Woman in dental chair with full mouth reconstruction Do you struggle to eat certain foods because of damaged or missing teeth? How often do you hide your smile because you don’t like the way your teeth look? You don’t have to live with the daily pain and embarrassment. You may be a candidate for full mouth reconstruction. Your dentist will create a personalized strategy using restorative and cosmetic procedures to rehabilitate your smile. Although every plan differs, here are 5 procedures that can give you the functional, beautiful, and pain-free smile you deserve.

1. Dental Crowns

A dental crown is the most widely used restorative procedure. A custom-made cap is placed over the entire surface of a tooth to improve its health, function, and appearance. A crown can be used to repair a broken or chipped tooth, or along with other procedures, like root canal therapy or a fixed bridge. Modern crowns are made of all-ceramic material to look like a natural part of your smile.

2. Tooth-Colored Fillings

If you needed a cavity in the past, it may have been treated with an amalgam filling. Although they are durable, metal fillings can stick out like a sore thumb. You can replace old fillings or treat decay using a natural-looking solution. A composite resin is customized to match the color of your teeth to blend in with your enamel.

3. Dentures & Partials

Every tooth is crucial to your oral health and quality of life. Losing even a single tooth can make it difficult to eat or speak clearly. Not to mention, your self-esteem was also lost along with each tooth. You can enjoy a complete smile again with dentures or partials. They have been used for generations to replace several or all lost teeth. Although they have a bad reputation for looking fake, they’ve undergone various improvements to closely mimic your real smile.

4. Dental Implants

A dental implant is unique because it rebuilds the entire tooth from the root up, providing unmatched benefits when compared to traditional bridges and dentures. With over a 95% success rate, they can last for decades, so you won’t have to worry about needing replacements. Whether treating a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch, your dentist has the solution for you, like All-On-4 dentures.

5. Dental Bonding

Dental bonding provides a quick fix for several issues, like dark stains, chips, cracks, or exposed tooth roots. A composite resin can resolve minor imperfections to improve the health and appearance of your teeth. The resin will look natural, so no one will know it is there.

If you’re ready to love the smile you see in the mirror, it’s time to schedule your consultation for full mouth reconstruction.
