- You are struggling with complex or multiple dental problems, such as broken teeth, missing teeth, gum disease, or a range of other issues.
- You would like to invest in streamlined treatment, rather than getting issues repaired here and there.
- You are interested in improving your overall wellness. Full mouth reconstruction may have benefits for your overall health and your emotional well-being.
The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process
The process begins when you visit your dentist in Needham for a consultation. Our team will thoroughly examine your mouth and perhaps use our CBCT scanner to get a three-dimensional, highly detailed view of your oral structures. Once we are familiar with your situation, we will be able to design a treatment plan. If you have any questions or specific goals for your treatment, be sure to speak up. We will strive to accommodate your wishes to the best of our ability.
Some of the services that are commonly part of full mouth reconstruction include:
- Dentures, bridges, or dental implants to replace lost teeth
- Fillings or crowns to renew the strength and function of damaged teeth
- Gum disease therapy to get rid of dangerous infection in the gum tissue
- Bonding, veneers, or other cosmetic procedures to put the finishing touches on your smile
Understanding the Cost of Full Mouth Reconstruction
The cost of full mouth reconstruction depends largely on which restorative services you choose to undergo. If you just need a few crowns or a traditional denture, your cost may be less than if you require oral surgery or other complex procedures. Our team will provide you with candid cost estimates for every phase of your treatment, and we will help you explore your payment options. We are insurance-friendly, and we have an in-house discount plan for patients without insurance. If you are interested in financing, we can help you apply for a low-interest monthly payment plan through CareCredit.
Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs
How long does a full mouth reconstruction procedure take?
The timeline for full mouth reconstruction in our Needham office is highly dependent on the details of each unique case. If you need extensive services, such as orthodontia or dental implants, you can expect your treatment course to last several months or longer. If you require lighter, faster services, the process may be much shorter.
During your consultation, we can estimate how long your full mouth reconstruction might take. We encourage you to be patient. Although it can seem like a long road, the results are worth it!
How long will my full mouth reconstruction results last?
Full mouth reconstruction aims to provide long-term improvements to oral health and function. Dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime, whereas crowns and bridges may last a decade or longer.
Our team can provide personalized coaching to help you care for your new smile so it lasts as long as possible. Thorough oral hygiene is a must. A balanced diet and regular dental checkups are also important. If you ever believe there is a problem with one of your treatments, let us know right away so we might be able to get ahead of the issue and solve it before it seriously compromises your oral health and comfort.
Does full mouth reconstruction hurt?
We use local anesthesia and other provisions to make procedures as comfortable as possible. During your appointments, you should feel little to no pain.
After any local anesthesia wears off, you can expect to experience some soreness. This is especially true after invasive treatments like dental implant surgery, tooth extractions, and other services that require modification of your oral tissues. Discomfort may last anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. In the meantime, you can take pain relievers. Getting enough rest and eating a soft, mild diet can also be helpful. Our team will provide detailed post-treatment instructions to support your recovery.
Can I get full mouth reconstruction if I smoke?
Smoking is damaging to the oral tissues and can interfere with your ability to heal after invasive procedures. We strongly encourage you to make every effort to quit.
With that being said, smoking does not automatically disqualify you from full mouth reconstruction services. We determine candidacy for treatment on a case-by-case basis. Your overall health is much more important than any single health factor.
Will people be able to tell that I had full mouth reconstruction?
The restorations we use in full mouth reconstruction use high-quality materials that bear a strong resemblance to natural tooth enamel. We design crowns, bridges, and dentures with the goal of making them both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Onlookers may notice the beauty of your smile, but their first thought is unlikely to be about the work behind it.
