Restoring Your Smile with Full Mouth Reconstruction

Most dental treatments address individual problems associated with the teeth, such as misalignment, discoloration, fractures, or other individual issues. If you have numerous problems with your mouth and teeth, addressing them individually would be extremely time-consuming and expensive. Full mouth reconstruction includes components of cosmetic and restorative dentistry, improving your mouth’s overall functionality and appearance, making you look and feel more confident.

What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?

A full mouth reconstruction is an incredibly comprehensive and personalized solution that includes various general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry techniques. Instead of addressing individual aspects of your dental health and appearance, a full mouth reconstruction addresses everything with dental crowns, tooth extractions, dental veneers, fillings, and more. Besides the teeth, a full mouth reconstruction also focuses on improving your gum and jawbone health with bone grafting techniques, gingivectomy, and other restorative procedures. A full mouth reconstruction is essentially a short- or long-term plan made to transform your mouth entirely, addressing all the visible and invisible concerns.

Your Full Mouth Reconstruction May Include:

Deep Cleaning: Your full mouth reconstruction might start with a deep cleaning to remove months of accumulated plaque and tartar and reverse the early stages of gum disease. This is necessary if you’re experiencing dental problems due to gingivitis.
Orthodontics: You might need adult braces or Invisalign aligners to move your teeth in the desired direction, thereby restoring optimal dental alignment and bite positioning. Invisalign is particularly suitable for adults because it’s visually invisible, so it doesn’t lead to self-consciousness and social anxiety.
Dental Veneers: If you have numerous aesthetic concerns, such as chipped teeth, visible fractures, minor alignment problems, and discoloration, your dentist might recommend dental veneers. These are porcelain chips attached to the front face of your teeth to transform their appearance.
Crowns & Bridges: Dental crowns are individual caps attached to existing teeth to protect them from damage, strengthen them after a root canal, or cover all the cosmetic concerns. Bridges are a series of fake teeth used to replace missing teeth. Crowns and bridges might be suitable for people with missing teeth.
Dental Implants: If you’re missing one, several, or all your teeth, you might be a suitable candidate for dental implants. These are posts attached to the jawbone to replace the missing teeth’ root structures. They function as the base for prosthetics, thereby replacing the missing teeth with more efficiency than all other procedures.
Bone Grafting: Some patients need bone grafting procedures to address problems associated with a receding jawbone. The jawbone usually starts disintegrating after a tooth loss or extraction. Bone grafting encourages bone regeneration, making your face look more youthful and allowing you to get dental implants.
Gum Contouring: You might need gum contouring if you have gingivitis or periodontal disease or if you’re unhappy with your “gummy smile.” This procedure removes excess gum tissues or improves the gum line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions may require a full mouth reconstruction?

Full mouth reconstruction is typically recommended for individuals experiencing widespread dental issues that impact both oral health and aesthetics. This includes cases of severe tooth wear due to grinding or acid erosion, multiple missing teeth, extensive decay, or trauma that has compromised the structure and function of your entire bite.

Chronic jaw pain related to TMJ dysfunction or misalignment may also warrant a comprehensive reconstructive approach. At Carlsbad Beach Dental, Dr. Drew Addy takes the time to understand the root cause of your symptoms to develop a personalized full mouth reconstruction plan that not only restores function but also delivers naturally beautiful results.

What procedures are involved in a full mouth reconstruction?

A full mouth reconstruction can involve a variety of restorative and cosmetic dental treatments, based on each individual’s unique needs. Common procedures may include dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays or onlays, and periodontal therapy.

In addition, adjustments to the bite (occlusal equilibration) and temporomandibular joint therapy are often included to improve function and relieve discomfort. At our Carlsbad, CA dental studio, patients benefit from having every phase of care completed under one roof, eliminating the need for referrals or excessive travel.

How long does a full mouth reconstruction take to complete?

The timeline for a full mouth reconstruction varies significantly depending on the complexity of your case and the individual treatments included in your plan. Some reconstructions can be completed in a matter of weeks, especially when using digital tools and CEREC technology. On the other hand, some treatments like dental implants may require at least 4-7 months and multiple dental visits.

No matter what treatments you need, Dr. Drew Addy takes a phased and thoughtful approach, prioritizing patient comfort and optimal outcomes at every step. Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at our luxury dental practice in Carlsbad Village, where advanced diagnostics and personal consultation are used to map out the full course of treatment. Every visit is designed to feel calm, comfortable, and focused entirely on your well-being.

Is full mouth reconstruction covered by dental insurance?

Insurance coverage for full mouth reconstruction depends largely on your specific plan and the medically necessary aspects of treatment. Procedures performed to restore health and function: such as crowns, root canals, or periodontal therapy, are more likely to receive at least partial coverage.

Aesthetic enhancements like porcelain veneers are usually considered elective and are not covered. Also, it’s important to note that almost all dental plans have an annual maximum. Once you reach this maximum, your plan may not cover additional treatment costs until the following year.

At Carlsbad Beach Dental, our experienced team works closely with you to navigate the insurance process and provides transparent financial options, so you can move forward with confidence. We believe restorative care shouldn’t come with uncertainty, and our concierge-style service reflects that commitment.
