Full-Mouth Reconstruction
 A full-mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive dental solution designed for individuals dealing with severe dental issues. Whether you’re missing multiple teeth, have significant damage, or suffer from functional problems, full-mouth reconstruction aims to restore both the aesthetics and functionality of your smile. At Stansell Dentistry Associates, we specialize in creating personalized treatment plans that combine a variety of dental procedures to achieve optimal results.
What is Full-Mouth Reconstruction?
Full-mouth reconstruction is a complete dental restoration designed to restore both the functionality and appearance of your teeth and gums. It involves a customized plan that may combine different procedures, including dental implants, dental crowns, dental bridges, and sometimes dentures, depending on your individual needs.
This type of treatment is often necessary for patients with severe dental issues such as widespread tooth decay, tooth loss, or jawbone damage. Unlike a smile makeover, which focuses on aesthetics alone, full-mouth reconstruction addresses both functional and aesthetic needs, ensuring that your new smile will not only look great but also support your overall oral health.
