The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process
The first step in your full mouth reconstruction process will be a consultation with your dentist. Dr. McBryde or Dr. Le will take the time to carefully listen to your concerns and learn about your expectations for treatment. Our team will thoroughly examine your mouth before we recommend any specific procedures. We will also use a wax model to help you visualize your end results before you commit to moving forward.
Here are some procedures that might be included as part of full mouth reconstruction:
- Gum disease treatment to fight infections of your gum tissue
- Dental implants or other forms of tooth replacement to fill in gaps in your smile
- Fillings, crowns, or other restorations to strengthen and repair damaged teeth
- Cosmetic services to give your restored smile its ideal look

Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs
How Long Does a Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedure Take?
A full mouth reconstruction can take several months to over a year, depending on the complexity of the case and the treatments involved. The process typically includes multiple stages like consultations, planning, and procedures such as veneers, crowns, implants, or orthodontics. Each treatment might require healing time between appointments.
For example, if dental implants are part of the plan, the healing process alone can take several months. Simpler cases that focus on veneers or crowns may take just a few weeks. We will provide you with a detailed timeline based on your individual needs and the scope of work required.
Do I Need a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Whether you need a full mouth reconstruction depends on the condition of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. Full mouth reconstruction is typically recommended for those with extensive dental issues such as severe tooth decay, multiple missing teeth, worn down or damaged teeth, or bite alignment problems that affect chewing or speech. It might also be suggested if you experience chronic pain or discomfort in your jaw.
A thorough examination, including X-rays and possibly other diagnostics, is essential to determine if full mouth reconstruction is necessary or if a less extensive treatment plan would suffice.
Does Getting a Full Mouth Reconstruction Hurt?
Getting a full mouth reconstruction generally involves minimal pain during the procedures because dentists use local anesthesia or sedation to keep you comfortable. You may feel pressure or slight discomfort during certain treatments, like dental implant surgery or crown placements, but pain is usually well-managed.
After each procedure, some discomfort, swelling, or sensitivity is normal, particularly if surgery or extensive dental work is involved. Pain can often be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, and we may prescribe medication if needed. Recovery times and levels of discomfort vary depending on the procedures involved, but we will guide you through post-treatment care to minimize pain.
Can I Get a Full Mouth Reconstruction if I Smoke?
Yes, you can get a full mouth reconstruction if you smoke, but smoking can significantly impact the success and healing process, especially for treatments like dental implants or gum surgery. Smoking reduces blood flow to the gums, which can delay healing, increase the risk of infections, and negatively affect long-term outcomes. For example, dental implants may fail to properly integrate with the bone in smokers.
Many dentists strongly recommend quitting or at least reducing smoking before and during the reconstruction process. This helps improve healing and overall oral health, ensuring better, longer-lasting results. We will assess your situation when we meet and provide advice tailored to your needs.
