What is a full mouth reconstruction?

A full mouth reconstruction is a dental treatment plan designed by the team at Sunrise Dental to improve and protect your oral health. It involves a customized series of advanced dental procedures, typically created by your dentist when you have an extensive oral disease or dental damage. 

Your full mouth reconstruction plan includes a specific timetable that allows for optimal healing between each procedure. The entire process typically takes several months, but the results include a healthy, vibrant smile.

Why do I need a full mouth reconstruction?

The team at Sunrise Dental may recommend a full mouth reconstruction if you have advanced dental disease or poor oral health that requires several dental procedures. 

You may need a full mouth reconstruction if you have: 

  • Extensive tooth loss
  • Profound tooth decay
  • Significant bone or gum loss
  • Severe tooth or jaw pain
  • Severe misalignment
  • Damaged teeth due to grinding or erosion
  • Tooth- or jaw-related neck pain or headaches
  • Multiple teeth that are damaged, fractured, or broken 

If you have one or more of these dental issues, the Sunrise Dental team develops a full mouth reconstruction plan that may include a wide range of simple to advanced treatments. 

What does a full mouth reconstruction include?

Your full mouth reconstruction may involve a coordinated effort between multiple providers and specialties, including cosmetic, periodontic, and general dentistry. During your initial consultation, the Sunrise Dental team outlines your full mouth reconstruction plan, which may include the following restorative or cosmetic procedures:

  • Deep cleaning
  • Root canal
  • Crowns, veneers, or dental implants
  • All-on-4® implants
  • Sealant placement 
  • Teeth whitening
  • Tooth extraction 
  • Wisdom tooth removal 
  • Dentures or bridges 
  • Invisalign®

Sunrise Dental uses the Biolase® Epic X™ diode laser and the Biolase® iPlus® all-tissue laser to perform various hard and soft-tissue surgeries, disinfect periodontal pockets during scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) procedures by helping to kill more bacteria, and treat infections or biopsy lesions. 

Lasers are a state-of-the-art technology that improves patient comfort and outcomes, with faster healing times than many traditional methods. Sunrise Dental’s highly-skilled periodontist also provides the highest quality periodontal services, including correcting gummy smiles, areas of gum recession, and performing bone grafts, frenectomies, and sinus lift surgeries.

Depending on which treatments you need, you may wait several weeks between procedures to heal. The team outlines each step of your full mouth reconstruction plan and helps you anticipate the recovery time and cost of each phase in advance.
