Purpose of Full Mouth Reconstruction


The purpose of a full-mouth reconstruction is to rebuild all of the teeth in the mouth and restore the health of the various oral structures. Our dentist in Los Angeles may recommend a full mouth reconstruction after a dental accident, widespread decay or advanced periodontitis. If you are a candidate for a full mouth reconstruction, here is what you can expect.

1.    Periodontal treatments
Healthy gums are crucial to the long-term success of a full mouth reconstruction. If you have advanced periodontitis, we may recommend surgical procedures to improve your gum health and antimicrobial treatments or periodontal maintenance to help keep them healthy.

2.    Dental surgery or extractions
Gum grafts, bone grafts, guided tissue regeneration, extractions and guided tissue regeneration may be needed to ensure a strong, healthy foundation for your new smile.

3.    Restorations
Each damaged or diseased tooth will need to be restored using a dental filling, inlay, onlay or dental crown. We can also restore missing teeth with dental implants or bridges.

4.    Orthodontic treatment
Jaws that do not align properly or teeth that are crooked or improperly spaced will need to undergo orthodontic treatment to improve dental health and ensure long-term satisfaction with your smile.

5.    Cosmetic treatments
While full mouth reconstructions are largely focused on dental health, we consider the aesthetics of your smile as well. We may recommend tooth bleaching, dental veneers, dental bonding or other procedures to perfect and enhance every millimeter of your smile.
