Is a Full Mouth Reconstruction Right for You?
We typically recommend full mouth reconstructions for patients who require more extensive dental work, whether that’s rebuilding teeth that have been cracked, chipped, infected, or are missing entirely.
The process allows our smile restoration experts to provide you with a one-on-one consultation and treatment planning session to get your mouth back in working order. These plans typically include two or more of our restorative or cosmetic treatments and focus on rehabilitating your smile entirely, yielding life-changing results that can drastically improve your quality of life.
The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process
Step 1: Diagnostic Wax-Up & Aesthetic Evaluation
Preliminary impressions are made of your teeth and any underlying dental concerns are treated, like cavities. A diagnostic wax-up or tooth setup is made to help preview what the final restorations will look like after they’re placed in the mouth. After you approve the initial size, shape, and position of the teeth, the treatment sequence is determined. The goal of full-mouth dental treatment is the final restorations to match the initial diagnostic setup with slight improvements.
Step 2: Place Temporary Restorations
The teeth are prepared, and the dental implants are placed. Fixed temporary restorations matching the approved diagnostic setup are placed. After the temporary teeth have been secured within the mouth, minor changes can be made to the shape, size, and position of the teeth.
Step 3: Deliver the Final Restorations
After the final shades of the prosthetic have been chosen, the lab technicians fabricate the final crowns, bridges, or dentures. Once they have been made, the final restorations are delivered, and your finished results are achieved.

Because of this, the cost of this service can vary greatly depending on the extent of the dental damage you face and whether you have any chronic dental health concerns, like gum disease.

Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs
How Long Does a Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedure Take?
There are a number of factors that can determine the length of your full mouth reconstruction procedure from start to finish. These include how many teeth you need treated, and which services will be required to achieve your smile goals.
Another important factor that could influence the timeline is whether or not your procedures can be completed at the same time or must be done consecutively. For example, while an entire root canal procedure and dental crown placement can be completed over the course of several weeks, more complex services such as orthodontics or corrective jaw surgery will require more time.
If you have an upcoming milestone event or celebration, be sure to mention this to your dentist at your initial consultation appointment so your dental team can take that into account when formulating your treatment plan.
Do I Need a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
If you’re unhappy with the appearance and function of your smile, your dentist may recommend a full mouth reconstruction. This smile transforming treatment is extremely beneficial for anyone who needs extensive restorative cosmetic care, as it can provide you with a smile that is as healthy as it is beautiful.
However, ultimately the decision to get a full mouth restoration treatment will be up to you and your dentist.
Does Getting a Full Mouth Reconstruction Hurt?
At The DFW Dental Implant Center, it is our number one goal to provide our patients with a comfortable, stress-free experience.
Should you require a more complex treatment such as the placement of dental implants, a local anesthetic will be used to numb the area before any work begins.
If you are particularly anxious or afraid, we are proud to offer sedation dentistry options. Not only can this help keep your nerves at bay, but it can also help provide an additional layer of pain relief.
Some soreness and discomfort are normal following many procedures. To keep this at a minimum, your dental team will provide you with an extensive set of aftercare instructions. Though it may seem small, maintaining a soft diet following most treatments, avoiding hot beverages, and prioritizing rest can all make a dramatic impact on your comfort levels during recovery.
Can I Get a Full Mouth Reconstruction if I Smoke?
While candidacy for a full mouth reconstruction treatment is determined on a case-by-case basis, it is ultimately up to your dentist whether you can receive this treatment if you smoke.
Although smoking itself doesn’t automatically disqualify you, you will need to avoid tobacco products altogether in the weeks before and after your procedures. That’s because cigars, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, and vaping fluid can all inhibit your mouth’s ability to properly heal. This can increase your likelihood of complications such as dental implant failure.
If you need help quitting a tobacco habit, reach out to your primary care physician for assistance.
