If you're thinking about improving the appearance or health of your smile, you've undoubtedly already started looking into cosmetic dentistry in Marco Island and have come across two common treatments: smile makeovers and full mouth reconstruction.
The distinctions between them could be unclear to many people. After all, both lead to a smile that is more attractive and healthier. However, they can be told apart based on their goals.

When a patient has a full mouth reconstruction, all the teeth in their mouth are repaired or replaced, taking into account the patient's smile, bite, speech, facial support, jaw joint health, and long-term success. The science of restorative dentistry is combined with aesthetics in full-mouth reconstructions to enhance the function, appearance, and health of the face and mouth.
This procedure is done primarily for aesthetic reasons. A smile makeover can improve the appearance of a smile for patients with healthy, but crooked or spaced teeth. This can enhance confidence and encourage patients to flash their pearly whites more frequently.
A full-mouth dental reconstruction, in contrast to a smile makeover, is intended to restore both the appearance and functionality of your smile and address major oral health conditions.
In general, people who have significant cosmetic problems, like crooked or yellow teeth should consider a smile makeover. When a patient needs treatment for both cosmetic and functional problems, like TMJ disorders or other oral health issues such as gum disease, full mouth reconstruction is the appropriate option.
