Full Mouth Reconstruction: Step by step to recovering your smile
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive dental treatment that restores function, aesthetics and oral health to patients who suffer from severe wear and tear, tooth loss or bite issues. This procedure improves not only a patient’s appearance but also his or her quality of life.
Below is a step-by-step explanation of the process.
Personal evaluation and diagnosis
The first step involves a consultation with our Prosthodontist (a specialist in oral reconstruction). This visit includes:
1. Clinical history and evaluation of oral habits.
2. Photographs and digital scans of the patient’s mouth.
3. 3D imaging or tomography to evaluate bone structure.
4. Bite analysis and masticatory function.
5. Discussion of the patient’s aesthetic and functional goals.
With this information, we design a personalized treatment plan that aligns with the patient’s needs and objectives.
1. Smile design and treatment planning
We use digital technology to plan your restoration. This includes:
– Digital design: A simulation of your new smile.
– Selection of materials and color of new pieces: This is done in order to achieve a natural look and long-term functionality
– Procedure planning: The order and times of each treatment stage
Patients can visualize the results and participate in the decisions regarding their new smile.
2. Pre-restoration treatments
Before beginning a dental restoration, it is important to have a healthy mouth. This includes:
– Treatment for gum disease: Deep cleaning or periodontal surgery, if necessary.
– Endodontics: If infection or damage to dental pulp is present.
– Tooth extraction: If any teeth need to be replaced.
– Orthodontics: If necessary to correct alignment or bite correction
Once the mouth is ready, we begin the restoration with procedures that are specific to each case:
- Dental Implants – Used to replace missing teeth in a fixed and natural way
- Prostheses over implants – Used for patients who require complete restorations
- Crowns – Used to reinforce and restore damaged teeth
- Bridges: Used instead of implants to replace missing teeth
- Porcelain veneers – Used to improve the aesthetics of front teeth
- Inlays – Used when extensive restorations are required and when a crown is not necessary.
- Composite fillings – If necessary
- Removable prostheses – Used in cases of extensive or complete tooth loss, for transitional or definitive treatments where the prosthesis is supported by the gums
Each treatment is personalized and performed with high-quality materials and advanced technology, ensuring durability and natural aesthetics.
3. Settings & Monitoring
After completing the restoration, we carry out controls to ensure that optimal conditions:
– Bite evaluation and fine-tuning of dental restorations.
– Suggestions for the care and maintenance of your new smile.
– Periodic dental visits for cleaning and revision.
