What is a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
A full mouth reconstruction (also referred to as a full mouth rehabilitation sometimes) is the process of repairing and rebuilding the look and function of your mouth, utilizing multiple procedures, techniques, and technologies at once (or over several weeks or months).
Reconstruction dentistry typically involves your Barton Oaks Dental Group dentist doing several procedures to have your mouth perform at its optimal function and look its absolute best. As with a smile makeover for cosmetic reasons, this will be different for each patient. No two will require the same procedures over the same period.
Along with repairing and rebuilding teeth, a full mouth reconstruction will restore and rebuild any gum tissue that is no longer viable and healthy. A full mouth reconstruction is a complete overhaul of your existing dental state to provide a healthy mouth that functions well and looks beautiful.

You may notice as you read our website that some of the procedures in a smile makeover may also be used in a full mouth reconstruction.
