Full Mouth Reconstruction
If you’re unhappy with your smile, it can feel automatic to hide your teeth when you’re in a social gathering. Feeling self-conscious about the aesthetics of your teeth can not only drain your self-confidence, but it can stop you from expressing true happiness by worrying if others are judging the look of your smile. If you’ve found yourself hiding your smile in fear of being judged, then perhaps the world of cosmetic dentistry could be an answer. If a patient has unfortunate issues with their smile that may be a bit more complicated than simply replacing a tooth, than perhaps a full mouth reconstruction may be needed. A full mouth reconstruction involves two or more dental cosmetic procedures that work together in unison to provide a completely transformed healthy looking smile.
The first step to transforming your smile is determining what restorative treatment options are needed to upgrade your smile. A consultation with your dentist is needed to construct an individual plan to effectively restore your smile. Whether your main concerns deal with the aesthetics of your mouth, or perhaps you are in need of adjustment for function, there is an answer to all your needs. As a patient entering the full mouth reconstruction process, you must be made aware of the different procedures available that can upgrade your smile. As mentioned above, a combination of two or more of the below procedures can be used in unison to involve the functionality, health, and aesthetics of your smile.
Dental Implants
This is the number one dentist recommended option for replacing missing teeth. This treatment involves surgically inserting a titanium post into the empty tooth root and allow the bone to fuse together with it. Once this process is healed, an abutment is added to the top of the post to act as the foundation for the restorative option. Finally, a tooth restoration is added in the form of a dental crown, dental bridge, dentures or more. This is the only permanent solution for replacing missing teeth.
Dentures
This treatment option is a traditional way to replace the majority of missing teeth temporarily. Many older patients opt for this solution because they may have deteriorating jaw bones that limit them from getting dental implant surgery. Dentures are also a quick and easy way to replace missing teeth without the added commitment. The dentures can be upgraded and changed every 3-8 years to ensure your smile stays stunning.
Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is used to “bridge” the gap between teeth that are missing. A dentist will traditionally use the neighboring teeth as anchors to hold the fabricated tooth in the center of the two teeth, using dental crowns. This is a great way to utilize teeth on either end of the missing tooth to be upgraded with a dental crown if they too are decaying, chipped, or broken as well.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns can repair a multitude of issues regarding your teeth. Patients who have cracked or chipped teeth can add the dental “cap” as an extra layer of protection to stop the further cracking process. A dentist may fill in the cracks first with a dental filling. A dental crown can also be used to anchor a dental bridge to replace a missing tooth.
Dental Fillings
A dental filling is mainly used to fill in cracks in a tooth. A chipped tooth can also be prepared using a dental filling as it can be shaped and cured (hardened) to the dentists desire. A filling is used to fill in the internal shell of a tooth once the pulp has been removed, as in a case of cavities. The filling acts as a weight and added layer of protection to stop the bacteria from spreading as well as preventing the hallowed tooth from chips and cracks.
Orthodontics
Braces or Invisalign is a great way to repair misaligned teeth. If your teeth are separated, too close together, crooked or more, they can be straightened out using orthodontics. A balanced smile can easily be achieved with a few years of customized care using the different treatments available in orthodontics.

Steps For Full Mouth Reconstruction
It takes hours of custom craftwork in the lab for your permanent porcelain veneers to be made. The second appointment is the time now to bond them onto your teeth. After your three-week adjustment period, it’s time to return to Ritter & Ramsey for your second and final appointment, the moment where your smile will be adjusted to fit your desires, permanently. We will personally test and try on to each of your teeth and evaluate the appearance and fit. This also gives you the opportunity to preview the new look for yourself, before any permanent changes have been made. We will then go through several precise steps to bond the thin veneers to the outer surface of your teeth, creating an incredibly strong bond between your tooth and the custom porcelain. A bond so strong, you won’t worry about them sliding off after one too many bites. Minor adjustments to your bite and a final polish to the teeth will leave you with a smile that may have you wondering why you waited so long!
Costs Involved
No dentist will give you a flat rate on your full mouth reconstruction. The cost for your evaluation will depend directly on how many procedures are needed and how complicated the procedures are. Every dentist will charge differently per treatment. It is important to narrow down your search on finding the right dentist for you by ensuring great service and good experience in the procedures you need. Most dentists will provide you with easy payback options to ensure the cost isn’t overwhelming. In some cases, dental insurance can cover partial costs as well.
Contact your dental professional today for a consultation for your full mouth reconstruction procedure. Do not be hesitant in asking questions along the way to ensure you are 100% informed on every procedure, every cost and more. Don’t wait another day and start your smile transformation journey today.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY DENTISTRY SINCE 1994
Traditionally, hours of hand labor in a dental laboratory are invested in these precise products. With the adoption of more technology into dentistry, digital imaging continues to grow in importance. Most restorations begin with a mold of your mouth that involves messy impression materials. With the Itero Digital Scanner, you can say goodbye to the mess. Itero eliminates this step, replacing it with simple digital images captured with a handheld wand. The images quickly appear on a computer monitor as 3-D models of your teeth.
Expert Tooth Restoration Using Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain dental crowns are used to restore dental implants, to secure dental bridges, restore and help repair broken or damaged teeth. Dental crowns can be performed in one visit. The goal with dental crowns is to create a natural looking smile. These types of crowns can add the strength and durability to any tooth with any needed repair. Aesthetically, dental crowns are used to cover a discolored tooth and even narrow the gaps between largely separated teeth.
The Finest Porcelain Veneers for a New Smile
At Ritter & Ramsey, watching patients discover a brilliant new smile is the highlight of our days. Porcelain veneers can transform a smile dramatically. A beautiful new set of porcelain veneers can correct chips, stains, and even deeply discolored teeth. But they can also alter the length and size of teeth, or help teeth that seem rotated appear straight. While it sounds dramatic, only the stunning visual outcome is surprising. Porcelain veneers provide a highly conservative approach to aesthetic smile makeovers.
