Full mouth reconstruction or full mouth restoration are terms often used to describe the process of restoring all teeth in the mouth. Full mouth reconstruction can involve general dentists and specialists such as pedondontists (for restoring teeth in young children), periodontists (specializing in gums and dental implant placement), oral surgeons (to remove teeth or place implants), orthodontists who specialize in tooth movement and positioning, and endodontists (specializing in tooth pulp).
When is full mouth reconstruction needed?
1 - When teeth have been lost due to decay or trauma.
2 - When teeth have been injured or fractured, or are severely worn due to acid erosion or bruxism (grinding).
3 - In occurrences of jaw, muscle, and headache pain requiring adjustment to occlusion.
Before a full mouth reconstruction begins, your dentist will meet with you for a consultation and comprehensive examination to determine the extent of dental decay and to review the treatment options that can correct the problem.
