The following is an overview of dental crowns as a part of full mouth reconstruction, including when it might be recommended and what the benefits are. 

What are dental crowns for full mouth reconstruction?

A full mouth reconstruction is a set of dental procedures to restore the teeth, gums and jaw. It is similar to a smile makeover, although a full mouth reconstruction is concerned with oral health and function just as much as it is with offering cosmetic benefits. Dental crowns, a common treatment option with full mouth reconstruction, is a dental restoration that is either placed over an existing tooth, attached to adjacent teeth or used to complete dental implants. 

When are dental crowns recommended?

Dental crowns are a versatile treatment solution and can be used to deal with a wide range of oral health, cosmetic and functional concerns. A dental professional may recommend dental crowns during a full mouth reconstruction if the patient has damaged teeth caused by tooth decay, teeth grinding (bruxism) or another oral health concern. 

They may also be an option for teeth replacement as well. There are different material options that dentists can use for dental crowns, and they work well for restoring the oral health of teeth in the front of the mouth, as well as, those used more for chewing purposes. 

The benefits of dental crowns

Dental crowns offer a range of benefits and can improve oral health, function and appearance. The more commonly reported benefits include:

  • Tooth preservation
  • Natural appearance
  • Fewer food restrictions
  • Easy to care for
  • Long-lasting

Perhaps most notably, dental crowns can prevent tooth loss if the tooth is damaged, and they can replace missing teeth when attached to adjacent teeth (bridge) or implants. They are also easy to care for and look, feel and function very similarly to natural teeth. 

How to care for dental crowns long-term

Patients can care for their dental crowns after a full mouth reconstruction through good oral hygiene, which should include brushing several times each day, flossing regularly and using mouthwash as directed. It is also important to try and prevent tooth damage by wearing a mouthguard during physical activities that might result in a blow to the face or while sleeping if teeth grinding is a concern.
