A Full Mouth Reconstruction Helps You Restore Your Oral Health

A full mouth reconstruction might be exactly what you need if you find yourself dealing with a bunch of oral issues. It is done to repair damaged teeth and restore their function. Doing so usually leads to improved aesthetics and a healthier-looking smile.

How full mouth reconstruction improves oral health

There are no good reasons to hold off getting the treatments that you need if you have damaged teeth. It typically leads to the problem getting worse, as well as higher dental bills. Here are a few ways that getting a full mouth reconstruction improves your oral health.

1. Prevents new issues from developing

Many dental issues lead to discomfort and toothaches, but the problems do not stop there. A dental problem that is left untreated will continue to get worse. It can also lead to the development of new, more expensive problems. For example, teeth with eroded enamel are more susceptible to tooth decay. Not getting them treated immediately can lead to the formation of a cavity. An untreated cavity will eventually require a root canal or lead to the loss of the tooth.

2. Saves money

As a general rule, the longer that a patient waits to have a dental issue fixed, the more expensive their treatments become. For example, a cavity can be fixed with fillings, which is one of the more affordable treatments that a person can get from a dentist. Failing to treat a cavity can lead to the pulp chamber becoming compromised and infected. That requires a root canal at a minimum to save the tooth. If the tooth is too badly infected, the dentist will have to extract the tooth and replace it with an implant.

3. Makes it easier to keep teeth clean

Damaged teeth are sometimes difficult to clean, and that can increase a person's risk of tooth decay. Restoring the condition of teeth often addresses this problem. For example, poorly aligned teeth are known to be difficult to clean because some of the teeth might be overlapping, preventing a toothbrush from cleaning all their surfaces.

4. Restores proper chewing

The primary purpose of teeth is to break down and grind down foods. That is lost when they become severely damaged and can end up restricting the foods that the person can eat, which can negatively impact their oral and overall health. Restoring the function of a person's teeth allows them to eat the foods they desire.

5. Provides extra motivation for oral hygiene

Having a healthy set of teeth gives a person extra motivation to make oral hygiene a priority. People with unsightly-looking teeth sometimes give up on oral hygiene because they feel it will not make much of a difference.
