Is a Full Mouth Restoration Right for Me?
Are you suffering from complex dental problems? Does the state of your smile often force you to avoid certain foods? Are you reluctant about showing off your grin due to multiple missing teeth?
Answering yes to any of the questions above may be a sign that you could benefit from a full mouth restoration. The process is meant to address the issues in your mouth that are preventing your smile from functioning as it should. Not only can this help you feel more confident, but it can also lead to a stronger bite and other benefits that can change your life for the better.
The Full Mouth Restoration Process
Your needs may not be exactly the same as another patient’s, so we’ll have to customize your full mouth restoration based on the specifics of your situation. At the beginning of the process, you’ll visit us for a consultation; we’ll ask you questions in order to get a picture of what you’re trying to achieve with your smile, and we’ll perform a thorough evaluation of your mouth. After that, we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan.
The procedures that make up the full mouth restoration process can vary. Oftentimes, it may involve extracting severely damaged teeth and replacing them from the roots up with reliable dental implants. Other procedures such as bone grafts and sinus lifts may also be needed depending on the damage done as well as how severe it is.
Understanding the Cost of a Full Mouth Restoration
The procedures that make up your full mouth restoration plan will all contribute to the amount that you ultimately end up paying. The overall cost can vary, but we can give you a reliable estimate once we have examined your mouth and figured out what your needs are.
Our team is happy to provide options for making your full mouth restoration more affordable. For instance, we are in-network with a wide variety of dental and medical insurance plans. Additionally, we accept CareCredit financing, allowing you to pay for your care in monthly installments with little or even no interest attached.
Full Mouth Restorations FAQs
Before you take the first steps of a full mouth restoration, you should make sure that you understand the process and what you can expect during the treatments involved. You will have the chance to ask any questions that are on your mind when you visit us for your initial consultation. That said, you can also check the FAQs below to see our helpful responses to a number of inquiries that patients tend to have about full mouth restorations.
Does Getting a Full Mouth Restoration Hurt?
The full mouth restoration process can potentially involve a wide variety of complex procedures. In many cases, we will need to apply a local anesthetic to your mouth before performing certain treatments; this is to help you stay as comfortable as possible. Sedation may also be administered to help you stay relaxed.
Following your treatment, you will be given aftercare instructions that can help you keep any soreness under control. For example, you may be told to maintain a diet of soft foods for a while. On top of that, it may be necessary to spend some time resting at home.
How Do I Care for My Smile After a Full Mouth Restoration?
No matter what kind of treatment you receive as part of your full mouth restoration, protecting your newly revitalized smile will require good oral hygiene. It’s important to make a point of brushing at least two times a day for two minutes at a time; you should also add flossing to your oral hygiene routine if you haven’t already. If you have any bad habits that can damage your teeth (such as tearing open packages with your mouth), you should focus on breaking them before they can lead to any serious consequences.
Can I Get a Full Mouth Restoration If I Smoke?
Smoking has an adverse effect on the healing process inside your mouth, which can affect the chances of problems occurring after a full mouth restoration. That being said, smoking doesn’t have to prevent you from undergoing the process; our team may still find that you’re a viable candidate after examining your mouth. You will need to stay away from tobacco products for a certain amount of time before and after specific treatments. If you’re having trouble giving up cigarettes, talk to your primary doctor to see what they suggest.
I’ve Had a Full Mouth Restoration – Is There Anything I Can’t Eat?
Following your oral surgery, you will most likely need to avoid hard or crunchy foods for a while. You should plan on eating yogurt, scrambled eggs, and other soft options during the recovery process. Once healing is complete, you should be able to return to a normal diet again. Notably, if you had your missing teeth replaced by dental implants, you will be able to eat virtually anything you want thanks to the strength and stability provided by the posts.
