Full Mouth Reconstruction Health Benefits

There are many benefits to a full mouth reconstruction; this blog will focus on the benefits to your overall health. However, before learning about the benefits for your overall health, it is important to understand why and how reconstruction is done.

What is a full mouth reconstruction?

Full mouth reconstruction means different things for different patients. This procedure is designed to customize a specific plan that will take care of all your dental needs. This helps you find and plan a course of treatment, so you know you’re on your way to having a healthier mouth and a better smile. Since every reconstruction is different because it is tailored to each individual patient, the experience can vary greatly.

When looking at treatment options, your dentist will usually focus on a few key areas, including veneers, dental implants, dentures, bridges, crowns, periodontal therapy, neuromuscular dentistry, teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, and resin restorations. Your dentist may recommend any or all the above procedures, depending on your needs. It can be a long process, but in the end, you will know your oral health has been improved, and you’re likely to feel a boost in confidence and satisfaction.

When to consider reconstruction

Mouth reconstruction is not the right solution for every patient. For example, if you only need a filling or have problems with just a section of your teeth, there would be no point in reconstructing your entire mouth. However, if you have significant tooth decay, damage, or alignment problems, then you may benefit from a mouth reconstruction. Those with periodontal disease are often prime candidates for full reconstruction. Many patients with periodontal disease get a mouth reconstruction to help restore their gums to their proper health and increase the gum height. Severe periodontal disease can also cause alignment issues or even tooth loss, which may result in the need for dental implants or dentures. Many patients also opt to include teeth whitening in their reconstruction plan.

The benefits

There are many benefits to reconstruction. Despite the many different treatment plans that exist, these are the most reported benefits: improved oral health, stronger dental structure, and improved overall health.

Improvement in oral health is often one of the biggest reasons for improving and maintaining good oral health. Full mouth reconstruction can fix many issues and infections. By correcting these issues, you improve the future of your oral health. For example, patients who have their teeth straightened have an easier time cleaning their teeth and are less likely to develop cavities and tooth decay.

Having teeth that are aligned properly and having a healthy bone structure can help maintain your teeth over time. When teeth are misaligned or missing, the neighboring teeth can be affected as well. In severe cases, this can lead to a domino effect that affects your whole mouth.

Finally, a full-mouth restoration can improve your overall health. Having a clean and healthy mouth is generally a sign of good overall health. If the immune system is occupied with fighting infections in your mouth, it may be caught off guard if another infection enters the body. Poor oral health can lead to a higher risk of type II diabetes and heart disease.
