Your treatment will always begin with a consultation so that our team understands your oral health and can develop a plan that best addresses your dental needs. A full mouth reconstruction can involve multiple different procedures to achieve your desired results, such as:

  • Fillings, crowns, or other restorations for repairing and strengthening compromised teeth

  • Dental implants or other kinds of tooth replacement options for rebuilding missing teeth
  • Cosmetic dental services for enhancing the appearance of your smile

Understanding the Cost of a Full Mouth Reconstruction

Due to the customizability of a full mouth reconstruction, you won’t be able to assume the same price of treatment for every patient. The only way to get a more accurate estimate of the cost of service is to undergo an initial consultation with our team. That said, the amount you’ll pay for this treatment will typically depend on the kind of procedures you receive as well as the extent of those processes. Remember that due to the streamlined approach of a full mouth reconstruction, you can get more of your money’s worth by getting all of the treatments you require instead of undergoing procedures here and there. Additionally, our team can discuss your financing options that can help minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.

Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs

Does Getting a Full Mouth Reconstruction Hurt?

Similar to our other dental treatments, our team prioritizes ensuring that patients are completely comfortable and stress-free throughout their full mouth reconstruction process. Whether you simply require a dental crown or we need to perform a more complex procedure to place dental implants, we will certainly administer a local anesthetic to numb your mouth before beginning any work. We also offer sedation dentistry to further reduce your body’s ability to register pain while also making you feel extra relaxed during your appointment.

After your procedure, it’s natural to feel some discomfort or soreness, but this should be mild and short-lived. You’ll also be able to minimize your symptoms by taking over-the-counter/prescribed pain relievers, sticking to soft foods initially, and adhering to your dentist’s aftercare guidelines.

How Long Does a Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedure Take?

The answer to this will depend on various factors, including how many teeth will need to be treated and the specific treatments that are needed to accomplish your dental goals. Furthermore, whether your procedures can be finished at the same time or if they need to be completed consecutively can also be a significant consideration. For example, root canal treatment and dental crown placement could potentially be finished within several weeks, while other options like dental implants may need months to complete.

Will People Be Able to Tell That I Had a Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Even if you undergo more than one type of dental treatment for your full mouth reconstruction, one of our team’s main objectives is to ensure that your results look as natural as possible. With advanced technology and techniques, we can construct restorations and prosthetics that can easily blend in with the rest of your smile. Of course, if you wish to enhance the appearance of your pearly whites, such as getting veneers on the majority of your front teeth, then you might expect a more drastic and noticeable transformation. You’ll be free to discuss your desired results with your dentist, as well as the topic of subtlety, so that they can create the proper plan to meet your needs.

How Do I Care for My Smile After Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Once you’ve undergone your full mouth reconstruction and achieved the results you wanted, keeping your brand-new smile will be your next priority. Some of the common ways to maintain your results include:

  • Staying committed to good oral hygiene, such as brushing twice daily, flossing every day, and using mouthwash routinely.
  • Avoiding bad habits like grinding your teeth, chewing on ice, and using your teeth as tools.
  • Scheduling regular dental checkups and cleanings with our team every six months so that we can monitor your oral health and provide treatment where necessary.
