Smile Makeover Dunmore PA

Full Mouth Reconstruction Treatment

A Smile Makeover (or full mouth reconstruction) refers to the process of completely restoring all of the teeth in your mouth.

Full mouth reconstruction is needed when:

• Teeth have been lost
• Teeth have been injured or fractured
• Teeth have become worn as a result of acid-erosion

Procedures Involved in a Smile Makeover

Every patient’s needs are different and, therefore, require different procedures. Usually, full mouth reconstruction requires multiple office visits and some amount of healing time. Dr. Kristen Frantz will determine which procedure or combination of procedures is necessary to restore and rebuild your perfect smile. Dr. Frantz will also refer you to other dental specialists if needed.

Some options include:

• Teeth cleaning (prophylaxis)
• Crown lengthening to prepare tooth structure for possible crowns or bridges
• Contouring of the gum tissue
• Reduction of natural tooth structure to prepare for crowns, bridges, and veneers
• Placement of temporary restorations to get you used to your new teeth or bite adjustment
• Placement of permanent restorations such as dental crowns, porcelain veneers, inlays/onlays, or dental bridges
• Braces to move teeth into the ideal position for reconstruction
• Bone grafting or gum grafting to increase the stability of your teeth or dental implants
