There are a lot of reasons as to why an individual may require a full mouth reconstruction. Some of them include too many decayed teeth, broken or cracked teeth, missing teeth, and those that are worn out after too much grinding. There are also patients who have had too many fillings that went badly and now need full teeth replacements. Whether it’s for health or cosmetic requirements, there are a couple of options to explore when it comes to full mouth reconstruction.
What Options Only Involve The Teeth?
There are some options that are not too complicated and only require meddling with the visible parts of your teeth to achieve reconstruction. One of them is the use of dental crowns. This method involves placing a cap cover over broken or discolored teeth that already have a root in the gum. The caps are made of porcelain, metal, or the two materials combined. Dental veneers are also used to restore the full mouth for cosmetic purposes. Small pieces of porcelain are used to cover broken parts of teeth as well as give discolored teeth a new look.
What Options Involve The Gums?
The most common full mouth fixing method used is dental implants. It involves driving a small screw-like post into your gums before attaching a crown that looks exactly like the original tooth. When done throughout the mouth, joining bridges are used to hold everything together. Dentures are also another option that includes replacing a full row of missing teeth with a detachable artificial prosthetic that fits into the same spot.
