Full mouth reconstruction is a complex dental procedure designed to improve both the functionality and aesthetics of a patient’s teeth. At Dallas Laser Dentistry, we specialize in providing top-notch care for those needing extensive dental restoration. Below, we answer some common questions about full mouth reconstruction.
Q: What is full mouth reconstruction?
A: Also known as full mouth restoration, this procedure involves rebuilding or restoring all the teeth in a patient’s mouth. This comprehensive treatment plan addresses various dental issues such as decayed teeth, worn teeth, missing teeth, or teeth damaged by trauma. The goal is to enhance both oral health and appearance, improving the patient’s quality of life.
Q: Who needs full mouth reconstruction?

- Teeth with extensive decay
- Severely worn teeth due to bruxism (teeth grinding)

Q: What is the process for full mouth reconstruction at Dallas Laser Dentistry?
A: The process begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which we conduct a thorough examination, take X-rays, and discuss the patient’s concerns and goals. We then develop a customized treatment plan, which may span several appointments over weeks or months. Advanced technologies like laser dentistry and digital imaging ensure precision and comfort throughout the procedure.
Q: How long does full mouth reconstruction take?
A: The duration of full mouth reconstruction varies depending on the complexity of the individual case. Simple cases may take a few months, while more complex reconstructions can take up to a year or more. Each phase of treatment is carefully planned to ensure the best outcomes.
