Who Requires a Full Mouth Reconstruction?

There are a number of people who have dental problems throughout their mouths that must be treated comprehensively with a vision of a final result that improves both function and esthetics. These patients may exhibit multiple missing teeth, numerous teeth with large fillings that are failing or exhibiting decay, cracked or broken teeth, or badly worn teeth due to bruxism (teeth grinding) or other habits.

There is also a group of patients who were born with conditions such as Ectodermal Dysplasia, Ameliogenesis, or DentinogenisisImperfecta that will need extensive restoration of their teeth. These patients may be candidates for a full mouth reconstruction.

Treatment Options for a Full Reconstruction

In some patients, other specialties will orthodontics may also be employed to facilitate the best possible outcome.
