Full Mouth Restoration Questions

Santa Cruz, Monterey, Salinas, California

What is full mouth restoration?

Full Mouth Restoration Questions Full mouth restoration is the process of restoring and/or rebuilding all of the teeth and gums in a patient's mouth. This process is often used to help restore functionality and oral health. Often a combination of procedures is performed to produce the desired results. Some of these procedures may include:

Why would someone need a full mouth restoration?

The need for undergoing a full mouth restoration procedure may result from a number of situations such as:

  • Teeth lost due to trauma or decay
  • Teeth that were injured or fractured
  • Teeth that are worn due to long-term erosion or age
  • Consistent problems with headaches, muscle and jaw problems relating to neuromuscular dentistry.

What determines the extent of my dental problems and how they will be fixed?

Each patient is different. Restorative procedures that may work for another person's problems will not be the same routine needed for your specific problems. Factors taken into consideration are based on the condition of your teeth, gums, muscles, temporomandibular joints and the aesthetics of your teeth and smile.

How does a full mouth restoration differ from a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is more cosmetic in its aims, while a full mouth restoration addresses the health and function of your mouth. Although a full mouth restoration improves the appearance of your smile, its primary goal is to maintain good oral health. When you are in need of a full mouth restoration, modern cosmetic dentistry allows your dentist to provide you with clinically sound treatments that offer full function and durability as if you still maintained your own healthy teeth.

Many of the same techniques and technology are used whether you are undergoing a smile makeover or a full mouth restoration. Both types of procedures require that your cosmetic dentist have advanced knowledge, skill, and training in order to provide you with the best results possible.

What happens during the initial examination for a full mouth reconstruction?

During the initial examination process, your dentist will need to have multiple records of your mouth. These will include photographs, X-rays, impressions of upper and lower teeth, models made from those impressions and also a model or registration of your bite. You may also need to be referred to other specialists for consultation purposes in order to determine the best course of treatment for your needs.
