Full Mouth Reconstruction

A full mouth reconstruction is often performed for patients who wish to correct a number of dental health issues at once. Whereas a smile makeover can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns simultaneously, a full mouth reconstruction is custom-designed to improve both the function and the aesthetics of your smile. Oftentimes, full mouth reconstruction patients experience an improvement in their overall quality of life thanks to this advanced restorative dental treatment.

Am I a Candidate for Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Full mouth reconstruction patients may have any number of common oral health concerns or cosmetic imperfections. Candidates may suffer from severe tooth decay, advanced periodontal disease (gum disease), tooth erosion, missing teeth, poor occlusion, or Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD). In addition, full mouth reconstruction candidates often have teeth affected by cracks, chips, stains, or discoloration.

Our Austin cosmetic dentists give patients the advantage of correcting various dental concerns in a holistic approach with full mouth reconstructions. Patients benefit from this advanced treatment by addressing:

Austin Dental Spa uses modern dental technology to give patients the added benefit of effective yet expedited services, such as CEREC® same-day restorations. This revolutionary treatment can help you achieve your full mouth reconstruction in less time with its in-office milling system.

How Much Does a Full Mouth Reconstruction Cost?

A common concern with patients considering a full mouth reconstruction is the amount they can expect to pay. Since a wide variety of solutions may be included in your treatment plan, and certain procedures may require multiple treatments, the cost will greatly vary from patient to patient. A full mouth reconstruction can include a number of different treatments, such as dental implants, porcelain veneers, periodontal care, gum rejuvenation, and teeth whitening.

On average, the cost of a full mouth reconstruction is estimated to be a minimum of $800 to $1,500 for each tooth, and the maximum total cost can be as much as $30,000 or more. Despite the higher price of the multi-tooth reconstruction, patients typically report their life-changing results make it a worthwhile investment. Depending on your dental insurance provider and plan, some of your costs may be covered. In addition, our practice offers dental financing to help make your procedure more affordable.

Since the price range for a full mouth reconstruction is very patient-specific, you will need to schedule an appointment with one of our dentists to receive a more accurate quote. At this visit, they will create a personalized treatment plan based on your needs.

What Are My Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedure Options?

Since each full mouth reconstruction is tailored by our dentists to meet the unique needs of the patient, treatment often combines a number of cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures. Each component is selected during the consultation process and chosen by you and your dentist to improve the function and aesthetics of your smile. Possible procedures may include:

Dental Implants

Dental implants are an innovative solution for missing teeth that become a permanent part of your mouth. With unparalleled stability and natural-looking aesthetics, dental implants restore lost form and function with beautiful results.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are designed to conceal tooth imperfections such as chips, cracks, stains, discoloration, or even mild tooth misalignment. By attaching a thin layer of porcelain to the affected teeth, you can enhance the appearance of your smile.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns can be used to repair and fortify a tooth that has been affected by substantial damage or decay. Offering more structural support than porcelain veneers, dental crowns can be ideal for correcting imperfections of the rear teeth.

Gum Recontouring

Excess gum tissue, more commonly called a “gummy smile,” can affect the proportion of your teeth and gums. By recontouring the gums and removing any excess gum tissue, your smile can achieve a more balanced appearance.

TMD Treatment

To alleviate many of the common symptoms of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD), our dentists can evaluate the balance of the jaw, the movement of the head and neck, and the force of your bite. Afterward, a treatment program with TruDenta® can be custom-made to meet your unique needs.

Periodontal Care

With deep cleaning and root planing, you can minimize or eliminate the common symptoms of gum disease, including redness, swelling, discomfort, or bleeding of the gums.

What Are the Steps of a Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Although the procedures in a full mouth reconstruction are highly customized to the needs of the patient, the overall treatment process typically involves the following steps:

Step 1: Oral Evaluation & Diagnosis

The beginning stage of your full mouth reconstruction is assessing the different types of problems and the extent of your needs. One of our dentists will perform a comprehensive examination that may involve taking x-rays to fully visualize your oral structures. After discussing your concerns with you, our dentists will recommend which procedures are most beneficial for your dental needs. 

Step 2: Treatment Planning

Once you and your dentist have agreed on which treatments you will undergo, the in-depth planning process can begin. Depending on the types of dental issues you have, this may involve multiple procedures to safely and effectively correct your damaged teeth, gums, and/or jaw. Our team will make sure you fully understand the details of your procedure so you know what to expect and are receiving the results you desire.

Step 3: Reconstructive Procedures 

After your detailed treatment plan has been established, your dentist will begin performing the various stages of your full mouth reconstruction. This typically begins with any preliminary treatments that are necessary, such as periodontal therapy, bone grafting, and tooth extractions. Once your oral health concerns have been addressed, your dentist will perform the remainder of your dental procedures, completing your look with any permanent restorations and final touches.

To prolong the transformation you receive with the full mouth reconstruction process, you will need to return for routine check-ups and cleanings. Our dentists will advise you on any special precautions you may need to take to protect your new smile, but in most cases, patients can maintain their beautiful results by simply practicing good oral hygiene and attending routine exams.

Full Mouth Reconstruction Vs. Smile Makeover

Both the full mouth reconstruction and smile makeover share common goals of improving a patient’s dental concerns and addressing multiple issues at the same time. However, each treatment has a different main purpose:

Full Mouth Reconstruction restores oral health and function by fixing severe tooth decay, advanced periodontal disease (gum disease), tooth erosion, missing teeth, poor occlusion, and Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD), as well as cracks, chips, or discoloration. Procedures offered for a full mouth reconstruction generally include two or more of the following:

Smile Makeover typically refreshes your smile by concealing or remodeling cosmetic imperfections, such as chipped, cracked, worn-down, or stained teeth, disproportionate or misaligned teeth, gaps and spaces, or a “gummy” smile. Aesthetic treatment options available to choose from within a smile makeover are likely to include:

At Austin Dental Spa, we understand the importance of having the beautiful smile you desire and improved dental functionality you deserve. During an initial consultation, our team will review your dental health, needs, and goals to create a customized treatment plan just for you.

Additional Frequently Asked Questions About Full Mouth Reconstruction

How Long Does Full Mouth Reconstruction Take?

The duration of a full mouth reconstruction can vary considerably. Accounting for each step, you can expect the entire experience to range from several weeks to several months. Factors like the number of procedures required, healing times, and your individual needs can impact the timeline.

What Does Recovery From Full Mouth Reconstruction Involve?

Recovery from full mouth reconstruction will depend on the procedures included, as some treatments may require longer healing periods than others. You will likely experience side effects associated with the individual procedures incorporated into your care, such as swelling, bleeding, and bruising; however, prescribed pain medications or over-the-counter anti-inflammatories can often keep these symptoms under control.

Is Full Mouth Reconstruction Painful?

Certain treatments included in your full mouth reconstruction may be more uncomfortable than others, but it is important to note that pain is relative. Furthermore, to encourage comfort during dental procedures, we offer advanced sedation dentistry options – including nitrous oxide, oral conscious, and IV sedation – at Austin Dental Spa. These methods can also be helpful in managing dental anxiety.  

How Do I Maintain the Results of My Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Patients will receive post-procedure instructions to help maintain and preserve their new smile for as long as possible. This includes proper oral hygiene with daily brushing and flossing, routine professional cleanings, at least twice-annual exams, and taking care of newly added dental materials by avoiding biting down on hard foods and ice, eliminating all tobacco use, and using a nightguard if prone to grinding or clenching teeth at night.
