Is Full Mouth Reconstruction Right for Me?

A full mouth reconstruction is performed when all or most of the teeth in the mouth need to be repaired or replaced to improve function, oral health, and appearance. You’re generally considered a good candidate if you have a severe dental issue that requires extensive treatment, such as an injury that has affected the majority of your teeth or decay that’s occurring in multiple areas. No matter what kind of situation your smile is in, it’s still possible to fix it with the right combination of treatments. Once the reconstruction is complete, not only will your smile be whole again, but your mental and emotional well-being will improve as well thanks to the knowledge that you can show off your teeth with confidence.

The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process

While the full mouth reconstruction process is slightly different for every patient, the first step is the same for everyone: scheduling a consultation with our team at Pioneer Periodontics & Implant Dentistry. We’ll examine each of your teeth thoroughly, take X-rays so that we can get a grasp on any hidden dental problems, and identify oral health issues such as gum disease that will need to be addressed. We can then put together a treatment plan based on your needs.

The specifics of the plan will vary based on the patient. For example, if you have multiple teeth that are beyond salvaging, we may recommend extracting them and replacing them with dental implants. Some cosmetic procedures, such as gum grafting, may be performed as well to help your smile look natural after treatment is complete. The timeline of the process will depend on what procedures are involved. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns; we want you to have a full grasp of what’s going to happen before the treatment begins.

Obviously, a customizable treatment like full mouth reconstruction is not going to have a price set in stone. When we’re explaining the treatments that will be performed as part of the procedure, we’ll go into detail about the costs involved as well as your available payment options. We aim to be as transparent as possible about pricing during your initial consultation so that you won’t be caught off guard later. If you have dental insurance, we can review your coverage with you and explain how it can help you pay for your treatment.

Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs

How Long Does Full Mouth Reconstruction Take?

The timeline for full mouth reconstruction varies. It depends on the extent of the treatment you need. If your mouth and overall health are already in a state where your body can support dental implants, your full mouth reconstruction might take just a few months. However, if you need some preliminary care, such as tooth extractions or gum disease therapy, that can significantly extend your overall treatment timeline.

Some patients also get additional treatments, like crowns or other restorations, for their existing natural teeth. You might even visit your general dentist for traditional cosmetic treatments, such as veneers.

Our team strives to be as efficient as possible when performing full mouth reconstruction, during your consultation, we can estimate a timeline for your treatment journey.

Do I Need Full Mouth Reconstruction?

You might benefit from full mouth reconstruction if:

You have several missing teeth.
Your natural teeth are in poor condition.
Your oral function makes it difficult for you to eat your favorite foods and smile with confidence.

Full mouth reconstruction is for individuals who have complex or multiple oral health problems. Even if you have been struggling with dental problems for a long time, it might be able to help you!

How Long Will My Full Mouth Reconstruction Results Last?

The results of full mouth reconstruction have the potential to last a long time! For example, dental implants may last a lifetime. Once they are embedded in your jawbone, only rare and extreme circumstances might cause them to fail. The restorations on top of them (crowns, bridges, and dentures) can also endure for many years.

The longevity of your full mouth reconstruction results will depend partially on you. It is important that you stick to good habits that will support your smile’s long-term health. For example, thorough oral hygiene is essential. You should also eat a balanced diet and avoid bad habits like smoking.

Does Getting Full Mouth Reconstruction Hurt?

We want you to be comfortable during your procedures. We provide local anesthetic and, in many cases, we also administer sedation to help patients stay calm and relaxed. With the help of such provisions, you might feel little to nothing during your appointments with us.

After any anesthesia and sedation wear off, you may experience some soreness. This is usually easy to manage with pain relievers and other practical measures. It may last several days to a week or longer. Before you know it, though, your mouth should return to feeling normal.

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

It is unlikely that onlookers will be able to tell you had some dental work done. Dental implant restorations, as well as other types of restorations, are made of lifelike materials that are almost indistinguishable from natural tooth enamel. Their size, shape, and color can all be designed to perfectly complement your features. You should be able to smile with total confidence!
