am i a candidate for full-mouth reconstruction?
You may require full-mouth reconstruction if you've lost some teeth or have many teeth with large fillings that need replacement. You might also have teeth with widespread decay or teeth that are cracked, broken, or badly worn down because of bruxism (persistent teeth grinding). You may have dental ailments or even a hereditary disorder, like ectodermal dysplasia (teeth that never develop). In addition, we see patients with abnormally small teeth or excessive gum growth, both of which require specialized treatment. You might choose to replace older crowns, or just want to enhance your mouth for better comfort or health. In more complex cases, your degraded gums and teeth might have caused a visible facial deformity, like sunken cheeks. Full-mouth reconstruction may revive the whole face once the issues are corrected and your treatment plan completed.
