When you are searching for a comprehensive solution to multiple oral health issues, you want to be sure that the procedure you ultimately choose will address all of your problems as efficiently as possible. For severe cases – such as those that require the replacement of multiple teeth and the treatment of infection – full-mouth reconstruction may prove the best option. At the Milwaukee, WI prosthodontic office of Dr. Barry R. Franzen, patients seeking extensive dental rehabilitation are invited to explore the possibilities afforded by full-mouth reconstruction and more.
What is Involved in a Full-Mouth Reconstruction?
The type of procedure required to meet your needs will depend largely upon your unique oral health concerns. The most common reasons that full-mouth reconstruction is recommended include:
- Teeth that have been lost due to decay, disease, or traumatic oral injury
- Teeth that have been fractured or worn down, particularly due to acid erosion or bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Recurring pain in the head, jaw, and neck due to occlusion issues; resultant need for ongoing adjustments of the bite
- Advanced periodontal disease, resulting in loose, shifting teeth and/or tooth loss
A full-mouth reconstruction differs from a smile makeover in that it is a procedure that aims to restore functionality as well as aesthetics. A smile makeover is an elective treatment that addresses only cosmetic aspects of your smile. With a full-mouth reconstruction procedure, you’ll enjoy improved comfort and oral health in addition to a more beautiful and youthful appearance.
A popular solution frequently utilized in full-mouth rehabilitation is the placement of dental implants. Using biocompatible materials and custom restorations, Dr. Franzen effectively replaces missing teeth in a way that looks and feels completely natural. You’ll love your new smile and the freedom that comes with a full set of beautifully crafted, completely lifelike teeth.

For men and women who are missing most or all of their natural teeth, the thought of a completely restored and beautiful smile may seem like the stuff of dreams. For these individuals, the ability to chew foods properly and speak clearly has become a thing of the past. While removable dentures may prove a sufficient solution for some of these patients, dealing with ill-fitting prosthetics can negatively impact quality of life on a daily basis. At the

While many may commit to quit smoking, lose weight, or spend their money more wisely – all of which are wonderful resolutions – we’d like to invite you to entertain the idea of another type of New Year’s resolution: revitalizing and repairing your smile.

For hundreds of years, tooth loss was widely accepted as an unavoidable part of the natural aging process. As men and women entered their late fifties and sixties, they simply resigned themselves to the fact that they’d soon be losing at least some of their teeth as a matter of course due to their advancing age. Thanks to modern dental solutions, tooth loss is no longer an absolute inevitability, but it does still occur. Patients seeking a reliable 
The loss of an adult tooth is among the most traumatic experiences a person can endure. It is estimated that approximately 178 million Americans are missing one or more teeth, and 37 million are completely edentulous (without any teeth). The importance of replacing missing teeth simply cannot be emphasized enough, particularly when you take into consideration the many negative effects a patient suffers as a result of tooth loss. At
