How long can my full-mouth reconstruction last with proper care?

The future timeline for a full-mouth reconstruction will vary, as it does with all patients, depending on your personal factors, oral structure, health, and the type of procedures you've undergone. However, many of the most commonly used reconstruction options have a lifespan of at least a decade. These options include veneers, dental implants, crowns, and bridges, all of which can last ten years or more if patients take the proper care.

Proper care, of course, involves daily hygiene habits such as brushing, flossing, and rinsing. Another integral component is scheduling routine check-ups and cleanings. After your full-mouth reconstruction, a follow-up appointment will allow us to check that everything is comfortable and that your bite is functional and does not give you any trouble.

Additionally, Dr. Walker can provide tips and tricks for correct care to help you extend the lifespan of your reconstruction or make any necessary alterations if you aren't pleased with your results. Then, through routine check-ups, we can monitor your progress, provide professional cleanings, and evaluate the integrity of any implants, fixtures, or veneers.

What will my full-mouth reconstruction entail?

Your full-mouth reconstruction will be customized to your needs. During your comprehensive consultation, we can discuss your concerns, goals, and expectations to ascertain which techniques will be valuable to your daily needs. The status of your teeth, gums, jaw muscles, joints, and overall dental structure will inform us which restorative options are best for you.

Those with one or a few missing teeth may benefit from dental implants, crowns, or bridges. Those who require more extensive care may be better served by dentures. Alternatively, a set of veneers can conceal multiple dental issues, including decay, damage, injury, discoloration, or other aesthetic ailments.
