Full Mouth Reconstruction.



Full mouth reconstruction combines multiple restorative, neuromuscular and cosmetic procedures. The goal is to restore not only the look of your teeth but also the structure and function. Why? Each of these things affects the other. For example, a broken tooth can cause a problem with your bite. This can lead to difficulty chewing, which creates wear on your teeth. This wear can then lead to jaw and neck soreness, headaches, even migraines. 

Who Needs It?
There are several reasons why your teeth might be in bad shape, including neglect, injury, chronic illness, anxiety among others.   Teeth worn down and compromised by dental disease require replacement. Full mouth restoration may be recommended if you:
- Have several worn down, chipped or broken teeth
- Have missing teeth
- Experience chronic jaw pain, clicking or popping of the jaw
- Have frequent headaches, back pain and muscle tenderness
If you are a candidate for mouth reconstruction, you will begin with an evaluation to figure out specifically what procedures you'll need. 

What Treatments Are Involved?
Each full mouth reconstruction is unique. The health of your teeth, gums and jaw is evaluated. The overall look of your teeth is the final consideration in developing your dental treatment plan. A panel of dental specialists may be involved in the treatment planning for more predictable and exciting treatment outcomes.
Full mouth reconstruction will involve several treatments. Depending on your specific situation, one or more of the following treatments may be recommended.
Dental scaling and root planning to restore gingival health, tooth filling and root canal to alleviate pain and progression of tooth decay,  Crowns, veneers and other lab processed restorations for rebuilding teeth, bite correction with orthodontic braces, whitening for a whiter, brighter smile and implants for mechanical rebuilding of missing tooth or teeth.

Digital Radiographs (X rays)

Digital Radiography is a high tech replacement for traditional dental X rays.

 Thanks to modern upgrades in dental technology, patients receive dental treatment  without the pain and time associated with traditional dentistry.

With digital radiography, a sensor is inserted into the mouth to capture images of the teeth.  The image captured is projected on a screen for immediate viewing without the waiting  associated traditional film developing.

Once projected on the screen, images can be enlarged, magnified for more accurate diagnosing of hard to see lesions.  The same images can be electronically transferred to specialists and other health care facilities without duplicating procedures.

Another benefit to digital radiation techniques is a significant reduction of radiation exposure, a significant health benefit to those with radiation  exposure concerns. Digital X rays use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X rays

Digital x rays are also better for the environment because there are no harmful chemicals involved in their processing.

"Although it requires a sizable initial investment in equipment, more than 50% of the dental offices in USA have adopted digital radiography because of the added safety and time saving features," says Dr. Cherukuri from her Chino, California dental practice.
