Comprehensive Full Mouth Reconstruction in La Jolla
If you are struggling with multiple dental issues affecting your oral health, function, and confidence, Full Mouth Reconstruction at La Jolla Dental Wellness Center can help you achieve a fully restored, healthy, and beautiful smile. Whether you suffer from worn, damaged, missing, or misaligned teeth, our personalized treatment approach ensures that your unique dental needs are met with precision and care.
What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full Mouth Reconstruction (FMR) is a comprehensive, customized treatment plan that combines restorative, cosmetic, and functional dental procedures to rebuild and rejuvenate your smile. It is ideal for patients who need extensive dental work due to severe decay, gum disease, bite issues, trauma, or years of wear and tear.
Unlike a single cosmetic treatment, Full Mouth Reconstruction focuses on restoring your entire mouth’s function and aesthetics through a combination of crowns, bridges, veneers, dental implants, and orthodontic solutions.
Who Needs Full Mouth Reconstruction?
You may benefit from Full Mouth Reconstruction if you experience:
- ~ Severely worn or eroded teeth due to grinding (bruxism) or acid erosion.
- ~ Multiple missing teeth, leading to difficulty in chewing and speaking.
- ~ Cracked, broken, or fractured teeth due to trauma or decay.
- ~ Bite misalignment (malocclusion) causing jaw pain or TMJ disorders.
- ~ Chronic gum disease or infections impacting the health of your teeth and gums.
- ~ Extensive cavities or failing dental work that require full-mouth restoration.
