What to Expect During the Full Mouth Reconstruction Process
Before you undergo full mouth reconstruction, we will do a thorough examination of your mouth, including your teeth, gums, jaw, and palate. We will take dental x-rays and dental impressions. We will go over your health history, lifestyle, past dental procedures, allergies, and any medications you’re taking. We will then determine if you are a good candidate for full mouth reconstruction. If you are, we will design a highly individualized treatment program tailored to your needs, health, and goals. We will go over the details of each procedure with you so that you know how to prepare and what to expect before, during, and after your procedures.
