The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process

When our Denver dental office has all of the pertinent information, we can create the ideal arrangement of services for restoring your smile. This could include preventive services, cosmetic treatment options, or restorative solutions depending on your unique needs.

Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs
How Long Does a Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedure Take?
When meeting with Dr. Walker for your initial consultation, she will consider the following factors before determining how long your procedure will take:
- How many teeth need to be treated?
- Which services are required to ensure you meet your smile goals?
- Will the procedures take place at the same time, or will they need to be completed consecutively?
This last consideration can often be the clearest indicator of the timeframe. While a root canal and dental crown placement only need a few weeks to be considered complete, orthodontics and other similar complex procedures require months or even a year or more.
It’s important that you mention any major events you have coming up when meeting with Dr. Walker. She will keep this in mind when building your treatment plan.
Can I Get a Full Mouth Reconstruction if I Smoke?
Every full mouth reconstruction in Denver is different, so whether you can pursue treatment is ultimately up to Dr. Walker. Smoking does not necessarily disqualify you; however, you will be required to give up the habit before and after certain procedures. The reason is that smoking and tobacco products make it difficult for your mouth to heal properly. As a result, the chances of complications increase (i.e., dental implant failure).
If you want to quit smoking but are unsure where to turn, talk to your local primary care physician, who can provide cessation resources.
I’ve Had a Full Mouth Reconstruction – Is There Anything I Can’t Eat?
Immediately following surgery, you will need to eat primarily soft foods, such as yogurt, eggs, mashed potatoes, etc. After your mouth heals, you will be free to eat all your favorite foods. The best part is that many of the services we provide produce highly durable restorations, so you can enjoy a strong bite and a beautiful smile all at once!
The one thing you will need to keep in mind is that cavity-causing foods, such as candy, potato chips, soda, etc., can cause problems for your new smile, so practice moderation and drink lots of water.
How Do I Care for My Smile After Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Following your full mouth reconstruction, you must commit to taking proper care of your smile. This is essential if you want to ensure it stays in the best possible condition.
You will need to adopt a good oral hygiene routine that you follow each day, one that includes brushing for two minutes, twice a day, flossing at least once a day, and rinsing with an antimicrobial mouthwash. You’ll also need to mind your diet; choose healthier options and avoid lots of sugars and starches.
There are bad habits you will need to give up as well, including eating ice, opening packages with your teeth, chewing on pens and pencils, and smoking.
One of the most pivotal components is making sure you keep your six-month dental checkups and cleanings with our office. This allows Dr. Walker to closely monitor your oral health and ensure your new smile is looking great, working well, and continuing to deliver the healthy, beautiful results you deserve.
