What is the process?
- Comprehensive Evaluation: The first step is a thorough examination, including X-rays, impressions, and 3D imaging, to assess the extent of dental issues and plan the reconstruction.
- Treatment Planning: Dr. Mariam and Dr. Yara will discuss your goals and develop a personalized treatment plan that may include a combination of procedures such as dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, and orthodontics.
- Preparatory Procedures: In some cases, preparatory work such as gum treatment, extraction of non-viable teeth, or bone grafting may be necessary before the main reconstruction can begin.
- Reconstruction Procedures: The core phase of the reconstruction may take place over multiple appointments, focusing on restoring each tooth to optimal health and function.
- Finishing Touches: Once the main restorative work is complete, final adjustments and cosmetic enhancements are made to ensure the new smile is both functional and beautiful.
- Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up visits are essential to monitor the success of the reconstruction and make any necessary adjustments or corrections.
How long does full mouth reconstruction take?
The duration of full mouth reconstruction varies widely among patients, depending on the complexity of their dental issues and the specific procedures involved. It can range from several months to more than a year, including recovery periods between procedures.
Will it be painful?
