Sometimes, restoring a patient’s smile requires more dental work than just a dental crown or filling. For patients who have persistent, painful problems with their teeth and jaws, including TMJ/TMD and/or chipped, broken, or missing teeth, Fresno dentists Dr. Claudia Denes and Dr. Alex Denes may suggest full mouth reconstruction to restore comfort, function, health, and appearance to their smiles.
What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Because a full mouth reconstruction is based entirely on an individual patient’s needs, every procedure is different. Dr. Denes might use one or a combination of the following procedures to restore your smile:
- Porcelain veneers
- Dental bonding
- Dental implants
- Laser tooth whitening
- Porcelain crowns
- TMJ/TMD treatment
- And more
What’s Involved in Full Mouth Reconstruction?
To begin your full mouth reconstruction, call Fresno Dental Studio at (559) 297-1800 to reserve a consultation. At this appointment, Dr. Denes will evaluate the health of your teeth and gums. If the health of your smile needs a boost, Dr. Denes will help you achieve optimal oral health—with periodontal therapy, quality dental hygiene, and more—to lay the foundation for your smile makeover. Once your oral health is in tip-top shape, your full mouth reconstruction can begin.
At this point, Dr. Denes will examine your bite, record data about your bite relationship and fabricate study models. Dr. Denes will use the study models sometimes in conjunction with a full-mouth wax-up to explain you all the treatment needed; the wax-up will give you a very good preview of the end result while being an important tool for planning your case. To ensure the success and longevity of your reconstructive dental work, your bite misalignment must be corrected before the reconstruction procedures. Once your bite has been corrected, Dr. Denes will take into account your dental needs and smile goals and work with you to decide which procedure or combination of procedures you’d benefit from most.
At the conclusion of your treatment, you’ll have a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile that will last for years to come with the proper care.
