Has your bite been badly damaged by teeth grinding, trauma, or other causes? If so, you might benefit from a full mouth reconstruction. A full mouth reconstruction restores all the damaged teeth in your mouth at the same time. The goal is not just to repair damage and improve the appearance of your teeth, we want to restore your bite to its optimal health.

Every restoration is a custom combination of procedures. To learn how cosmetic dentistry can restore your smile, please contact a local lovebites dentist today.

What Is a Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Full mouth reconstruction is just what it sounds like: we reconstruct your entire mouth. This may not include new restorations on all or most teeth.

Each reconstruction is a custom configuration of procedures, including a mixture of veneers, dental crowns, dental bridges, and/or dental implants. Your dentist will assess your tooth needs and recommend a combination of procedures to achieve the exact results you’re looking for.

What Can a Full Mouth Reconstruction Do?

A full mouth reconstruction is used when many of your teeth have been badly damaged or even lost as a result of:

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ or TMD)
Teeth clenching and grinding (bruxism)
Tooth erosion
Eating disorders (especially bulimia nervosa)
Trauma
Oral cancer
Congenital conditions

In these cases, we will consult with you about what has to be done to restore your teeth to good health, full function, and an attractive appearance. We want to make sure we adequately repair your teeth to ensure long-lasting results that are beautiful and functional. We also want to make sure that we build up a healthy new bite.

Why Your Dentist Matters

Full mouth reconstruction probably depends more on your dentist than any other procedure. In many cases, your dentist is rebuilding your bite almost from scratch. To do this successfully depends on a good understanding of bite science and the proper balance of forces between your teeth, bones, muscles, and nerves.

Your dentist is also trying to rebuild the appearance of your smile. They should be able to look at your face as well as a few reference photographs from before tooth damage and determine how to build an attractive smile that not only looks beautiful, but balances with your proper facial proportions–it needs to look and feel like you.

Why Your Lab Matters

Your lab is also critical when you’re considering any major dental work. The aesthetic and functional demands on restorations are higher in a full mouth reconstruction. Crowns, bridges, and implants need to be able to withstand the forces they will be subject to, and they need to look right. Quality control matters here–the restorations need to precisely match one another and they should be free from flaws that can lead to premature failure.

That’s why lovebites has partnered with Las Vegas Esthetics (LVE), one of the country’s leading dental labs. LVE provides quality restorations at a discount to lovebites dentists. This discount becomes increasingly significant when you consider all the restorations that might be necessary.
