When dental challenges like missing teeth, worn restorations, and jaw pain stack up, the path forward can feel daunting. Rather than piecing together treatment after treatment, you deserve a solution that addresses everything at once. Full mouth reconstruction offers an all-inclusive approach to restoring both function and aesthetics, giving you back the confidence to smile, speak, and eat without worry. At Lumin8 Dentistry in Lakewood, Dr. Jun Carrington combines advanced training from the Kois Center with state-of-the-art technology to create personalized full mouth reconstruction plans. We understand the frustration of living with complex dental problems, and we’re here to guide you through a transformative journey toward your best oral health.
What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is a personalized treatment plan that targets multiple dental issues across your entire mouth. Unlike single procedures that target one problem, this comprehensive approach rebuilds your smile from the foundation up. The process may involve dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, and other restorative treatments working together to create a functional, beautiful result. The goal extends beyond cosmetics. Full mouth reconstruction rebuilds your ability to chew properly, alleviates jaw pain, corrects bite problems, and protects your remaining natural teeth from further damage. Each case is unique, with treatment plans tailored to your specific needs, timeline, and budget.Who Benefits from Full Mouth Reconstruction?
This comprehensive approach helps patients facing multiple dental challenges that significantly impact their daily lives. For example, approximately 178 million Americans are missing at least one tooth, and about 40 million Americans are missing all of their teeth. You might be a candidate if you experience several of the following concerns:- Extensive tooth decay affecting multiple teeth
- Severely worn teeth from grinding or acid erosion
- Missing teeth that compromise chewing function
- Jaw pain or TMJ disorders
- Failed dental work requiring replacement
- Traumatic injuries affecting multiple teeth
- Congenital conditions impacting tooth development
The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process
Your transformation begins with an in-depth evaluation at our Lakewood office. Dr. Carrington examines your teeth, gums, jaw joints, and bite alignment using digital X-rays and our intraoral scanner. This technology provides detailed images that help us understand the full scope of your needs. During your consultation, we discuss your concerns, goals, and any discomfort you’re experiencing. This conversation shapes your personalized treatment plan, which may include:- Restorative Treatments: Dental implants replace missing tooth roots, providing stable anchors for crowns or bridges. Porcelain crowns restore damaged teeth while protecting them from further breakdown. Full or partial dentures may address extensive tooth loss when implants aren’t suitable.
- Cosmetic Enhancements: Veneers can transform the appearance of front teeth, while the back teeth receive functional restorations. Teeth whitening brightens your smile before placing final restorations, ensuring consistent color.
- Functional Corrections: Bite adjustments and occlusal therapy address jaw pain and uneven wear patterns. Root canal therapy saves teeth that might otherwise require extraction.
Advanced Technology for Precision Results
Our Lakewood practice uses cutting-edge tools that enhance both accuracy and comfort during full mouth reconstruction. Digital X-rays expose you to minimal radiation while capturing detailed images of tooth structure and bone density. Our intraoral scanner creates 3D models of your mouth without the discomfort of traditional impressions. The SonicFill™3 Composite Filling System allows us to complete restorations with precision and durability. When combined with our digital planning capabilities, these technologies ensure your final results align perfectly with your anatomy and aesthetic goals.Financing Your Transformation
