Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs
What is a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
A Full Mouth Reconstruction is a comprehensive solution to all your dental problems, designed to remedy tooth pain, bleeding gums, missing teeth, gaps, and TMJ/TMD all at once. After a Full Mouth Reconstruction, you will find your ability to chew will be significantly improved, the aesthetic defects of your smile will be repaired, and pain associated with your teeth, gums, and jaws will be remedied.
What is the difference between a Full Mouth Reconstruction and a Smile Makeover?
The difference is primarily one of emphasis rather than procedures. A Full Mouth Reconstruction is directed mostly at functional problems in your mouth, whereas a Smile Makeover is directed at aesthetic issues, although both address functional and aesthetic issues to some extent.
Who is a candidate for Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Anyone who suffers from functional problems in his or her smile, such as missing teeth, crooked teeth, or bad bite.
I think I only have one major problem with my mouth, should I consider a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Yes. Sadly, most dental problems do not occur in isolation. A missing tooth can cause your other teeth to shift and become crooked, which can lead to a bad bite, and difficulty in cleaning your teeth that might cause periodontal (gum) disease. Sometimes one little sign such as pain in a single tooth, can indicate many contributing factors.
What procedures can I expect as a part of my Full Mouth Reconstruction?
The exact makeup of your Full Mouth Reconstruction will depend on the dental problems you face. Some examples of problems and their corrections include:
Is there an advantage to getting a Full Mouth Reconstruction over having the procedures done separately?
Yes. Getting a Full Mouth Reconstruction will allow Dr. Ikuta to properly schedule and pace the various treatments so that you achieve optimal results in the shortest time frame possible. It can also prevent you from undergoing re-operation on trouble spots that may require attention during several procedures.
