Full mouth reconstruction can involve multiple things. You’d be talking about doing a bunch of crowns and fillings versus taking out a bunch of teeth and doing implants. Full mouth reconstruction is for the patient that is lacking confidence, doesn’t like the way their smile looks, or is having a difficult time chewing and eating.
If you find yourself not being able to eat the things that you once enjoyed and once were able to eat, that’s usually an indication that we may need to discuss a full mouth reconstruction. For full mouth reconstructive treatment plans, they can be quite extensive and sometimes can feel overwhelming. So for those cases, we sometimes can space things out to make it more comfortable for patients.
We also offer a lot of different financing options for patients to help ease the financial burden. Sedation and full mouth reconstruction go hand in hand. In full mouth reconstruction cases, there’s a lot of work that needs to be done and sedation is a very useful tool to allow us to be able to get a lot of that work done in less visits.
You know, sometimes I hear from patients that they think it’s too late and they should just take all their teeth out and get dentures. There’s nothing like your natural teeth. Dentures are the last ditch effort.
They’re not comfortable, they move around, you lose your taste. There’s nothing like a natural set of teeth. So when we’re still able to reconstruct and rebuild what you have, that’s always the best option.
