Full mouth dental reconstruction is a collection of treatments that can rebuild all of the teeth in your upper and lower arches. The goal is to restore oral health, function, and aesthetics to your smile. Since different patients will benefit from different approaches, you should choose a dental practice skilled in a variety of treatments.

Dental Restorative Group’s prosthodontists have advanced training and years of experience in restorative and aesthetic procedures, including full mouth dental reconstruction. Seniors and other patients in Cambridge, Belmont and throughout Greater Boston rely on our treatments to improve their smile as well as their quality of life.

When You Should Consider Full Mouth Dental Reconstruction

If most or all of your teeth require dental work to improve their function and appearance, you may be a good candidate for full mouth dental reconstruction. Our offices in Cambridge and Belmont can address concerns that include:

  • Decayed, missing, damaged, misshapen, or misaligned teeth
  • Tooth discoloration
  • Teeth that appear too long because of gum recession

Our practice can also repair or replace older dental restorations or prosthetics that have failed. The attention to detail and high-quality materials we use often provide more durable results than the original work.

Full Mouth Dental Reconstruction Procedures

Dental Restorative Group offers several services that can restore the full set of upper and lower teeth.

Dental Implants

With this treatment, your doctor places man-made tooth roots to support new tooth-shaped crowns. If you need full mouth dental reconstruction, your doctor may recommend attaching a full arch of teeth to the implants instead of individual crowns. For some patients, we can use this “full arch” technique with as few as four implants.

Both single crown and full arch approaches can restore the function and appearance of your teeth. Implants also have the benefit of preventing bone resorption: the erosion of bone that can create large gaps in the area of missing teeth. If you have already lost a significant amount of bone, our practice can use bone grafting to reverse these effects.

Dentures

Unlike dental implants, which are permanently attached, dentures are full arches of man-made upper and lower teeth that you can remove from your mouth. Upper dentures typically stay in place with special denture adhesive. Lower dentures connect to two implants in the lower jaw.

Full mouth dental reconstruction patients in Cambridge, Belmont, and Greater Boston may opt for dentures because of the benefits they offer. They tend to be more affordable and require less time to fabricate and place than dental implants. However, they do not provide the full functionality and natural feel of dental implants, and they may not prevent bone resorption.

Crowns, Bridges, and Porcelain Veneers

Some of the patients we treat in Cambridge, Belmont and Greater Boston who require full mouth dental reconstruction have a combination of concerns. They may have missing teeth, damaged teeth, and a few interspersed teeth that are still in good condition. In response, Dental Restorative Group may recommend a collection of aesthetic treatments:

Crowns

Dental crowns are caps that go over broken or damaged teeth to restore their look, feel, and function.

Bridges

Bridges replace missing teeth with a set of connected crowns. The crowns on the ends attach to healthy teeth or implants and “bridge” the gap between them with a false tooth.

Veneers

If only the front surface of a tooth is damaged or if the tooth is misaligned or discolored, a porcelain veneer may be a good option. This man-made shell replaces the front of your tooth, matching the color and appearance of the adjacent teeth.

Gum Grafting and Teeth Whitening

If you notice that some of your teeth appear longer than others, you may be experiencing gum recession. Over time, this condition can cause damage to your teeth and potentially lead to tooth loss. A gum grafting procedure can cover the exposed tooth root and restore the aesthetics of your smile.

Staining is another issue that can affect the appearance of your teeth. To make your smile whiter, brighter, and healthier-looking, Dental Restorative Group provides both in-office and at-home professional whitening systems.
