Common Questions About Full-Mouth Reconstruction
What is a full-mouth reconstruction?
A full-mouth reconstruction is the process of replacing all or nearly all your teeth. Usually patients who come to us for this treatment have suffered widespread dental damage. They have difficulty eating and are embarrassed about the condition of their smile. We often use dental implants and replacement teeth to restore these patients' smiles.
How long does a full-mouth reconstruction take?
The exact length of your full-mouth reconstruction will depend on several factors, including your oral health situation and the type of replacement teeth we use. We may be able to perform a same-day smile procedure, giving you new implants and replacement teeth in a single appointment. Otherwise, there may be a waiting period of several months between getting your implants and receiving your replacement teeth.
How much does a full-mouth reconstruction cost?
The cost for your full-mouth reconstruction can vary widely, depending on the type of treatment we perform. We encourage you to come in for an initial exam so we can discuss your needs and take a set of digital images to create treatment options. Then we can provide you with an accurate estimate of your treatment.
Who is a good candidate for full-mouth reconstruction?
Full-mouth reconstruction is a good fit for adults who are missing most or all of their teeth, or whose remaining teeth are too damaged or decayed to save. It is also an option for patients who have been living with severely worn, broken, or failing teeth and want to restore full function and appearance.
What is the difference between full-arch dentures and partial dentures?
There are important differences between full-arch and partial dentures. Full-arch dentures replace every tooth in the upper or lower jaw and are used when no healthy teeth remain. Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while attaching to the natural teeth that are still present. The right choice depends on how many healthy teeth you have and their condition.
What are implant-supported dentures and how are they different from traditional dentures?
Implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. This makes them far more stable than traditional removable dentures. They do not shift while eating or speaking, require no adhesive, and restore a bite strengt closer to that of natural teeth. Traditional dentures rest on the gums and rely on suction or adhesive for hold.
What is a same-day smile and how does it work?
A same-day smile is a full-mouth reconstruction option that provides you with custom dentures in a single appointment. Any remaining damaged teeth are extracted during the visit, and your new dentures are placed the same day so you leave with a complete smile. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to make any necessary adjustments for fit and comfort.
Is full-mouth reconstruction painful?
Full-mouth reconstruction procedures are performed with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout treatment. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during their appointments. Dental sedation is also available if you feel anxious about longer or more involved procedures. Any soreness after treatment is typically manageable and fades within a few days as your mouth heals.
