Keep reading to learn more about what’s possible with full-mouth reconstruction, including how it may be used to address bite alignment issues and more.

What is a full-mouth reconstruction?

A full-mouth reconstruction is a tailored dental treatment plan designed to address a wide range of dental problems affecting the entire mouth. This highly personalized procedure often involves a combination of both restorative and cosmetic treatments, aiming to restore health, functionality, and aesthetic appeal to your smile. Following a thorough consultation and examination, Dr. Kheir or Dr. Gemp will create a customized treatment plan to suit your unique needs and goals.

What’s included in a full-mouth reconstruction?

A full mouth reconstruction is not a one-size-fits-all approach. The treatments included in the procedure vary based on individual needs, goals, anatomy, current dental and oral health, and other variables. Generally speaking, some common treatments that might be part of a full-mouth reconstruction include:

• Dental implants
• Onlays and inlays
• Bridges
• Veneers
• Crowns
• Dentures

What dental issues can be corrected with a full-mouth reconstruction?

A full-mouth reconstruction is highly versatile and can be used to address a multitude of dental and oral issues, including:

• Missing or severely damaged teeth
• Tooth decay
• Gum disease
• Bite alignment problems
• TMJ/TMD and associated symptoms
• Abnormally small teeth
• Discolored teeth
• Worn, broken, or cracked teeth
• Sunken cheeks due to oral health problems

Can a full-mouth reconstruction correct a crooked bite?

Many bite alignment issues can be improved or even corrected through a full-mouth reconstruction. This is often achieved by strategically placing dental restorations that allow the upper and lower teeth to meet in a more complete and natural way, making it easier and more comfortable to bite, chew, eat, speak, laugh, and even smile. In more severe cases of bite misalignment, Dr. Kheir and Dr. Gemp may recommend that a more extensive jaw treatment or procedure be included in your full-mouth reconstruction treatment plan.

What is the difference between a full-mouth reconstruction and a smile makeover?

While both full-mouth reconstruction and smile makeovers aim to enhance your smile, they each have a specific area of focus. A full-mouth reconstruction prioritizes oral health and functionality, addressing dental issues that might be affecting your overall well-being, like tooth decay or damage. A smile makeover, on the other hand, emphasizes the aesthetic aspect of your smile, primarily incorporating cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding to achieve your desired look. Still, cosmetic improvements are certainly possible with a full-mouth reconstruction.
