Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs
How Long Does a Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedure Take?
A full mouth reconstruction timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the procedures and your specific needs. Generally, the process can take several months to over a year.
First, we’ll conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, impressions, and digital scans, to create a treatment plan. Depending on the plan, you may need treatments like crowns, bridges, dental implants, or orthodontics. Some procedures, like dental implants, require healing time between stages, often 3 to 6 months.
For simpler cases, where fewer teeth need reconstruction, the process may be quicker, possibly 4 to 6 months. For more extensive work, especially if multiple surgeries are involved, the timeline can extend. Throughout the process, we’ll make sure you understand each step and keep your comfort in mind.
How Long Will My Full Mouth Reconstruction Results Last?
The results of a full mouth reconstruction can last for many years, often 10 to 20 years or more, with proper care. The longevity depends on factors like the type of treatments you receive, the materials used, and how well you maintain your oral health afterward.
High-quality materials like porcelain crowns or dental implants are designed to be durable and withstand the wear and tear of daily use. However, it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene, attend regular dental checkups, and avoid habits like teeth grinding or using your teeth to open things, as these can shorten the lifespan of your restorations.
With consistent care, the investment in a full mouth reconstruction can give you a long-lasting, healthy, and functional smile.
Does Getting a Full Mouth Reconstruction Hurt?
While the idea of a full mouth reconstruction might sound painful, the procedures involved are typically done with your comfort in mind. We use local anesthesia to numb the areas being treated, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedures themselves. For more complex surgeries, sedation options like IV sedation or general anesthesia may be available to help you relax.
After the procedures, it's normal to experience some discomfort, swelling, or sensitivity, especially with surgeries like dental implants or gum treatments. We’ll provide pain medication and aftercare instructions to manage any post-treatment discomfort. Most patients find that any pain is manageable and short-lived, and the long-term benefits of a full mouth reconstruction far outweigh the temporary discomfort. We’ll work with you to ensure a smooth, comfortable experience throughout.
Can I Get a Full Mouth Reconstruction if I Smoke?
Yes, you can get a full mouth reconstruction if you smoke, but it’s important to understand that smoking can impact the success and longevity of your treatments. Smoking impairs healing by reducing blood flow to your gums and increasing the risk of infection. This is particularly concerning for procedures like dental implants, where proper healing of the bone and gums is essential for long-term success.
We’ll likely advise you to quit smoking or at least reduce it, especially during the healing phases, to maximize your reconstruction’s effectiveness. Smoking can also accelerate gum disease and contribute to staining, which may affect the overall results. Quitting, even temporarily, can significantly improve the outcomes and durability of your full mouth reconstruction.
