Full Reconstruction
Before
After
People who have many missing teeth or severe deterioration of most teeth may require a full mouth reconstruction using a combination of restorations – veneers, crowns, bridges, dental implants or partial dentures. The oral cavity is a dynamic environment where changes constantly occur, sometimes quickly but more often slowly over time. Changes can be due to a traumatic accident, periodontal disease, shifting teeth, a lifetime of neglect, a destructive habit such as grinding, or a lifetime of dentistry focusing on one tooth at a time and leaving the mouth resembling a patchwork quilt.
Full-mouth reconstruction draws on all the skills and expertise of the Prosthodontist. Multi-disciplinary treatment is used to restore a broken down mouth to pristine condition. The aim is to reduce the need for future dentistry, improve the lifespan of the teeth and rejuvenate the smile.
Reconstruction 1
This patient had many old failing restoration and missing teeth. Treatment involved extracting the hopeless teeth and augmenting the bone to allow for implant placement.
Thirteen implants were spaced throughout the upper and lower arches, which provided the platform for a stable and comfortable bite. Veneers, crown and bridges were used to restore the remaining natural teeth and the implants.

Reconstruction 2
Old crowns and bridges were beginning to breakdown and looked quite artificial. This patient wanted teeth that were nice, yet still looked natural. The poor bite was successfully improved with orthodontic braces on the lower teeth and the teeth were restored with new crowns, bridges and veneers.
