At Avanti Dentistry in Tysons, Virginia, we understand that dental trauma or damage can be overwhelming. If you have experienced a sudden injury or have had long-standing issues affecting your smile, full mouth reconstruction treatments might feel like a big step. Our team is here to help, and below are just a few of the most frequently asked questions we hear about full mouth reconstruction and restorations at our office:

What is full mouth reconstruction?

Full mouth reconstruction is described as a full makeover for your smile. It’s a tailored treatment plan that incorporates multiple restorative procedures to repair or rebuild your smile after significant dental trauma or damage. It addresses both aesthetics and functionality, making your smile look great while ensuring you can bite, chew, and speak comfortably.

What kind of dental trauma might require a patient to consider full mouth reconstruction?

Accidents happen, and dental trauma ranges greatly from chipped or cracked teeth to more severe injuries like knocked-out teeth or significant jaw damage. Full mouth reconstruction is often recommended for issues such as fractured teeth, extensive decay, worn enamel, or even bite misalignment caused by years of grinding. We explore every option to help restore your smile with care and compassion at our office.

What treatments are included in a full mouth reconstruction?

Each case is unique. Common procedures might include dental crowns, bridges, veneers, dental implants, and even orthodontics or gum treatments. Our dental team works directly with you to create a personalized game plan that addresses your specific needs and goals. The result is a fully functional and beautifully restored smile that you can be proud to show off!

How long does it take to complete the process?

Full mouth reconstruction is more of a marathon than a sprint. The timeline varies from patient to patient depending on the complexity of one’s needs. Some of our patients may complete their treatment in a few months, while others may require more time for healing between treatments.
