it would be to have a perfect smile and a face that does not make you feel self-conscious. Full mouth reconstruction can make it happen. This process often includes multiple procedures ranging from dental implants to dental crowns, dental bridges, inlays, onlays etc. The purpose is to enhance your smile, improve your appearance and help your mouth function as it should. At this point, you are likely wondering whether you are a candidate for a full mouth reconstruction.
Here is a look at who is considered the optimal candidate for full mouth reconstruction. If you qualify based on an initial review, reach out to us for more information including a more thorough analysis.
Who Should Have Full Mouth Reconstruction Performed?
Full mouth reconstruction is a treatment plan that makes use of numerous restorative dental treatments. These treatments are combined and even customized to suit each unique patient.
A full mouth reconstruction is not for everyone. Some patients require it, others desire it to look better and some who will not benefit from it at all. Those who have tooth loss from trauma are ideal candidates for this form of treatment.
In particular, those with injured teeth, chipped teeth and fractured teeth will find full mouth reconstruction to be quite helpful. Those who have considerable tooth decay are also ideal candidates. The dentist will first try to save the original teeth. However, inlays, onlays, crowns and other forms of protection might be necessary to combat against decay.
If You Have Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD), a Full Mouth Reconstruction Might be the Answer
This disorder affects the jaw as well as the muscles in control of the jaw. Similar disorders can alter a patient's bite and teeth. If a patient has the symptoms of this disorder, ranging from a poor bite to headaches, ongoing issues with the jaw, then he or she may qualify for a full mouth reconstruction.
Additional Qualifications
A full mouth reconstruction is an excellent procedure for patients who have missing teeth, crack a tooth, break a tooth, have swollen gums or gum disease. The patient needs to provide us with a full health history, list of current medications and other pertinent medical information. With all of this information, we will then begin to develop a treatment plan for the patient's needs.
Who Does not Qualify as a Candidate?
An individual who cannot maintain good oral health or refuses to do so is not a candidate. A patient who smokes or uses illegal drugs is also not a candidate. Each of these vices has the potential to stop a patient from enjoying lasting results from the full mouth reconstruction. Furthermore, those who suffer from a heart issue or an autoimmune disease will likely require special consideration prior to undergoing treatment.
