Full Mouth Reconstruction Valencia CA

If you have missing, damaged, or decayed teeth, it can impact more than your appearance — it can also affect your oral health. When teeth or gums have been damaged beyond simple restorations like fillings and crowns, a full mouth reconstruction at Sierra Dental Practice in Valencia, Santa Clarita, can help restore your smile.

What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?

A full mouth reconstruction is a well-rounded treatment plan that involves restoring all or most of the teeth. This procedure is often recommended for our patients with multiple dental issues requiring extensive dental work.

Rather than being one procedure, full mouth reconstruction can include a combination of restorative, cosmetic, and periodontal treatments to address any existing problems and improve your smile’s overall function and appearance.

Common Reasons for Full Mouth Reconstruction

For several reasons, our patients in Valencia, Santa Clarita, might need full mouth reconstruction. These often include:

• Tooth loss: Caused by poor oral hygiene, trauma to the teeth, or injuries, tooth loss can occur due to gum disease and decay.
• Cracked teeth: Fractured or injured teeth may be the outcome of activities such as sports injuries, falls, or biting into hard objects.
• Worn teeth: Severely worn teeth can result from long-term acid erosion from acidic foods and beverages or tooth-grinding habits, which gradually wear down the enamel.

Orthodontic function: Chronic jaw, muscle, or headache pain may require adjustments to the bite (occlusion) to alleviate discomfort and improve oral health.

Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedure in Valencia, Santa Clarita

At Sierra Dental Practice in Valencia, Santa Clarita, our dentists will carefully examine your oral health to determine your full mouth reconstruction roadmap. The process typically begins with a thorough exam and includes X-rays, impressions, and photographs of your teeth.

The specific procedures involved in your full mouth reconstruction can vary depending on your needs. It may include:

• Orthodontics: Braces or aligners may be used to correct misaligned teeth or improper bite. These treatments work by applying gentle pressure to gradually shift the teeth into their proper positions.
• Crowns and Bridges: Crowns and bridges are dental restorations that can repair damaged or decayed teeth. A dental crown is a cap-like structure placed over a damaged tooth, while a dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
• Dental Implants: Dental implants involve surgically placing artificial tooth roots made of titanium into your bone. These implant posts provide a strong and permanent foundation for replacement teeth. Dental implants restore the appearance of missing teeth and function like natural teeth.
• Veneers: Veneers are thin, porcelain shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth. They are designed to improve the color, shape, and size of your teeth. Veneers can address many cosmetic concerns, such as discoloration, chipped teeth, uneven spacing, and minor misalignment.
• Dentures: Dentures are custom-made to fit comfortably and securely and provide improved looks, function, and oral health for patients with multiple missing teeth. Dentures can be either partial or complete, depending on the number of missing teeth and the patient’s specific needs.

Our team will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses all of your dental concerns and goals. We understand that full mouth reconstruction can be a complex and involved process, but we strive to make it as comfortable and stress-free for you as possible.

Are Smile Makeovers and Full Mouth Reconstruction the Same?

While both full mouth reconstruction and smile makeovers aim to improve the appearance of your smile, they are not the same. A smile makeover is mostly cosmetic and aimed at improving the appearance of a smile. On the other hand, full mouth reconstruction is a medical treatment that restores function and health to the mouth, along with improving aesthetics. Full mouth reconstruction is often necessary for our patients to achieve their best overall health.
