Your Full Mouth Restoration Journey
Full mouth reconstruction is carefully planned and completed in phases to ensure the best possible results:
Comprehensive Consultation
We listen to your concerns and goals, review your medical and dental history, and discuss what you would like your smile to look and feel like.
Detailed Evaluation
Our dentists examine your teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, and bone, and take digital X-rays, photos, and impressions to fully understand your needs.
Custom Treatment Plan
We create a step-by-step plan that outlines each procedure, the order of treatment, estimated timelines, and costs, and we review it with you in detail.
Building a Healthy Foundation
We address gum disease, infections, and teeth that cannot be saved, and complete any bone grafting or implant placement needed.
Restorative Treatment Phases
We restore and replace teeth with crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, or veneers, carefully refining your bite along the way.
Final Adjustments and Maintenance
We fine-tune your bite, provide a night guard if needed, and create a maintenance schedule to protect your results.
Who Is a Candidate for Full Mouth Reconstruction?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have multiple dental problems affecting your ability to chew, speak, or smile comfortably
- Feel like you are constantly fixing one tooth after another
- Experience chronic jaw pain, headaches, or bite discomfort
- Have many worn, broken, or missing teeth
- Want a long-term solution rather than temporary fixes
- Are in good overall health and ready to commit to a multi-phase treatment plan
During your consultation, our dentists will evaluate your oral health and explain which treatments can best restore your smile.
How Long Does Full Mouth Reconstruction Take?
The length of treatment depends on the procedures involved and how your mouth heals. Some reconstructions can be completed in a few months, while cases involving extractions, bone grafting, or dental implants may take a year or longer to allow for proper healing. Temporary restorations are often used between phases, so you can eat and smile comfortably throughout your treatment. We will provide a clear timeline during your consultation so you know what to expect at each stage.
Insurance and Financing for Full Mouth Reconstruction
Because full mouth reconstruction includes many restorative procedures, portions of your treatment may be covered by dental insurance. We accept a variety of insurance plans, and our team will help you understand your benefits and plan treatment phases to make the most of your coverage. We also offer CareCredit financing, allowing you to spread the cost of your care into manageable monthly payments.

Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment plan that restores or replaces most or all of the teeth in the upper and lower jaws. It combines restorative procedures such as crowns, bridges, implants, and gum treatment to rebuild the health, function, and appearance of your smile.
Full mouth reconstruction focuses mainly on restoring oral health and function, such as repairing damaged teeth, replacing missing teeth, and correcting bite problems. A smile makeover focuses primarily on cosmetic improvements.
Treatment can take anywhere from a few months to a year or more, depending on the procedures needed and healing time between phases, especially when implants or bone grafts are involved.
Each procedure is performed with local anesthetic to keep you comfortable. Mild soreness or sensitivity after certain treatments is normal and usually managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
The cost varies widely depending on the number and type of procedures involved. After your evaluation, we provide a detailed treatment plan with cost estimates, and we offer CareCredit financing to help with costs.

With good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and protective habits like wearing a night guard, the results can last many years. Implants can last decades, and crowns and bridges often last 10 to 15 years or more.
Many of the restorative procedures involved may be partially covered by dental insurance. We accept a variety of insurance plans and can help you plan treatment to maximize your benefits, with CareCredit financing available for remaining costs.
