Full Mouth Restoration
Full mouth reconstruction or restoration is the process of simultaneously restoring all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws.
The dentist will typically perform procedures like crowns, bridges, veneers, as well as specialized treatments like orthodontists, implants, oral surgery and Endodontists (root canal).
If you think you need full mouth restoration, the dentist will start by performing a comprehensive examination to determine the extent of the problem and your treatment options. The following will need to be examined:
- The condition of your teeth, including cavities, decay, tooth wear and other issues.
- Gum tissue - Any issues with your gums will need to be addressed. This is important as your newly reconstructed teeth will need a solid foundation.
- Your jaw muscles.
- Shape and size of your teeth.
