The Role of Lip Support in Full Mouth Restoration
- Posted on: Jul 15 2025
As we age, subtle changes in our appearance can become more pronounced, especially around the mouth. Fine lines, thinning lips, and a lack of facial balance often stem from one unexpected culprit: your teeth – or, more specifically, the lack of proper dental structure. This is where full mouth restoration goes beyond smile aesthetics and into facial rejuvenation.
As the Miss Texas USA Pageant®’s official dentists, Smile Texas® has a long-standing reputation for delivering smiles that turn heads and profiles that hold up beautifully. The team is led by Dr. Bret Davis, one of the youngest dentists to complete the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies curriculum.
What Happens During Full Mouth Restoration?
During full mouth restoration, your dentist combines multiple procedures – such as crowns, bridges, veneers, and implants – to rebuild or replace teeth in the upper and lower jaws. The process starts with a comprehensive exam and is followed by phased treatments that address function, alignment, and appearance.
How Full Mouth Restoration Supports Your Lips
Restoring missing or worn-down teeth enhances your bite and corrects issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and bite problems. The benefits don’t stop there, though. This comprehensive approach can also transform your entire facial profile.
A collapsed bite or missing teeth can lead to sagging lips and deepened nasolabial folds. Addressing lost dental structure gives the lips something to “rest on,” which creates more youthful facial contours.
By correcting tooth height, width, and alignment, the teeth act as a natural scaffolding system. This subtly lifts the lips and smooths fine lines around the mouth, eliminating the need for injections or surgical procedures.
Key advantages of this approach include:
- Reduction of perioral lines: Replacing worn-down teeth re-volumizes the area around the mouth.
- Improved lip fullness: Properly restored front teeth offer subtle, natural lip support.
- Enhanced facial balance: A harmonized lower third of the face improves your overall look.
