Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs
The prospect of restoring your entire smile can seem like an overwhelming one, but we’re here to make things easier! If at any point there is something that you don’t understand about the full mouth reconstruction process, just speak up; we’ll be glad to explain anything you need to know. The following FAQs include a number of questions that many patients have regarding full mouth reconstruction. We hope that you find our answers to be informative and useful.
How Long Does a Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedure Take?
The timeline for a full mouth reconstruction can look very different for each patient. Obviously, the specific services that make up the treatment plan can have a significant influence on how long the process ultimately takes. For example, you can typically have a filling placed in just one appointment, but dental implants require multiple visits spread out over a matter of months. On top of that, it may be possible to complete certain procedures at the same time.
Once we have examined your smile and learned more about your situation, we can put together an estimate of the timeline for your full mouth reconstruction so that you can start planning accordingly.
Does Getting a Full Mouth Reconstruction Hurt?
No matter what treatments make up your full mouth reconstruction, steps will be taken to keep any discomfort to a minimum. In many cases, we will use a local anesthetic to numb your mouth; this will help you stay as comfortable as possible during your treatment. Nervous patients may benefit from having some form of sedation administered.
Your mouth may be somewhat sore after specific procedures. To help you manage your discomfort, we may give you some aftercare instructions, such as only eating soft foods for a certain amount of time.
How Long Will My Full Mouth Reconstruction Results Last?
The answer to this question can vary from patient to patient. That being said, the kind of maintenance you give your new smile is a major factor in determining how long it lasts. To protect the results of your full mouth reconstruction, be sure to:
- Maintain good oral hygiene habits such as brushing twice a day.
- Stay away from hard foods that can damage dental restorations.
- Break bad habits such as using tobacco or chewing your fingernails.
- Visit your dentist every six months so that they can check your smile for problems.
Will People Be Able to Tell That I Had a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Someone meeting you for the first time likely won’t be able to tell that you had a full mouth reconstruction performed. Our team will focus on making the results of your treatment as lifelike as possible so that you can show off your new grin without hesitation.
Some full mouth reconstructions result in a dramatic shift in appearance; others involve more subtle improvements. If you have a preference for how noticeable you want the changes to be, please let us know during your initial consultation.
