Full mouth reconstruction

Why is it that many elderly people find it difficult to eat? As we age, the wear and tear of natural dentition combines with many prosthodontic creations made over the years can lead to a situation where while patient has a full mouth of teeth but find it very difficult to eat properly.

Full mouth reconstruction to improve occlusion is a comprehensive dental procedure designed for patients whose teeth do not meet properly, causing difficulties in chewing and eating. This condition, often resulting from misalignment, wear, or missing teeth, can severely impact a person's ability to enjoy a normal diet and lead to additional health issues like poor nutrition or jaw pain. Full mouth reconstruction involves a combination of restorative treatments, such as crowns, bridges, dental implants, or orthodontics, aimed at realigning the bite and restoring the proper function of the teeth. By carefully evaluating the patient's unique oral anatomy, dentists can create a customized treatment plan that reestablishes harmony between the upper and lower teeth, improves chewing efficiency, and enhances overall oral health and quality of life.
