Are You a Good Candidate for Full Mouth Reconstruction?

For patients whose teeth and gums are failing because of extensive decay or damage, Dentistry Asleep offers full-mouth reconstruction. This comprehensive treatment combines necessary restorative and cosmetic procedures to rebuild and restore all of the teeth along both the upper and lower jaws.

Full mouth reconstruction may be necessary if:

  • Teeth are lost because of decay or traumatic injury
  • Teeth have sustained severe fractures
  • Teeth have become worn down because of acid erosion (from acid reflux or foods and beverages) or teeth grinding and clenching
  • Jaw and headache pain that make a bite adjustment necessary

At Dentistry Asleep, we don’t dwell on why a full mouth reconstruction may be required. Our goal is to help restore a patient’s healthy, functional and beautiful smile, and we do so non-judgmentally.

Furthermore, you can be certain that your treatment will happen while you are completely comfortable. As a Certified Specialist in Dental Anesthesia, Dr. Dann offers a full range of sedation techniques from mild nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas), moderate sedation with intravenous sedation, and light levels of general anesthesia for patients who prefer to be completely asleep.

The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process

If you think that you may be a candidate for full mouth reconstruction, then the first step is for Dr. Dann to conduct a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gum tissue, as well as your jaw muscles and joints to determine if TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder) will be a factor in your treatment. Of course, the esthetics of your teeth—their color, shape and size—as well as their proportional relationship to your mouth, lips, gums and face are critical factors in planning reconstruction, too.

This exam will also necessitate X-rays, photographs and impressions of your teeth. Once Dr. Dann has gathered all the information he needs, then he will develop a customized treatment plan. Your plan will likely require a number of restorative and cosmetic procedures completed over the course of multiple office visits. The procedures necessary may include:

  • Periodontal care and possible contouring of gum tissue to form a strong and visually appealing foundation for your new smile
  • Dental implants to replace missing teeth or to provide an anchor for a bridge or partial denture
  • Preparation of your natural teeth so restorations, such as crowns, veneers, bridges and inlays or onlays can be placed
  • Surgery to reposition the jaw
  • Orthodontic treatment to move teeth into their proper position

For some of the procedures required for full-mouth reconstruction, Dr. Dann may need to refer you to a qualified specialist, including an oral surgeon, a periodontist and an orthodontist. Dentistry Asleep, however, will always oversee your treatment plan.

Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs

How Long Does a Full Mouth Reconstruction Take?

The time it takes to complete your full mouth reconstruction from start to finish depends significantly on your unique circumstances. Several different factors can influence the timeline, like how many teeth need to be treated, the types of procedures you undergo, and how long it takes to heal from them.

If you have an important milestone coming up and want to look your best, please let Dr. Dann know during your initial consultation appointment. He’ll do his best to provide a plan to help you achieve your goals so that you can look and feel your best for your momentous occasion.

How Do I Know if I Need a Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Are you 100% pleased with the way your smile looks and functions, or do you feel self-conscious and frustrated over decayed, injured, or lost teeth and other concerns? If the latter is true for you, then you could potentially benefit from a full mouth reconstruction in Toronto.

This transformative treatment can include as many restorative and cosmetic procedures as it takes to improve your dental health and give you a beautiful grin you can feel proud of. However, before proceeding, you must consult Dr. Dann to ensure you’re a good candidate. He’ll examine your mouth and work with you on appropriate solutions based on your current condition.  

Does Getting a Full Mouth Reconstruction Hurt?

Many people develop anxiety around dental appointments, especially if they’re undergoing more complex procedures to rebuild their smiles. Rest assured, Dr. Dann and the rest of our team will do everything we can to help you feel calm and relaxed throughout your procedures.

For example, we’ll apply a local anesthetic before starting any dental work to prevent the nerves in your teeth, gums, or jaw from sending pain signals to your brain. Furthermore, Dr. Dann has advanced training and is licensed to administer sedatives to help you feel at ease the entire time.

Then, you might feel sore or inflamed after your treatment, depending on the work that was done. For instance, extracting teeth or placing dental implants can leave you feeling achy and swollen. Following our team’s post-op directions is the best way to heal effectively without developing any adverse effects, like dry socket or an infection.   

How Long Will My Full Mouth Reconstruction Results Last?

The longevity of your results also is based on your individual circumstances and can vary from person to person. With that said, you can generally expect them to last longer if you care for your smile correctly.

For instance, you should brush and floss twice daily at home to remove plaque and bacteria that contribute to common oral issues, like cavities or gum disease. This strengthens your enamel and connective tissues and removes germs that can cause infection or disease. You should also see our team in Toronto every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning.

You might want to steer clear of dark, hard, or chewy foods that could stain or injure your teeth and restorations, as well as avoid using your teeth as tools to open packages, boxes, or mail which can chip or crack them.
