Full mouth reconstructions are complex procedures that simultaneously fix many cosmetic and functional problems. Problems that a full mouth reconstruction can correct include severe tooth decay, missing teeth, bite irregularities, gum recession, and jaw misalignments. At Restoration Smiles: Adult & Pediatric Dentistry, our dentist will first carefully analyze your smile to determine what needs correcting and create a treatment plan to restore your beautiful smile.

The Benefits of a Full Mouth Reconstruction

A full mouth reconstruction can improve the functionality and appearance of the teeth and reduce stress on your jaw joints by eliminating bite misalignments. Other benefits of full mouth restorations include:

• Improved chewing ability
• Better smile aesthetics
• A more youthful appearance
• Fewer headaches
• Increased confidence
• Reduced risk of broken or loose teeth
• More comfortable biting surfaces and relief from TMJ pain

Smile Design

A smile design can include any number of cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of teeth. But whatever the specifics, it’s an important topic for patients considering any cosmetic dentistry procedure.

A common goal of a smile design is to address multiple issues with the appearance of the front teeth, which are typically shown the most in a smile. These issues can include the shape or color of the teeth themselves, spaces between them, or even the misalignment of one or more teeth. Some patients may have one issue, and others have a combination of two, three or more. This means that each patient’s smile design will differ depending on their defined priorities.

This being said, some standard components of a smile design can apply to most patients. The treatment plan will likely include porcelain veneers for every cosmetic dentistry patient. Porcelain veneers are thin shells of dental-grade ceramic bonded to the teeth's front side. They change tooth color, alignment, and shape in the upper and lower teeth. Veneers can also close gaps between teeth and hide minor imperfections in the enamel, such as chips or staining.

Because restorations like veneers involve changing the outward appearance of the teeth, they are considered “smile design.” In a broader sense, however, the term may be used to apply to any treatment that involves altering the appearance of the mouth. Treatments might include teeth whitening, straightening with Invisalign® clear aligners, replacing silver fillings with white ones, and many others. Talk to our dentist about your particular goals for your smile to see what options may suit you.
