Is Full Mouth Reconstruction Right for Me?

It’s never too late to improve your smile’s health, function, and looks. Even when your grin is heavily damaged, there’s the option of a full mouth reconstruction – a treatment that essentially rebuilds your teeth. To be specific, it would physically restore your mouth with restorative and cosmetic work. You’d then receive a smile that improves your overall quality of life.

Do note, though, that a full mouth reconstruction is complex and invasive. It’s thus best suited for those needing drastic care. In other words, the best candidates have one (or more) of the following:

  • Severe tooth damage or trauma, usually from an injury or accident
  • Advanced tooth decay or infection(s)
  • Missing teeth
  • Chronic oral conditions (gum disease, etc.)

The Full-Mouth Reconstruction Process

Since dental patients differ from each other, every full-mouth reconstruction is unique. However, each of these procedures always involves certain actions. These latter factors ensure the treatment is effective.

Generally, a full mouth reconstruction has three core steps. The first is the initial consultation, a dental visit that lets us learn your smile goals and oral health history. (This consult also helps us see if a reconstruction suits you.) If we approve your care, the next phase is the drafting of a custom treatment plan. After the plan is drafted, we’ll commence the final step: the actual procedures included in your reconstruction.

Given how it works, a full mouth reconstruction may involve procedures like:

  • Periodontal Therapy
  • Porcelain Veneers
  • Dental Crowns
  • Dental Implants
  • Teeth Whitening
  • Fixed Bridges

Understanding the Cost of a Full-Mouth Reconstruction

Of course, a full mouth reconstruction is different for each person. Its specifics will depend on your unique oral needs. So, the treatment’s price varies from patient to patient. That said, we won’t leave you guessing about your expenses. Our team will discuss the treatment cost with you during your consultation. Even better, they’ll take your budget into account.

Whatever the precise estimate, Dr. Devlin can make your reconstruction affordable. Our practice happily accepts dental insurance from many companies. In fact, we’re in-network with most major PPO plans! Otherwise, you can always try flexible financing via CareCredit or Sunbit – reliable third-party financiers. Through them, a patient can pay for a reconstruction in monthly installments.

How Long Does the Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedure Take?

The timeline for full mouth reconstruction varies from patient to patient. It depends on which procedures you are undergoing, as well as the extent of those procedures. Some treatments, such as fillings and dental bonding, require just a single appointment, while others, like dental implants, take place over the course of several months. We will do our best to plan your care in an efficient way, and we will try to perform multiple treatments concurrently when possible.

What Are the Full Mouth Reconstruction Steps?

The first step is a consultation with Dr. Devlin, an experienced restorative and cosmetic dentist in State College. Our team will learn about your needs, examine your mouth, and begin planning your treatment. We may recommend that you undergo a variety of procedures, perhaps including fillings, crowns, tooth replacement, and cosmetic services.

Once you get started with treatment, we will do our best to make sure you are comfortable as you travel on your journey toward a renewed smile.

Does Full Mouth Reconstruction Hurt?

Thanks to modern dental techniques, you can expect your procedures to be as comfortable as possible. For example, we may numb your mouth during certain treatments. In some cases, sedation may also be used.

Certain services can cause some soreness after they are completed. Sensitivity, swelling, and possibly even some bleeding may occur. Our team will give you instructions to help you enjoy a relatively easy and smooth recovery. For example, you may need to take pain medications, get plenty of rest, and adjust your eating habits.
