Benefits of Full Mouth Reconstruction
Patients who have full mouth reconstruction will benefit in the following ways:
- Improved structural integrity
- Improved aesthetic appearance results in increased self-confidence
- Natural look and feel
- Reduced risk of tooth decay
- Reduced risk of infection
- Prevents alteration in appearance of your face or jaw
- Results are often long lasting or permanent, which means touch-ups will not be required
- Improved ability and incentive to take good care of your oral health
- Requires less maintenance, feels more natural, and allows you to enjoy all foods as compared to dentures
- Stops bone loss
- Restores self-confidence
Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedures
Full mouth reconstruction typically takes place over multiple visits and includes any combination of the following procedures: implants, fixed bridges, crown lengthening, etc. These are examples that would require partnering with your General Dentist, who will complete the restorative process.
- Bone Grafting:Â Patients who have lost a tooth or multiple teeth and have lost a sufficient amount of jawbone may be good candidates for bone grafting. Dental bone grafting restores the mass of jawbone by placing grafting material in the area where deterioration has occurred. When the bone graft is complete, there will be sufficient mass in the area to support a dental implant.
- Dental Implants: Dental implants are one of the most effective methods for returning patients to their normal daily activities and provide stronger structural integrity, improved aesthetic appearance, and a decreased risk of developing additional oral health issues associated with long-term tooth loss. There are a range of dental implant options (All-on-4, implant supported dentures, Teeth-in-a-Day, et. al), all of which involve the strategic placement of titanium posts into the jaw. Over time, these posts fuse with the jawbone, after which a crown is adhered.

Aftercare Following Full Mouth Reconstruction
Once the full mouth reconstruction procedure is complete, we will provide post-operative instructions to ensure that you minimize your risk of developing complications and enjoy a fast recovery time. The recovery process following full mouth reconstruction will depend in large part on the type of procedures you are having performed, but patients can typically expect to stick to a soft food diet and avoid chewing in the procedural area for at least two weeks, after which you can begin to reintroduce harder foods. It is also common to experience sensitivity and swelling following the procedure, but this can typically be managed using ice packs and over-the-counter pain-relieving medication. If you are prescribed pain-relieving medication and/or antibiotics, it is essential to follow the recommended dose until the prescription runs out.
Once you have fully recovered, you can return to your normal diet and self-care practices; however, taking consistent good care of your oral health will reduce the likelihood of needing similar treatments in the future, especially if this procedure was performed because of improper or insufficient self-care. Make it a habit to brush your teeth twice daily (at a minimum) for at least two minutes each time. Also, remember to brush your tongue and cheeks, as well as behind the lower and upper front teeth.
Flossing at least once a day and being mindful of the type of foods and beverages you consume are also important steps to maintaining good oral health and preserving the integrity of your implants. Finally, continuing to schedule regular checkups every six months (or more if necessary) is the most important step you can take to maintain your oral health and identify and correct issues before they develop into something more significant. By following these best practices, you will maximize the longevity of your implants and continue to enjoy good oral health!
