Common Cosmetic Dental Procedures in Full Mouth Reconstruction

You probably have many questions if your dentist has recommended a full mouth reconstruction. Read on to learn more about the procedures typically involved in full mouth reconstructions. There are a variety of reasons why you may be concerned about impending treatments. Many of these procedures are invasive and time-consuming. Different cosmetic dental procedures are available, depending on your situation.

Common cosmetic dental procedures as part of full mouth reconstruction

Some of the most common cosmetic dental treatments that may be part of your full mouth reconstruction include:

• Ceramic or porcelain crowns
• Teeth whitening
• Orthodontics
• Bridges
• Dental implants
• Inlays and onlays
• Porcelain veneers
• Composite bonding

Most of these procedures enhance the smile's look, but many of them may also improve oral function and health. Chewing, for example, becomes significantly more natural and effective after teeth are correctly aligned with braces. Since chewing is an important part of digestion, it might impact the patient's overall health, as well.

Dental implants are another instance of how cosmetic dental treatments may enhance functionality. The teeth will not move and result in an incorrect bite because the implant fills the space left by the missing tooth. Tooth replacement with dental implants also prevents plaque and food debris from accumulating and causing an oral infection, abscess, or cavities in nearby teeth. This also applies to bridges' functional purpose.

Dental bonding

Composite bonding can correct both aesthetic and functional concerns because it can restore decaying, broken, or discolored teeth during a full mouth reconstruction. Teeth that are chipped or have worn-down edges can also be restored with composite bonding. The composite material is placed on the tooth's surface, molded into the desired form, and then hardened. Bonding is one of the more affordable cosmetic dental treatments in full mouth reconstruction.

Teeth whitening

Other cosmetic dental operations are done to enhance one's appearance. Teeth whitening is one of the most common of these procedures. Food, beverages, medications, and personal behaviors such as smoking may discolor the teeth over time. Whitening treatments performed in a dentist's office provide better results in less time than over-the-counter whitening kits. Many individuals believe that whitening their teeth gives them a younger look and increases their self-esteem.

Dental crowns

A dentist may advise the patient to get a crown if a tooth's structure is compromised due to severe decay or trauma. This restorative crown protects the tooth from further harm by covering it completely. It restores the tooth's structure and chewing capacity by stabilizing it. Crowns are generally fabricated from porcelain, ceramic, or composite material and are cemented over the tooth after its surface has been prepared.
