FAQs On Full-Mouth Reconstruction
Full-mouth reconstruction is a serious commitment. The team at Perfect White Smiles in Beverly Hills wants to be sure that you understand this process. We will be more than happy to discuss your questions and/or concerns at any time. Below are some of the most common questions that we’ve gotten.
What is the difference between full-mouth rehabilitation and reconstruction?
While the two are just two terms for the same procedure, there are some slight differences between full-mouth reconstruction and full-mouth rehabilitation.
A full-mouth reconstruction focuses on improving your oral health to improve your confidence, diet, and lifestyle. A full-mouth rehabilitation addresses everything about your smile from the structure of your teeth to gum tissue.
How much does a full mouth restoration cost in the US?
Full-mouth restoration cost in the United States depends on a variety of factors including:
- Procedures required
- Training of the dental professional
- Location of the dental clinic
- Dental insurance coverage
The best way to find out the actual cost for your full-mouth reconstruction is to schedule a consultation to determine what you need to have done to get your smile back.
How long does a full mouth rehabilitation take?
This entirely depends on the procedures that you need and your body’s ability to heal. In some cases, procedures can overlap- but in other cases, your mouth will need to heal before another procedure can be done.
In addition, you and your dentist may choose to spread treatments out over time in a more budget-friendly way.
Is full mouth restoration painful?
In the past, many of the procedures involved in full-mouth restoration could be somewhat painful. This is why so many people ignored their dental issues. However, thanks to advancements in dental technology and anesthesia, you should not have any pain during the procedures. You may feel some pressure, but it should not be painful. However, we do have sedation options if you are concerned about discomfort.
When the anesthesia wears off and throughout the healing process, you may experience some discomfort- but this should resolve fairly quickly. Typically, any discomfort can be treated with OTC pain relievers.
What is the difference between a smile makeover and a full mouth reconstruction?
A smile makeover is an elective procedure. The primary focus of a smile makeover is the appearance of your smile. The procedures included in a smile makeover are typically cosmetic.
A full-mouth reconstruction is needed. A full-mouth reconstruction, on the other hand, focuses both on appearance and functionality. The procedures involved in this process improve your diet, lifestyle, and confidence.
What is full mouth restoration treatment?
Full-mouth restoration is the process of using a combination of general, cosmetic, and restorative procedures to improve the appearance and functionality of your smile. This may include dental fillings, dental implants, gum disease treatment, and a variety of other procedures.
