Frequently asked questions about full mouth reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction, or restoration, is a process of restoring most or all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. This can be done for functional or aesthetic reasons or both. The goal of complete smile rehabilitation is to improve your smile’s overall health, function, and appearance.
Anyone unhappy with their smile’s function or appearance may be a candidate for full mouth reconstruction. However, it is vital that you consult with a qualified dentist or oral surgeon to determine if this treatment is right for you.
The benefits of full mouth reconstruction can vary depending on the individual. However, some common benefits include improved oral health, function, and aesthetics.
The first step in complete mouth rehabilitation is to consult with a qualified dentist or oral surgeon. During this consultation appointment, your dental team will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment options with you. Once you have decided to move forward with this treatment, your dentist will create a personalized treatment plan for you. This treatment plan might include a combination of dental procedures, such as crowns, bridges, implants, veneers, or orthodontics. The specific treatments used will depend on your individual needs and goals.

Generally speaking, no. Dental insurance plans have extremely low annual expense caps that might cover 10% of the cost over many years. Insurance coverage varies depending on your individual policy.

Our Preferred Patient Membership Plan is such an unlimited discount plan for only $40/month.
