WHAT IS A FULL MOUTH RESTORATION?
A full mouth restoration is a dental procedure that is typically used to replace or restore all of the teeth on the upper and/or lower arch. However, every full mouth restoration plan is customized to ensure the most appropriate and effective treatment for each patient as an individual. Full mouth reconstructions may be performed on patients who have experienced severe tooth decay, advanced periodontal disease, trauma, and other compromising events.
WHAT DOES A FULL MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION CONSIST OF?
The first step in a full mouth reconstruction is a thorough evaluation and review of the patient’s dental and oral health and history. Imaging studies are typically performed during this stage as well. Before beginning the restoration process, Dr. Modesto-Garrido will treat any dental issues that are detected on the initial examination, such as an active infection. After this, patients will attend a pre-treatment consultation where they’ll have a chance to ask any questions they may have, and Dr. Modesto-Garrido will discuss all of their available options at length. Based on this information, a customized treatment plan will be curated. Generally speaking, full dental restorations may include some combination of the following:
- Tooth extraction
- Dental implants
- Dental crowns
- Dental bridges
- Dental veneers
- Orthodontic treatments
- Teeth whitening
- Gum contouring
HOW LONG DOES A FULL MOUTH RESTORATION TAKE?
The timeline for a full mouth reconstruction will vary from patient to patient based on their current oral health and which treatments are included in their procedure plan. For most patients, a full mouth reconstruction is completed in several steps over the course of weeks, months, or even years.
