What’s Involved in a Full Mouth Reconstruction?

If you have extensive dental problems impacting teeth and gums, you may benefit from a full mouth reconstruction. Using multiple different treatment methods, Dr. Henrich, an experienced dentist in Tulsa, OK, will give you back your dental health and a comfortable, beautiful smile.

What Will a Full Mouth Reconstruction Fix?

Every patient is different. First, Dr. Henrich will do a full evaluation to see what’s necessary for your rehabilitation. We can address problems affecting the health and appearance of the gums, teeth, and jaw alignment issues. The goal is to restore function, stabilize health, and work with you to achieve your aesthetic goals. Depending on your case, methods may include:

  • Replacing missing teeth
  • Closing any gaps between teeth
  • Repairing chipped and cracked teeth
  • Treating gum disease
  • Whitening discolored or stained teeth
  • Restoring and reshaping teeth
  • Straightening misaligned and crooked teeth
  • Treating any cavities or infections

Not only do we want you to have a smile you’re confident in, but we also want you to have ideal oral health.

What Methods Will Be Used for My Reconstruction?

There are a variety of things we can do during a full mouth reconstruction. After x-rays and other testing, we’ll determine what needs to be done to fully rehabilitate your smile. If there are any specific goals you have, we’ll take those into consideration while we build your treatment plan as well. Your treatments may include:

These treatments will all be based on the current condition of your oral health. If you’re missing a large amount of jawbone, we may not be able to use dental implants, for example. It’s all about finding the right methods that work for your specific case.

The first thing we’ll look at is disease and infection. Before more in-depth procedures take place, these things will have to be addressed. Gum disease will need to be treated, as it makes the mouth more sensitive to other bacteria and infections. We’ll determine if decaying teeth will need to be extracted or if we can use root canals and dental fillings to keep the existing tooth.

For more cosmetic issues like discoloration or chipped teeth, we’ll use treatments like porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, or dental bonding. Dental crowns can be used for more severe cases. If teeth will need to be replaced, we can use dental implants, dentures, or dental bridges. We’ll evaluate the condition of your jaw bone and the number of missing teeth before we make a decision on the best treatment option for you.
