Full Mouth Reconstruction
The human mouth is made-up of an abundance of tissues, which are both soft and hard. The soft tissues are the gums, tongue, inner cheeks, and lips. The hard tissues are the teeth and the jawbone. The mouth also contains many connective tissues, which function by holding several structures, nerves, and cells together. A healthy mouth that functions properly has all of the tissues and systems working together. If the tissues and systems do not work together, then it will have an impact on an individual’s oral health.
