The Full Mouth Reconstruction Examination
The first step in this process is to see your dentist and receive a comprehensive oral examination. During the exam, your dentist will closely review the state of your teeth, gums, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and esthetics.

Teeth- Your dentist will examine any veneers, crowns, teeth wear, implants, root canals and assess your teeth strength

Gums- Your dentist will look for deep pockets, insufficient tissue and gum disease. Scaling or other treatments may be necessary if gum disease is present. This is to make sure the newly reconstructed teeth will have a solid foundation.

TMJ- Your dentist will check your bite to make sure it's free of pain and doesn't cause unusual wear on your teeth

Esthetics- Your dentist will note the color, size, proportion and shape of your teeth

X-rays and other records of your mouth and teeth will be gathered. Once all of the information is assembled, a comprehensive plan will be developed for the reconstruction.  {article source: to view the full content of this article, click here}
