The aim is to restore function and aesthetic appearance to the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A full mouth reconstruction involves collaboration between specialist dentists such as periodontists, orthodontists and oral\/maxillofacial surgeons. A complete set of diagnostics will be carried out, for example X-rays followed by consultation with these specialists before the development of a treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">REASONS FOR A FULL MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several reasons for undergoing this comprehensive form of treatment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Severely damaged teeth<\/li><li>Fractured teeth<\/li><li>Chronic jaw disorders, e.g. bad bite<\/li><li>Missing teeth<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The extent of your condition will determine the amount of treatment required. But whatever treatment you choose, it will not be a quick solution. A full mouth reconstruction takes place over several visits and can continue for up to a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference between this procedure and a smile makeover is that a full mouth reconstruction is a mandatory form of treatment whereas a smile makeover is a lifestyle choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EXAMPLES OF TREATMENT AS PART OF A FULL MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few of the various treatments available as part of this process:Gum contouringInsertion of dental implants and the fitting of replacement teeth.Root planingBone\/soft tissue graftsCrowns, bridges, inlays and onlaysCorrective bracesSurgery to reposition a misaligned jawRoot canal treatment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of a full mouth reconstruction depends upon the number of treatments performed, the materials used and the duration.
