Improving Life Quality with Full Mouth Reconstruction
Your oral health affects the quality of your life.
If your smile makes you feel self-conscious, chances are you’ll also shy away from social activities. If chewing causes pain in your mouth, you’re likely to skip nutritious food for comfort. If you’re experiencing problems with your jaw joint, the pain can radiate to other parts of your body.
Here at Cool Dental in Lethbridge, we offer full mouth reconstruction services to patients dealing with multiple oral health issues.
What is a Full Mouth Reconstruction
Sometimes, a single dental procedure isn’t enough to address your oral health issues. A full mouth reconstruction involves several dental treatments that are chosen to improve the way your mouth functions.
You may need a full mouth reconstruction due to an accident or trauma to the teeth, severe damage and fracture, bad bite, and chronic pain in your mouth, among others.
Common Dental Procedures Involved in Full Mouth Reconstruction
The dental procedures that we recommend depend on the condition of your mouth. Here are common dentistry services included in a full mouth reconstruction:
- Fillings to fix tooth decay and cavities
- Dental crowns to restore the shape and strength of damaged teeth
- Dental bridges to fill a gap left by missing teeth and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting position
- Dental implants for a long-lasting, natural tooth replacement option
- Root canal treatments to remove the diseased pulp and save the tooth
- Custom dental appliance to relieve symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD)
The goal is for you to achieve a balanced and healthy smile. Once your full mouth reconstruction is complete, you’ll see significant changes not only in your smile but in your overall health as well.
Full Mouth Reconstruction vs. Smile Makeover
You may be wondering how the full mouth reconstruction differs from a smile makeover.
A full mouth reconstruction focuses on dental procedures that you need. The treatments, by nature, are restorative. However, the results also make your smile more attractive. For example, if you need dental fillings to fix cavities, we can apply tooth-coloured options for a natural look.
A smile makeover, meanwhile, is done for aesthetic purposes. You may not need the procedures immediately.
It can be hard to separate a full mouth reconstruction from a smile makeover. Many of the equipment, techniques, and training required are similar. Both also need exceptional knowledge from the dental practitioner.
