Full Mouth Reconstruction

The main goal of full mouth rehabilitation is to improve your facial appearance and increase chewing efficiency and function . For many patients this is the best course of treatment because it can tackle multiple issues like decay, gum disease, missing teeth and misalignment all at once.

Together we will create a tailored treatment strategy with the objective of rebuilding the optimal dental structure in your mouth and to help you reclaim your ability to have improved function and show-off a healthy smile.

What is full mouth reconstruction?

As the name implies, a full-mouth rehabilitation refers to the process of restoring most or all of your teeth, and may also include gum treatments if you are suffering from gum disease. This treatment is generally only required if most of your teeth have been damaged due to oral neglect, gum disease, tooth infections and decay, or major dental trauma, such as a car accident.

Because each patient is different, the procedures used for full-mouth rehabilitation also can vary quite a bit at our Dedham dental office. Treatments like dentures, dental bridges, or dental implants may be used to restore missing teeth. Dental crowns, fillings, and/or root canals may be required to restore infected or damaged teeth. Periodontal treatments are used to control and eliminate gum disease, and cosmetic dentistry like porcelain veneers may also be required to cover up misshapen or stained teeth.

However, the end result is always the same. After full-mouth rehabilitation at Digital Dental Studio, you’ll have a healthy mouth, a functional and natural-looking smile, and the ability to resume your day-to-day life without worrying about your oral health.

Types of full mouth reconstruction?

During your visit, the Dr. Vishart will first examine your teeth and gums to determine your specific needs. Some types of restorative procedures are minimally invasive, while others are little bit more invasive, such as implants or extractions.

– Restore Existing Teeth:

Our goal is to save as many of your natural teeth as possible. So, to prevent further decay to damaged teeth, Dr. Vishart will determine if you need tooth fillings or veneers to restore and improve the functionality and aesthetics of the teeth, mouth, and smile.

A full mouth reconstruction can involve the combination of several different dental treatments in order to get the desired outcome, like dental implants, crowns, dental bridges or dentures. Every patient is different and your treatment will depend on your specific needs.

Rather than living with the hassles of dentures, many people opt for full-mouth dental implant restorations or all on X. You don’t need a dental implant for every one of your missing teeth. Dr. Vishart can attach an entire row of upper or lower teeth using 6 precisely placed implants.
