Learn how we re-establish beautiful smiles with Dr. Amelia Aristodemo’s full mouth reconstruction options, tailored to your unique dental needs, in this informative video.
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive approach to dental care that addresses the needs of individuals looking to significantly improve their oral health, function, and aesthetics. This process is suitable for a wide range of candidates, including those with extensive dental issues, such as:
- Severe tooth decay or tooth loss
- Significant wear and tear on teeth from bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Oral trauma resulting in damaged or lost teeth
- Advanced periodontal disease
- Congenital conditions affecting teeth
To determine if you are a candidate for full mouth reconstruction, the first step is a thorough evaluation process, which includes:
- Comprehensive Exam: Assessing the overall health of your gums and teeth to identify any underlying issues that need to be addressed.
- X-Rays: Taking necessary radiographs to evaluate the condition of your teeth, roots, and jawbone.
- Intraoral Photos: Capturing detailed images of your teeth and gums to aid in planning and documenting the treatment process.
- Diagnostic Models: Creating models of your teeth from impressions to analyze your bite and plan restorative procedures accurately.
- Medical History Review: Understanding your overall health and any medical conditions that may impact dental treatment.
- Discussion of Needs and Wants: Documenting your specific concerns, desires, and goals for your dental health and appearance.
Following this evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is developed, tailored to address your unique needs and goals. This plan is thoroughly reviewed with you, ensuring you understand each step of the proposed treatment and are comfortable with the approach.
The decision on how to proceed with treatment ultimately rests with you, the patient. Our role is to provide professional guidance, options, and support throughout the decision-making process.
