Prosthodontics

The amount of treatment required to restore full mouth health varies for each patient. Extensive dental damage typically requires more therapy and a longer duration, while minor issues can be resolved much more quickly.

Naturally, different reconstructive procedures will vary in duration and scope. A dental implant, for example, involves a two-phase process with a six-month time lag in between stages. You can discuss the period of time your reconstructive surgery will require with your dentist.

Examination:

The full mouth reconstruction procedure begins with a thorough dental examination to assess the patient’s oral health, which includes the periodontal tissue, jaw muscles, the colour, shape, and size of the teeth. X-rays, photographs, and impressions of the teeth will also be taken with the help of a periodontist or orthodontist.

Cleaning:

Before any reconstructive treatments can commence, the teeth must first be cleaned. The dentist begins by cleaning the healthy teeth, before moving onto the infected or damaged tooth. The gums will also be checked for gum disease. Gum disease must be treated before the full mouth construction goes ahead.

Reconstruction:

• Dental implants are used to restore damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. Dental implants are often essential for full mouth rehabilitation. Implants are titanium screws placed into the jawbone. They function as the tooth root and provide a lifetime of strength and support for the replacement crown. Implants restore full performance and allow for comfortable biting and chewing.
• Dental crowns (or caps) fit over injured or infected teeth to restore strength and shape. Crowns are strong and permanent restorations which also enhance appearance. They mimic the enamel of natural teeth for an attractive and realistic finish.
• Porcelain veneers are the perfect solution to many dental imperfections, such as crooked, discoloured and chipped teeth. They are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of porcelain bonded to the front surface of the teeth. Depending on your preferences, porcelain veneers can be made to whiten your teeth or to match the existing shade or your enamel.

• An attractive smile — full mouth reconstruction surgery can straighten crooked or misaligned teeth, whiten discoloured or yellow teeth, and even out gaps or gummy smiles.
• Healthy teeth and gums — free from tooth decay and gum disease.
• Improved confidence and self-esteem — your teeth will look and feel better!
• A fully functioning set of teeth — you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
• Full chewing capacity — there’s no need to avoid hard or chewy foods. Get ready to enjoy a varied and nutritious diet!
• No more dental complications or imperfections — missing, broken, damaged, infected, and crooked teeth are fully restored!
• Improved quality of life — a beautiful smile and good dental health can help the way you feel about yourself and your life. It can even improve your relationships with friends and family.

Regarding total reconstruction, the exact cost of your treatment is dependent upon the measure of your treatment. Complete restorative work could cost a lot. The number of techniques to be used, the materials being used, and the replacements for the teeth themselves can all add up to the cost.

Exact figures of the full mouth reconstruction cost in the UK can range from £ 20,000 up to £ 50,000.
