Full mouth reconstruction refers to a comprehensive series of dental procedures aimed at completely restoring not just the aesthetics of the teeth and gums, but their function and health as well. This intensive treatment plan is tailored to individual needs and may involve a variety of dental specialties, including periodontics, orthodontics, endodontics, and prosthodontics. The goal is to address and correct multiple issues such as tooth loss, severe wear, dental diseases, and jaw misalignment, enhancing both oral health and overall appearance.

Each full mouth reconstruction is unique, based on the specific dental health needs and aesthetic desires of the patient. Typically, the process begins with a thorough evaluation, including X-rays, digital scans, and sometimes 3D imaging, to assess the extent of damage and plan the necessary procedures. Treatments may include dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, and orthodontic alignments, among others, all designed to work together to rebuild or restore all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws.

Oral surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at addressing issues related to the mouth, teeth, gums, and jaw. These procedures are typically more complex than routine dental work and may require specialized training in oral and maxillofacial surgery. One common type of oral surgery is the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, which involves extracting teeth that are trapped under the gums and can lead to infection, pain, or misalignment of surrounding teeth. Another common procedure is dental implant surgery, where artificial teeth roots are inserted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth.

Oral surgery also includes procedures that address jaw misalignments, such as corrective jaw surgery (also called orthognathic surgery), which helps in realigning the jaw to improve both functionality and appearance. Additionally, surgeries to treat oral cancers, cysts, or tumors, as well as biopsies to detect abnormal growths, are included under oral surgery. Another common procedure is bone grafting, often used before placing dental implants, to ensure there is enough bone density to secure the implant. Lastly, surgeries to treat severe gum disease, such as flap surgery or gum grafts, are also part of oral surgery. These procedures aim to restore both function and aesthetic appearance to the oral cavity, ensuring better oral health and quality of life.
