- Full mouth restorations fix or restore every tooth in your mouth in order to renew the functionality and appearance of your smile.
- These restorations and smile makeovers both use multiple procedures to restore your smile, but unlike smile makeovers, full mouth restorations are medically necessary.
- Damage due to congenital diseases, injuries, or oral cancer, as well as issues with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) are just some of the issues that full mouth restorations can repair.
- If you have severe or complicated dental issues, you may be a good candidate for this treatment, but you may need treatment for bone loss or periodontal disease first.
- Each restoration is based entirely upon your individual needs, so they don’t often look alike.
- To start the process, Dr. Harrison uses X-rays and molds of your teeth to determine what procedures you need, and discusses with you what you would like your smile to look like.
- Due to the healing process necessary between each of your procedures, full mouth restorations can take anywhere from a few months to over a year to complete.
- Modern anesthetics ensure you won’t experience discomfort during the procedure, though you will likely need over-the-counter pain medications during the healing process.
- Due to the many procedures involved, these restorations are costly. Schedule a consultation at the dentist to discuss the potential costs and how much your insurance is likely to cover.
- With proper care, your restoration can last a lifetime, but it can still fail due to periodontal disease. To help it last, care for your mouth with a great daily oral hygiene routine.
