Full Mouth Reconstruction

Full mouth reconstruction is a customized treatment plan that combines multiple dental procedures to rebuild and enhance your entire smile. Tailored to meet your unique needs, this approach doesn’t just focus on aesthetics—it also restores functionality, helping you enjoy better chewing, speaking, and overall oral health. Full-mouth reconstruction, full-mouth rehabilitation, and full-mouth restoration are terms often used interchangeably to describe the process of rebuilding or restoring all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws simultaneously.

Patients who need a reconstruction may feel self-conscious about smiling or embarrassed about the condition of their teeth. Our compassionate team is here to help you restore your smile and your confidence. Dr. Schulert’s years of experience working with the materials and cosmetic procedures used in full-mouth reconstruction means you will have a smile that looks and feels natural. After consulting with you to assess your dental needs and your goals, he will develop a plan to restore your smile, bite, and overall dental function.

You may be a candidate for full-mouth reconstruction if:

      • Your teeth have been lost due to decay or trauma

      • Your teeth have been injured or fractured

      • Your teeth have become severely worn because of long-term acid erosion (from foods, beverages, or acid reflux) or from bruxism (teeth grinding)
      • You have ongoing jaw, muscle, or headache pain related to your bite

    Options for Full Mouth Reconstruction

    We offer a range of options for full mouth reconstruction, each designed to address different aspects of your dental health and appearance. Here’s a closer look at the treatments that might be part of your personalized plan:

    • Veneers: Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth to enhance color, shape, and size. They’re a great option for patients looking to correct chipped, worn, or misaligned teeth as part of a full mouth reconstruction.
    • Crowns: Crowns, or “caps,” cover the entire tooth, adding strength and improving appearance. They’re ideal for restoring damaged or decayed teeth and are often used in conjunction with other treatments to provide a balanced, durable smile.
    • Dental Implants: For those with missing teeth, dental implants are a permanent solution. Implants are anchored in the jawbone, providing a stable base for crowns or bridges. They restore functionality and preserve bone health, making them an excellent foundation for full mouth reconstruction.
    • Bridges: Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the surrounding natural teeth or implants. Bridges help maintain alignment, improve bite, and fill in gaps for a seamless smile.

    The extent of your reconstruction will depend on the condition of your teeth. Your dentist may recommend crowns, bridges, veneers, or implants to restore your smile to its best possible condition. He or she will also address the state of your gum tissue, as the health of your gums may impact the type of restorations you receive.

    Your treatment plan will entail a step-by-step process detailing all aspects of your reconstruction. The duration of your treatment will depend on the extent of work needed, but in the end it will all be worth it. Your teeth, mouth, and smile will be healthy and beautiful for the rest of your life.
