\"Up<\/a>While most people come to the dentist for a single procedure, there are times in which multiple dental services are needed at one time or in subsequent stages. You may be familiar with the terms \u201csmile makeover\u201d and \u201cfull-mouth reconstruction,\u201d as these are two of the most extensive dental services offered at most practices. Both a smile makeover and a full-mouth reconstruction are designed to make multiple changes to a person\u2019s smile. However, they have some distinct differences as well.<\/p>\n

Smile Makeover<\/h3>\n

A smile makeover is purely cosmetic, which means that although you may be recreating your entire smile, your reasons lie within aesthetics alone. A smile makeover typically requires multiple cosmetic procedures to satisfy a patient\u2019s individual goals. Depending on your unique concerns, your smile makeover may include the following cosmetic dental services<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Bonding
\n\u2022 Veneers
\n\u2022 Teeth whitening
\n\u2022 Laser gum reshaping<\/p>\n

Full-Mouth Reconstruction<\/h3>\n

Unlike smile makeovers, a full-mouth reconstruction is usually done to improve the health or function of multiple teeth. While aesthetics certainly play a role in the overall goals of a full-mouth reconstruction, it is functionality that drives the need for a full-mouth reconstruction. This extensive procedure is performed when a patient has several teeth that are diseased, damaged or missing. Typical services included in a full-mouth rehabilitation include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Dental implants
\n\u2022 Crowns
\n\u2022 Bridges
\n\u2022 Fillings and root canals<\/p>\n

The Overlap<\/h3>\n

Because every smile is unique, it is very common to have patients who need drastic changes to their smile that involve both cosmetic services and restorative services. Therefore, a smile makeover and full-mouth reconstruction do not have to exist separately. In fact, they commonly overlap.<\/p>\n
