Do You Need a Full Mouth Reconstruction Surgery?
Everybody dreams of having that perfect smile with the perfect set of white teeth. However, few people can sincerely say that they are satisfied with the state of their teeth, bite, and other aspects of their smile. If you feel that there are more than two aspects of your smile that you would like to change, perhaps you should consider full mouth reconstruction surgery. Here are the questions that you need to ask:
Am I a Candidate for a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
You may qualify for full mouth reconstruction if your teeth have been damaged beyond individual repair and restoration. For instance, if you have lost more than six teeth to decay or your teeth are fractured and injured. You may also qualify if your teeth are excessively worn out. Other people that qualify for FMR include those with persistent jaw pains, muscle, and headaches as a result of occlusions.
What Kind of Procedures Might be Involved?
The specific procedures that you undergo will depend on your specific problem. They could include getting crowns, bridges, and veneers. For instance, teeth whitening will be performed on stained teeth. Bridges will help restore lost teeth while veneers will cover up chipped and broken teeth. If the damage is more extensive, an oral surgeon, endodontist, or orthodontist might be involved in the procedures. An orthodontist corrects the bite and tooth movements while the endodontist deals with problems affecting the tooth pulp.
How Much Does the Procedure Cost?
A full smile makeover involves several procedures. The cost will depend on the procedures. If oral surgery is involved, the procedure might cost as much as $30,000 and even more. However, this is a reasonable price to pay for that perfect smile.
Healing and Recovery
The recovery time after a full mouth reconstruction depends on the procedures that we perform. The crucial thing is to follow the dentists’ instructions when cleaning the teeth to avoid infections.
