What does full mouth reconstruction involve?
Dr. Hu will carefully evaluate your needs, performing a thorough exam, taking digital scans, and x-rays. He’ll talk to you about your oral health goals and recommend options to help you achieve them. Your reconstruction plan may include:
- Crowns, fillings, and onlays
- Bridges and dental implants
- Dentures or partials
- Root canal therapy
- Gum disease treatment
- Tooth extraction
- Invisalign® clear aligners
- Occlusal guards to protect teeth from grinding
How long does full mouth reconstruction take?
Treatment times vary significantly depending on each patient’s needs. Dr. Hu plans treatments in phases, typically addressing the most urgent issues first. Some treatments must happen in a specific order; for example, we need to control gum disease before placing crowns or implants.
Is full mouth reconstruction painful?
We perform each procedure under local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Recovery is different for everyone, and you may experience some lingering soreness after certain procedures. Dr. Hu provides pain management guidance, and sedation options are available for patients with dental anxiety.
Years of dental problems, severe wear from grinding, or extensive decay can leave your teeth damaged and you feeling disappointed in your oral health. You don't feel much like smiling, it hurts to chew, and your mouth simply doesn't work the way it should.
