Full Mouth Restoration FAQ

What is Revision Dentistry?

Often referred to as restorative or corrective dentistry, involves the assessment, repair, or replacement of previous dental work that is failing, outdated, or no longer meets the patient’s needs. We focus on improving both the function and aesthetics of the mouth, particularly when past treatments have not yielded satisfactory results.

Key aspects: Addressing Complications, Material Upgrades, Functional Restoration.

What is a full mouth reconstruction / restoration?

A full mouth restoration is a combination of treatments to address functional issues, restore oral health with the best aesthetic outcome. Evolving dental technologies and materials bridge the gap between past treatments and modern standards of care, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for patients.

Is a full mouth reconstruction the same as a Smile Makeover?

While both procedures will enhance appearance, full mouth reconstruction focuses on repairing and rebuilding the mouth for functional and health reasons, whereas a smile makeover is primarily aesthetic.

What are the common reasons people seek a full mouth reconstruction?

People of all ages seek full mouth restoration for a variety of reasons which often overlap including (but not limited to):

  • Tooth Loss: Missing teeth due to injury, decay, or periodontal disease.
  • Severe Decay: Extensive decay and recurrent infections affecting multiple teeth.
  • Worn Teeth: Teeth worn down by grinding (bruxism) or acidic erosion.
  • Periodontal Disease: Advanced gum disease affecting the stability and health of teeth.
  • Failed Previous Dental Work: Restorations that are failing may need to be redone as part of a full mouth approach.

Why should I be concerned about old dental treatments?

Old dental work, particularly those completed over 20 years ago, may be beginning to fail due to the limitations of the materials and techniques used at that time. Dental materials, such as amalgam fillings, older composite resins and cements, should not be expected to have the same durability, biocompatibility as current day alternatives. Over time, those materials can wear down, crack, or become dislodged, leading to potential issues such as pain, infection, structural failure, as well as complications that extend beyond the mouth. It’s important for individuals with older dental work to consult their dentist for evaluations and potential updates or replacements before the effects are apparent.

How would bad/broken dental work affect the body?

The integration of dental work into the oral environment is significant, as the health of the mouth is closely linked to overall health.

Since teeth are directly connected to the bone, this creates a clear pathway for bacteria or toxins to enter the bloodstream, impacting not just the oral cavity but various systems throughout the body causing low-grade, chronic inflammation – a condition with deep and real consequences for the body.

  1. Infection: If old fillings or crowns fail, it can lead to bacterial infections that may spread to other parts of the body, potentially affecting the heart or other organs and leading to serious complications.
  2. Chronic Pain and Discomfort: Degraded or ill-fitting dental work causing pain will affect a person’s quality of life. The inability to chew properly and maintain a balanced diet can impact physical and mental health.
  3. Gum Disease: Dental work compromised by wear, can be a slow contributor to gum disease which has been linked to various systemic conditions.
  4. Nutritional Deficiencies: Inability to chew properly due to failing dental work can lead to dietary restrictions, resulting in deficiencies in essential nutrients.

What are the latest advancements that improve dental treatment outcomes?

The latest dental technology provide more efficient, precise, and comfortable solutions for patients. yes we have all of them including:

  • Cone Beam CT Imaging: Provides detailed 3D images of the mouth, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, especially for implants and surgery
  • Digital Impressions: Using 3D scanning technology to create accurate digital models of teeth, eliminating the need for traditional molds.
  • CAD/CAM Technology: Computer-aided design and manufacturing software enable the creation of precise dental restorations, such as veneers, crowns and bridges
  • Piezo Dentistry: Ultrasonic technology can separate cells on a microscopic level with less trauma and quicker recovery.
  • Biocompatible Materials: New materials that are better tolerated by the body used in grafting and implant treatment.
  • Biological Materials and Regenerative Techniques: PRP/PRF therapy and advanced grafting techniques enhance bone and soft tissue regeneration.

Precise imaging is essential for a diagnosis, hence we are happy to offer all necessary scans (from which to quote) without cost, whether or not you decide to proceed with treatment.
