Several components make up your dentition. Your gums, tongue, cheeks, teeth, and jaw all come together to form a structure that allows you to chew, swallow, bite and speak. When your dentition is fully-functional, every facet of your mouth works seamlessly; however, when a problem occurs, one component of your smile can affect the rest.
If you neglect to take good care of your teeth, they will begin to wear down. Tooth decay and infection can infiltrate the health of your smile and create issues like gum disease, pain, and even tooth loss. When you’ve reached a point where your smile is no longer functional, and there are several dental issues present, your best option will often be full mouth restoration.
What Is Full Mouth Restoration?
A full-mouth restoration is a series of procedures reserved for individuals who are experiencing multiple dental issues. When a problem is incapable of being fixed with just one treatment alone, and several dental professionals are required to provide their input on the functionality of your smile, a full-mouth restoration is often necessary.
Full-mouth restoration can replace missing teeth, addressing issues with the jaw bone, treating dental diseases and restoring broken dental appliances. Depending on your particular dental concerns, you can come out with a fully-functional smile when you choose to undergo a full-mouth restoration.
Some procedures that you may require include:
- Dental implants
- Crowns
- Bridges
- Inlays and onlays
- Fillings
- TMJ treatment
- Bite therapy
- Braces
- Root canals
- Gum disease treatment
An appointment with your dentist will help you decide which procedures will benefit you the most and determine whether the need to refer to other dental professionals to take care of your dental needs. Typically, a prosthodontist will oversee your treatment, but oral surgeons, cosmetic dentists, and general dentists are also involved in restoring your smile. Once you identify the most appropriate treatments, you and your dentist can map out a treatment plan and schedule your first appointment.
