The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process
Full mouth reconstruction starts with a consultation. Our team will examine your mouth and learn about your medical history. We will also ask about your goals and hopes for treatment. Based on what we learn, we can design your custom treatment plan.
Full mouth reconstruction may include multiple procedures, such as:
- Gum disease treatment to rid your mouth of active infections.
- Tooth replacement, like dental implants, to fill gaps and restore your bite.
- New restorations, like crowns or fillings, to repair damaged teeth.
- Cosmetic services to help you look your best.
Our team can even use advanced software to give you a digital preview of your results.
Once we get started with treatment, it could take several weeks to a year or longer to complete your full mouth reconstruction journey.
Understanding the Cost of Full Mouth Reconstruction
The cost of full mouth reconstruction depends heavily on which treatments you undergo and their extent. During your consultation, we can provide an itemized cost estimate. We will also be happy to help you understand payment options. For example, we can assist with PPO insurance claims. We also accept financing through CareCredit and Cherry. Additionally, you may choose to sign up for your Loyalty Membership Plan, which offers a 15% discount on restorative treatments.
Keep in mind that, although full mouth reconstruction can seem pricey, it is a smart investment in your health and quality of life!
Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs
How Long Does a Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedure Take?
This will ultimately depend on the unique treatments included in your plan. Different treatments have different timelines, after all.
That said, our team will do our best to streamline the process as much as possible for you. For example, if we can complete two treatments in one appointment, we’ll do so – or, if you have the availability, we can arrange for a longer appointment so we can complete more work.
We’ll also be sure to give you an estimated timeline for each step along your journey. In the meantime, here are some averages for common full mouth reconstruction treatments in Prosper:
- Tooth-colored fillings, dental bonding, and gum recontouring – 1 appointment
- Dental crowns, dental bridges, dentures, take-home teeth whitening, and veneers – 2 weeks
- Dental implants – 3 to 6 months
- Invisalign – 12 to 18 months
How Long Will My Full Mouth Reconstruction Results Last?
Generally speaking, “minimal” cosmetics and restorations like tooth-colored fillings and dental bonding last between 10 and 15 years, while more comprehensive treatments like dentures and veneers can last up to 20 years or more. Dental implants and Invisalign results can serve your smile for a lifetime if you follow your aftercare instructions!
In fact, the more diligent you are about taking proper care of your new dental work, the longer they’ll last. The best cleaning products will depend on the materials used for your cosmetics and restorations, but every full mouth reconstruction patient should:
- Brush their teeth twice daily
- Floss once per day
- Schedule a professional checkup and cleaning every six months
- Avoid poor habits that can damage teeth like nail biting, using your teeth as tools, and smoking
Limiting your consumption of dark-colored drinks and staining foods can also help your dental work keep their bright ivory shine.
Does Getting a Full Mouth Reconstruction Hurt?
We recognize that fear of pain is a common reason people avoid getting the dental care they need. Rest assured, your comfort is our team’s priority. Not only will we administer a local anesthetic to numb your mouth for more complex treatments, but we also offer various dental sedation options for anxious patients. Many of our patients remark that their full mouth reconstruction was more comfortable than they thought it would be – some even say their treatment was completely painless.
Please let us know if you have any tooth or gum sensitivity or are afraid of the dentist. We’ll work with you to make sure your care is accommodating!
Can I Get a Full Mouth Reconstruction if I Smoke?
Smoking does complicate the full mouth reconstruction process, particularly when it comes to recovery. That said, you won’t be automatically “disqualified” from receiving this treatment because of your smoking habits. Many patients who smoke have complex dental needs, and we’re just as happy to help them restore their smile as we are any other patient.
You should know that in order to safely receive treatment, you may need special treatment planning and additional preventive precautions. We’ll also ask you to stop using any and all tobacco products for several weeks before and after your full mouth reconstruction. Smoking interferes with the mouth’s healing process and significantly increases the risk of infection and treatment failure.
If you think you might need help quitting smoking, please don’t hesitate to talk to your primary care provider and support network. Our team will do what we can to help as well!
