Frequently Asked Questions About Full-Mouth Reconstruction
What is a full-mouth reconstruction?
A full-mouth reconstruction is the process of replacing all or nearly all your teeth. Usually patients who come to us for this treatment have suffered widespread dental damage. They have severe difficulty eating and are embarrassed about the condition of their smile. We usually use dental implants attached to replacement teeth to restore these patients' smiles.
How long does a full-mouth reconstruction take?
The exact length of your full-mouth reconstruction will depend on several factors, including your oral health situation and the type of replacement teeth we use. Depending on your unique situation, there may be a waiting period of several months between getting your implants and receiving your replacement teeth.
How much does a full-mouth reconstruction cost?
The cost for your full-mouth reconstruction can vary widely, depending on the type of treatment we perform. We encourage you to come in for an initial exam, so we can discuss your needs and take a set of digital images to create treatment options. Then we can provide you with an accurate estimate of your treatment. We'll also discuss various payment options, including third-party financing, so you can make an informed decision.
Does full-mouth reconstruction mean every tooth has to be removed?
No. Healthy or restorable teeth can often be preserved. One tooth may need a crown, another root canal treatment, while missing or hopeless teeth may need replacement. The plan depends on what each part of your mouth actually needs.
Can badly worn teeth be rebuilt?
Often, yes. Teeth worn down by grinding, erosion, or bite problems may be rebuilt with crowns, bonding, or other restorations. The cause of the wear should also be addressed so the new dental work isn't exposed to the same problem.
Can full-mouth reconstruction be completed in stages?
Very often. Pain, infection, and unstable teeth are usually addressed first. Later stages may rebuild the bite, replace missing teeth, and improve appearance. Breaking treatment into phases can also make a complex plan easier to manage.
Will I be without teeth during treatment?
Usually there are temporary options when teeth need to be removed or rebuilt. Temporary restorations can preserve appearance and function while tissues heal or final restorations are being made.
Is full-mouth reconstruction the same as a smile makeover?
Not quite. A smile makeover is primarily cosmetic, while full-mouth reconstruction addresses significant functional and health problems throughout the mouth. Appearance often improves too, but rebuilding comfortable function is a central goal.
