Top Signs You Might Be a Candidate for Full Mouth Reconstruction

If you’ve been experiencing ongoing dental issues that alter your ability to chew, speak, or smile confidently, you might be a candidate for full mouth reconstruction. Unlike cosmetic dentistry, which focuses on aesthetics, full mouth reconstruction combines restorative and functional treatments to rebuild your smile. Here are the top signs it might be right for you.

Dr. Louisa Gallegos, DDS, MSD, is a highly skilled prosthodontist with decades of experience in full-mouth reconstruction. Her extensive restorative and prosthetic dentistry background makes her a trusted expert in transforming smiles and improving oral health.

You Have Multiple Damaged or Missing Teeth

Cracked, broken, or missing teeth don’t just affect your smile—they can also lead to bite imbalances, difficulty eating, and jaw pain. Full mouth reconstruction can replace or restore damaged teeth with solutions like crowns, bridges, or implants.

Chronic Jaw or Facial Pain

Persistent jaw, face, or neck discomfort could be a sign of bite misalignment or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Full mouth reconstruction often includes adjusting your bite to reduce strain and alleviate pain.

Advanced Gum Disease

Severe gum disease (periodontitis) can cause tooth loss and damage the surrounding bone. Full mouth reconstruction can address gum disease through scaling, root planing, and other periodontal treatments before rebuilding your smile.

Worn, Eroded, or Decayed Teeth

Years of wear and tear, acid erosion, or untreated cavities can weaken teeth and make them prone to breakage. Treatments like veneers, crowns, or fillings can restore the function and appearance of your teeth.

Difficulty Chewing or Speaking

When your teeth or bite are compromised, everyday activities like eating and speaking become challenging. Full mouth reconstruction restores functionality to enjoy meals and communicate clearly again.

You’ve Experienced Dental Trauma

Accidents or injuries that cause widespread damage to your teeth and jaw often require comprehensive reconstruction to restore oral health.
