What is a full mouth reconstruction?

A full-mouth reconstruction (or rehabilitation) involves individually reconstructing every tooth in your mouth to alleviate problems.

Full mouth reconstruction utilises a number of dental procedures to correct an improper bite position as well as worn down, chipped and broken teeth. The most common solutions to these problems are crowns, veneers, onlays, and dental implants.

Candidates for a full mouth reconstruction

A full mouth reconstruction is necessary where the teeth are worn down, broken down or missing, causing problems in both the bite and appearance of the mouth.

Full mouth reconstruction is designed to restore your smile and, at the same time, make eating easier and more comfortable. Cosmetic dentistry has evolved dramatically in recent years. Many people have old style dentistry that was done in bits and pieces and overtime much of this has worn resulting in collapsed bites and difficulty chewing. This wear and patchwork quilt of old style dental work creates an appearance that can age you beyond how you feel. Furthermore, a poor bite can cause jaw joint problems, muscle tenderness, and even headaches. Chewing and speech may be affected, as well.

Finding the ideal bite relationship using specialised technology.
Preparation of the teeth and placement of provisional restorations whilst your final restorations are manufactured at a specialist laboratory.
Placement of the final restorations which are permanently cemented in place.
