Full Mouth Reconstruction: Porcelain Veneers To Improve The Teeth’s Appearance

A full mouth reconstruction can repair damaged teeth and improve the appearance of the patient’s smile. One of the more frequently requested treatments during a full mouth reconstruction is porcelain veneers, which can repair a range of issues and restore the appearance of teeth. 

Porcelain veneers and a full mouth reconstruction

Before deciding which treatment options are right for a full mouth reconstruction, it is helpful to have a clear understanding of all that is available. The following is an overview of porcelain veneers, including their benefits and how a dentist can use them to improve the teeth’s appearance during a full mouth reconstruction. 

Porcelain veneers defined

Porcelain veneers are thin layers of porcelain material that are applied to the visible surface of teeth to improve the appearance and protect teeth from further damage. The dentist can match the color of existing teeth and the porcelain veneer so that they are the same and give a beautiful shade. Each veneer is customized for the exact tooth on which it is placed to ensure a comfortable fit and long-term hold. 

The benefits of veneers

Many are familiar with the cosmetic advantages of porcelain veneers. However, there are oral health and functional benefits that veneers offer as well. The main benefits include:

• Natural appearance
• Protects the tooth
• Durable material
• Long-term results
• Safe treatment

Most notably, porcelain veneers can improve appearance by covering minor to moderate imperfections in teeth. They offer a natural and attractive look for the patient. The veneers are also strong and protect the natural tooth from decay and damage.

When to consider veneers

Another benefit of dental veneers is that they are able to fix a range of issues. They are ideal for patients who are going through a full mouth reconstruction and have a desire to fix one or more of the following concerns:

• Chips & cracks
• Stained teeth
• Worn-down teeth
• Enamel decay
• Crooked teeth

Veneers are also most appropriate for more visible teeth, whereas dental crowns may make a better solution for damaged premolars and molars during a full mouth reconstruction. When compared to dental bonding, veneers are typically a more long-term solution and provide more reliable results, although veneers may cost more than dental bonding initially. 

How a full mouth reconstruction works

During a full mouth reconstruction consultation, the dentist will discuss treatment goals with the patient and help them decide what treatments are most appropriate. They can then get to work through follow-up visits, fixing issues such as damaged teeth, missing teeth, gum disease, jawbone loss and more. After treatment, the patient can enjoy their new smile and should take necessary steps to ensure that it remains healthy and appealing.
