Full mouth rebuild
Full mouth rebuild - Auckland, St Heliers. Recreating your natural smile.
If you have widespread dental damage, a full mouth rebuild can reconstruct your teeth and the supporting structures.
What is a full mouth rebuild?
Sometimes dental damage is so extensive, it requires treatment on multiple fronts. During a full mouth rebuild, we look holistically at your teeth and gums and the function of your jaw. Then we devise a treatment plan that addresses all your issues together. It may include treating decay, lost or broken teeth, worn teeth, a collapsed bite, malalignments, tissue or bone damaged by periodontal disease, and issues with your temporomandibular joints. Not only will a full mouth rebuild leave you with a whole new, healthy smile, but it can also help address problems with chewing, breathing, and talking.
What do I need to know about a full mouth rebuild?
Your first step towards a full mouth rebuild is to visit us and discuss your current dental issues. We’ll talk about your needs and goals and come up with a treatment plan to achieve the best possible outcome. You may feel anxious or ashamed of the state of your mouth, but we’re here to help, not to judge. As part of your full mouth rebuild, we may recommend treatments such as dental implants, veneers, crowns, dentures, Invisalign®, whitening, root canal therapy, transitional bonding, and replacing your amalgam fillings with composite. At every step, we’ll use minimally invasive techniques and advanced dental technology to ensure you are as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
What other treatments are available?
Depending on your situation, some of the following treatment options might be recommended to transform your smile.
Common questions about full mouth rebuilds
-
If you have severe or complicated dental issues that are negatively affecting your quality of life, then a full mouth rebuild could be right for you. Regardless of whether your problems have been caused by injury, medical conditions, poor oral hygiene, or night-time teeth grinding, we can create a plan that will restore your mouth to full health.
-
The amount of time that a full mouth rebuild takes can vary from a few weeks to many months, depending on what you are having done. Your treatments will need to be done in a specific order, and there may be some healing time required after each one. We’ll let you know an estimated timeline when we discuss your goals and requirements.
-
The procedures used in your full mouth rebuild will vary depending on your unique needs. No two mouth rebuilds are the same. Some treatments will require corrective surgery for your jaw and gums, while others will involve orthodontics, or restorative and cosmetic procedures on your teeth. The goal is to finish with an even, pain-free bite and strong, stable teeth that look fantastic.
-
A full mouth rebuild focuses on function and health, whereas a smile makeover focuses on appearance. However, that doesn’t mean that your smile won’t look great after a full mouth rebuild, as many of our treatments are both cosmetic and corrective. Plus, you can opt to include additional cosmetic treatments to ensure your smile looks just right.
-
Using advanced dental technology and modern anaesthetics, we can ensure that your procedures will be pain free. Our dentists will do everything they can to ensure you are always comfortable and relaxed. Sometimes you might feel a little pressure or tugging, but it should never hurt. Some discomfort is normal during your recovery, but you can usually manage it with simple over-the-counter pain medication.
-
The cost of your full mouth rebuild will depend on the procedures required and the time and materials involved to create a strong, healthy bite. When we go over your individualised treatment plan, we’ll cover all the expected costs and work out a plan of payment that spreads them out over the course of your treatment.
