Full Mouth Reconstruction

Columbia SC Reconstructive Dentistry

Full mouth reconstruction refers to the process of completely restoring all of the teeth in your mouth. Full mouth reconstruction, unlike a "smile makeover," is a necessary series of procedures, rather than an elective surgery. Full mouth reconstruction is needed when: teeth have been lost, teeth have been injured or fractured, teeth have become worn as a result of acid-erosion or jaw pain is present due to bite problems.

Procedures Involved in Full Mouth Reconstruction

Every patient’s full mouth reconstruction is different and, therefore, requires various different procedures. Usually, full mouth reconstruction requires multiple office visits and some amount of healing time. Dr. Ruggiero will determine which procedure or combination of procedures is necessary to restore and rebuild your perfect smile. Dr. Ruggiero will also refer you to other dental specialists if needed. Some options include:

  • Teeth cleaning (dental prophylaxis)
  • Crown lengthening to prepare tooth structure for possible dental crowns or dental bridges
  • Surgery to reposition the jaw (orthognathic surgery)
  • Contouring of the gum tissue
  • Reduction of natural tooth structure to prepare for dental crowns, bridges, and veneers
  • Placement of temporary restorations to get you used to your new teeth or bite adjustment
  • Placement of permanent restorations such as dental crowns, dental veneers, inlays/onlays, or dental bridges
  • Braces or clear aligners to move teeth into the ideal position for reconstruction
  • Bone graft or soft tissue grafting to increase the stability of your teeth or dental implants
