Full Mouth Reconstruction – Restore Your Smile Today
 Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive, medically necessary dental treatment designed to fully restore the function, health, and appearance of your smile. At Leavenworth Family Dental, our experienced team offers personalized full mouth restoration plans to address complex dental issues caused by trauma, disease, decay, or congenital conditions. If you’re struggling with pain, difficulty chewing, or embarrassment from your smile, full mouth reconstruction may be the transformative solution you’ve been looking for.
What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction involves rebuilding or replacing all teeth in a patient’s mouth using a combination of restorative and cosmetic procedures. Unlike cosmetic dentistry, which focuses on elective improvements, full mouth reconstruction is primarily rehabilitative—restoring health, structure, and function.
It is typically recommended for individuals with extensive dental damage, bite misalignment, or tooth loss caused by:
| • |
Severe Tooth Decay - Advanced cavities or infections that have compromised multiple teeth.
|
| • |
Missing Teeth - Tooth loss due to trauma, periodontal disease, or failed dental work.
|
| • |
Worn or Damaged Teeth - Caused by bruxism (teeth grinding), acid erosion, or injury.
|
| • |
Bite Problems - Malocclusion or TMJ dysfunction that impacts chewing and speaking. |
Common procedures used in full mouth restoration include crowns, bridges, dental implants, veneers, root canals, gum therapy, and orthodontics. This approach not only enhances aesthetics but also corrects functional problems that can affect long-term oral and overall health.
Who is a Candidate for Full Mouth Reconstruction?
You may be a candidate for full mouth rehab if you experience chronic dental issues that affect your comfort, function, or confidence. These may include:
| • |
Chronic Jaw or Tooth Pain - Ongoing discomfort may signal bite imbalances or dental infections.
|
| • |
Multiple Broken or Missing Teeth - Extensive damage from trauma, neglect, or decay.
|
| • |
Advanced Gum Disease - Periodontal issues that have caused tooth or bone loss.
|
| • |
TMJ Disorders - Problems with jaw alignment or function requiring restorative correction.
|
| • |
Worn Teeth from Grinding - Bruxism-related wear that alters your bite and tooth structure. |
Ideal candidates are in good general health, have sufficient jawbone for implants (or are willing to undergo grafting), and are committed to a structured, multi-phase treatment plan. A comprehensive dental evaluation is essential to confirm your candidacy and design your customized path to recovery.
Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedures Explained
Every full mouth dental reconstruction is uniquely tailored, combining procedures to achieve optimal function and appearance. Depending on your condition, your treatment plan may include:
| • |
Dental Implants - Titanium posts surgically placed to replace missing teeth and support crowns or bridges.
|
| • |
Crowns and Bridges - Restore shape, strength, and function to damaged or missing teeth.
|
| • |
Porcelain Veneers - Thin shells placed on front teeth to correct shape, size, and color.
|
| • |
Periodontal Therapy - Treats gum infections and prepares tissue for further reconstruction.
|
| • |
Bone Grafting - Strengthens the jawbone when needed to support implants.
|
| • |
Orthodontics - Corrects misalignment to improve bite and tooth positioning. |
Advanced diagnostics like digital X-rays and 3D imaging are used to map your oral structures and guide precise treatment planning. Each phase of care is designed to align with your anatomy, goals, and timeline, with some patients completing treatment in months, while others progress over a year or longer.
Full Mouth Reconstruction Cost Factors
The cost of full mouth restoration varies based on your individual needs, the complexity of treatment, and the materials chosen. Key factors influencing cost include:
| • |
Number of Procedures - More extensive reconstructions typically involve a combination of treatments.
|
| • |
Type of Restorations - Custom crowns, bridges, and implant materials (zirconia vs. porcelain) affect pricing.
|
| • |
Additional Treatments - Bone grafting, root canals, or sedation can influence overall cost.
|
| • |
Laboratory Fees and Imaging - High-quality diagnostics and prosthetics add to the investment. |
A detailed consultation is essential to create an accurate estimate. Many patients find that dental reconstruction surgery is a worthwhile investment, leading to reduced future dental expenses and improved health. Insurance coverage can vary, so our office recommends checking with your provider in advance. Flexible financing options may also be available to help you begin treatment without delay.
Timeline & Recovery Expectations
The timeline for full mouth rehab depends on your starting point and the specific procedures involved. While the full process may take several months, it’s typically divided into manageable phases.
| 1. |
Initial consultation with diagnostic imaging and treatment planning.
|
| 2. |
Preparatory procedures like extractions, bone grafts, or gum therapy if needed.
|
| 3. |
Placement of implants or restorations, often over multiple visits.
|
| 4. |
Healing periods between phases to ensure proper integration and stability.
|
| 5. |
Final adjustments and long-term follow-up for bite alignment and aesthetics. |
Recovery varies by procedure—implants may require a few days to a week of healing, while crowns or veneers involve minimal downtime. For patients with dental anxiety, sedation options are available to ensure a comfortable experience. Proper home care and scheduled checkups are critical for long-term success.
