At Fort York Dentist, we understand that maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile is essential for overall well-being. For individuals facing multiple dental challenges, full mouth reconstruction offers a complete solution to restore both functionality and aesthetics. Whether you’re dealing with extensive damage, decay, or genetic conditions affecting your teeth, our dental team is here to guide you through the transformative journey of full mouth reconstruction.
Assessing the Need for Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction is recommended for individuals experiencing a range of dental issues. Our dental professionals have gathered below a few common cases where a full mouth reconstruction is used.
- Traumatic tooth loss or damage from injury
- Advanced decay or gum disease leading to tooth loss
- Severe tooth wear from grinding or acid erosion
- Congenital abnormalities affecting tooth development
These conditions not only impact the appearance of one’s smile but they also affect bite alignment and overall oral function. Our goal with full mouth reconstruction is to address these concerns completely, providing lasting improvements in both form and function.
The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process
At Fort York Dentist, we prioritize personalized care and attention to detail throughout the full mouth reconstruction process. Here’s what you can expect when it comes to our process.
- Initial Consultation. The first step is a consultation with our dentist. During consultation, we’ll discuss your dental history, concerns, and treatment goals. A thorough examination, including imaging and modelling, allows us to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. We will also discuss medications or conditions that could affect the treatment process.
- Creating a Treatment Plan. Based on your goals and examination results, we’ll create a treatment plan encompassing various procedures such as periodontal therapy, root canal therapy, orthodontics, teeth removal and dental implants. Each treatment is strategically sequenced to optimize results.
- Treatment. Your full mouth reconstruction may involve multiple stages, with treatments allocated over several appointments to allow time to heal before moving on to the next procedure. Our dental team ensures that each procedure is performed with precision and care, with a focus on achieving your desired outcomes.
- Recovery & Aftercare. Following treatment, we provide complete aftercare instructions to support healing and maintain the longevity of your restorations. From oral hygiene practices, like medical-grade mouthwash, to the use of protective appliances, like a night guard, our team will guide you through every step of the recovery process.
Addressing Worn Dentition
Worn dentition refers to the condition where the teeth have experienced significant erosion or abrasion, often due to factors like teeth grinding (bruxism), acid erosion from diet, acid reflux, etc. It results in the loss of tooth material, typically starting with the enamel and it can lead to changes in the appearance of the teeth, such as flattening or shortening, as well as issues with bite alignment and sensitivity. After enamel is lost, the second layer of the tooth, known as dentin, will begin to wear off. If left untreated, it can cause various issues in function, teeth pain, and disk displacement in TMJ.
However, through full mouth reconstruction, our team at Fort York Dentist can address these concerns completely. By restoring both the cosmetic and functional aspects of the teeth, we aim to prevent further damage to the TMJ and preserve the remaining dentition,
