Full Mouth Reconstruction

Some mouths may have many complex issues at work which can result in the teeth failing. The process of full mouth reconstruction is to remake the teeth and bite to offer a predictable result for optimal long term function and exceptional esthetics.  Full mouth reconstruction is not taught in dental schools.  Dr. Burghardt has graduated through the hands-on, patient treatment courses at the world’s premiere esthetic dental training institutes (LVI GLOBAL).  Dr. Burghardt has implemented his training into his practice daily.  He has been able to successfully restore many all porcelain full mouth cases including implant supported restorative cases offering these patients a comfortable bite position, comfortable teeth, and an exceptionally beautiful smile.  Many of these patients were also cured of years of head and neck pain including regular migraines, headaches, jaw pain, jaw noises and tooth pain (see testimonials).

What does full mouth reconstruction involve?

Initially, an accurate history and records (including digital x-rays, 3D Cone Beam Image, dental models and pictures) are collected. A bite position is obtained and stabilized following the principles of neuromuscular dentistry to ensure a predictable end result.

A design is then made based on the records and bite to offer an exceptional esthetic and a functional result that are second to none. The teeth are then prepared in the most conservative manner to receive the final restorations that will fit to the new bite position. Beautiful temporary restorations are made to function while the definitive porcelain restorations are being made by the Master Ceramicist.

The final restorations are usually inserted 3-4 weeks following their preparation. The bite is then refined to the neuromuscular position. The end result is a beautiful and confident smile and mouth that functions in a comfortable, effective, and predictable fashion to offer an excellent long term result.

Techniques and tools that may be used throughout procedures to make this process easy and comfortable include:

• Televisions with DVD/VCR on the ceilings for viewing during restorative procedures
• Massage Pads
• Conscious Sedation with medication
• Conscious Sedation with Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen
• Conscious Sedation with Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen and medication
