Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs
How Long Does a Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedure Take?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question because the various treatments that can potentially make up a full mouth reconstruction plan all have their own timelines to consider. For example, treating a cavity with a filling often takes just one visit, but replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant can take months. It’s also worth noting that it may sometimes be possible to complete multiple treatments during a single visit.
At your initial consultation, we can give you a reliable estimate of how long you can expect the full mouth reconstruction process to take. Please let us know if there’s an upcoming event that you want to prepare your smile for; we can take that information into account when putting together your treatment plan.
Does Getting a Full Mouth Reconstruction Hurt?
Our team deeply cares about making sure that our patients are able to enjoy a comfortable, stress-free dental experience. As such, if your full mouth reconstruction plan calls for a potentially complex type of treatment, we may administer a local anesthetic to ensure that there isn’t any discomfort.
After certain procedures, you may notice some soreness in your mouth. It should eventually go away on its own, but until then, you should follow any aftercare instructions provided by our team in order to keep your discomfort under control. This may include maintaining a diet of soft foods, staying away from any particularly hot beverages, and giving yourself plenty of time to rest.
How Long Will My Full Mouth Reconstruction Results Last?
The answer to this question can vary depending on the treatments involved. For example, dental fillings often last around 7 to 10 years while dental crowns can potentially have lifespans of 15 years or longer. Dental implants are particularly notable for their longevity, as they can last for decades or even the rest of the patient’s life.
If you want your full mouth reconstruction results to last as long as possible, you need to take excellent care of your smile. This means brushing and flossing at least two times a day, limiting your intake of sugary foods that can cause cavities, and regularly visiting your dentist for checkups and cleanings.
Can I Get a Full Mouth Reconstruction if I Smoke?
This is something you will need to discuss with your dentist. In some cases, you may be able to qualify for a full mouth reconstruction even if you smoke. That said, it should be noted that cigarettes and other tobacco products can have a negative impact on your mouth’s ability to heal.
To stay on the safe side, it’s typically recommended that you avoid smoking in the weeks before and after your treatment. If you need help breaking your smoking habit, talk to your primary care physician to see what they recommend.
