Full-mouth reconstruction may be ideal for patients with extensive dental concerns that affect both function and appearance. This comprehensive treatment can address a wide range of conditions through a fully customized approach. Candidates for full-mouth reconstruction may include individuals with the following:

• Advanced tooth decay
• Teeth damaged by bruxism (chronic grinding)
• Congenital conditions such as ectodermal dysplasia, amelogenesis imperfecta, or dentinogenesis imperfecta
• A collapsed bite or facial volume loss due to missing teeth and bone deterioration

Following a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and jawbone, Doctors Caron or Kenney might suggest full-mouth reconstruction. Your personalized treatment program will be custom-designed, depending on the state of your teeth, gums, TMJ (temporomandibular) joints, facial muscles, and bite. Doctors Caron or Kenney will discuss your treatment needs, their recommendations for care, and sedation options during your consultation to make sure your treatment strategy fits your wants and goals. Once your treatment program is created, we will discuss what to expect during your full-mouth reconstruction and schedule your visits. Generally, a full-mouth reconstruction can take anywhere from a few visits to several months to complete, depending on your treatment needs. Our team at Tupelo Smiles Family and Cosmetic Dentistry will schedule your procedures with breaks in between to let your mouth heal before moving on to other treatments.

After each procedure in your full-mouth reconstruction treatment program, Doctors Caron or Kenney will explain what to expect and how to care for your teeth and gums in the best possible way. We may write a prescription for antibiotics or pain medication that should be filled prior to your treatment and taken as directed. You might experience some discomfort or swelling after certain procedures, such as implant placement, so a liquid or soft food diet might be suggested for you during this time. After your full-mouth reconstruction is finished, you should maintain your restored oral health with good brushing and flossing at home. Yearly dental examinations and biannual cleanings at Tupelo Smiles Family and Cosmetic Dentistry will also be important. During your exams, doctors Caron or Kenney can track the health of your new restorations, gums, teeth, and jaw.

How long does the full-mouth reconstruction process take?

The duration of a full-mouth reconstruction depends on the complexity of the case and the specific procedures involved. It can range from several months to over a year, as some treatments require healing periods before proceeding to the next step. For example, dental implants need time to integrate with the jawbone before final restorations can be placed. ?

Is the full-mouth reconstruction process painful?

Patients may experience discomfort during and after certain procedures involved in a full-mouth reconstruction. However, dental professionals utilize anesthesia and sedation techniques to minimize pain during treatments. Post-procedure discomfort can typically be managed with prescribed medications and proper aftercare.

How long do the results of a full-mouth reconstruction last?

With proper care, the results of a full-mouth reconstruction can last many years and, in some cases, a lifetime. The longevity of the restorations depends on factors such as the materials used, the patient's oral hygiene practices, and regular dental visits for maintenance.
