Reconstructive surgery, also known as Full Mouth Restoration is a term used to indicate to a series of procedures performed to repair any damages in the mouth and jaw. This can include repair of the teeth, gums, jawbone, tongue, lips, and inner cheek. Although the word “Surgery” can incite a nervous feeling in some people, a reconstructive operation can be as easy as placing a crown on a tooth to save the vitality of the tooth rather than extract it. Oral health can become compromised when all parts of the mouth do not work together properly. The mouth is made up of many smaller systems including the hard and soft palate (previously mentioned above), numerous blood vessels and nerves, as well as the tissue that holds everything in place.Listed below we can provide some examples of procedures that if performed in combination, they create a reconstructive dental surgery treatment plan:
- Oral Surgery: extractions, root canals, tissue grafting of hard or soft tissue
- Implant Surgery: missing teeth replacement
- Restorative Care: fillings, bridges, crowns, inlays and onlays
- Periodontal: periodontal surgery, root planning and scaling
- TMJ Treatment: treatment to adjust the bite and correct any issues revolving around the temporomandibular joint.
- Bruxism: correction of teeth grinding
- Orthodontics: Metal braces, Invisalign®, retainers, etc
- Cosmetic: Veneers, teeth bonding, teeth whitening.
Depending upon the extensiveness and level of severity of treatment, anesthesia may be used to comfort the patient and add a sense of calm to the patient’s experience.
Before the treatment, our Coral Springs dentist will perform an exam, check your medical history, take x-rays, and create a treatment plan to address every issue and bring your mouth back to its ideal health.
The cost of a reconstructive surgery is relative to the amount of procedures needing to be performed, if anesthesia will be employed, lab fees to create oral prosthetics, and the materials used. In some cases, patients will need to be referred to a specialist for surgery. For your convenience we have specialist we work closely with and trust to provide excellent quality and care.
