How Full Mouth Reconstruction Works
Our Plano dentists tailor each treatment to the patient’s needs in order to:
A full mouth reconstruction can resolve all types of oral health issues, from tooth misalignment and jaw joint disorders to gum disease and infections. Treating these issues can prevent further damage and avoid tooth loss.
Missing or badly damaged teeth make it difficult to eat a balanced diet and lead a healthy lifestyle. By restoring balance, strength, and integrity to your smile, a full mouth reconstruction can help you bite and chew normally again.
While full mouth reconstruction is a practical treatment, we take care to make the results look as natural as possible. You can choose to incorporate cosmetic dentistry treatments into your plan to further enhance the look of your smile.
Am I a Candidate for Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Our dentists can address these issues in a way that makes your smile as healthy – or in some cases, healthier – than it was prior to trauma.

Common Procedures Included in a Full Mouth Reconstruction
Our Plano dentists have many options available to rebuild all aspects of your smile and bite. Below are some of the most common treatments included in these dental plans:
Once we remove decayed tissue, fillings, inlays, and onlays can rebuild tooth structure, helping you bite and chew painlessly. These solutions are carefully crafted to look natural.
Severe decay and structural damage can be treated with a crown. Dental crowns cap teeth, protecting the underlying structure from harm and restoring tooth function. Durable porcelain crowns offer patents both restorative and cosmetic dentistry benefits.
A root canal infection occurs when an advanced cavity allows oral bacteria to reach the pulp within a tooth. Left untreated, the infection spreads to the jaw and other parts of the mouth. Root canal therapy (endodontics) removes the diseased pulp and saves the exterior of the tooth, which is restored with a crown.
Problems affecting teeth can cause more immediate issues, yet the health of your gums cannot be neglected. If you suffer from gingivitis, periodontitis, or gum recession, our dentists can help. We can help you resolve or control gum disease to rebuild a healthy smile foundation.
A missing tooth affects your smile as well as your ability to bite and chew. To fill the gap and improve function, a dental bridge can be placed. The bridge consists of a false tooth that fits in the gap. Crowns cap teeth adjacent to the gap, securing the bridge in place.
If you are missing most or all of your teeth, custom dentures can restore function and aesthetics. This restoration is designed to replace most or all of the teeth on your upper or lower dental arch.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed in the jaw. Implants can support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants provide outstanding stability for false teeth, and they also prevent the bone atrophy that follows tooth loss.
Jaw joint disorders are complicated and can have many causes. Our dentists can diagnose and treat TMJ disorders (TMD) using advanced diagnostic tools and therapies.
The Cost of Full Mouth Reconstruction: Payment and Financing Options
The cost of a full mouth reconstruction varies from one case to another. During your visit to our Plano practice, we can explain the cost factors. The most significant factors include:
Premium Options
The procedures performed affect the cost of care. For example, a denture supported by dental implants is more expensive than a traditional denture. Premium options often carry a higher price tag, but the results justify the added expense.
Insurance Coverage
Many restorative procedures are covered by dental insurance, which reduces the out-of-pocket cost of your full mouth reconstruction. Since plans vary, we will work with your insurance provider to maximize your coverage.
Dental Financing
Financing through LendingClub and CareCredit® can help make any expenses not covered by insurance affordable. These lenders divide the total cost of care into more affordable monthly installments with reasonable interest rates.
Your Specific Needs
In short, the more issues affecting your smile, the more you can probably expect to pay for treatment. We will patiently explain your options and help you budget for treatment so you can experience the benefits of this comprehensive treatment.
General Treatment Timeline for Full Mouth Reconstruction
Treatment times for full mouth reconstruction can vary depending on the procedures involved. We will explain the estimated treatment time during your consultation at our Plano office. Below is a general full mouth reconstruction timeline:
During your consultation, we will perform a complete exam with advanced imaging to identify areas of concern. We might also begin preliminary treatment, such as periodontal care or addressing areas of decay.
Based on the initial consultation, our dentists will plan your full mouth reconstruction. We will determine how to stage treatments for optimal results, and take your schedule and preferences into account.
If your treatment involves dental crowns, bridges, or dentures, we take highly detailed impressions of your teeth and measure your bite. This information will be used to create a model of your restorations.
Depending on your needs, the reconstructive procedures may take place over several appointments. If you need bone grafting or dental implants, these procedures will require several months of recovery time.
We may place temporary restorations to help you chew and smile confidently while your teeth heal. You may need these temporaries anywhere from weeks to several months, depending on the procedures in your plan.
Our trusted lab usually takes two to four weeks to create custom restorations and appliances. Once they are ready, you will return to our office so we can bond them in place. You can then begin enjoying your restored smile.
