Is Full Mouth Reconstruction Right for Me?
Many patients who experience ongoing dental problems lose hope that anything can be done to restore their teeth and gums. Your daily quality of life will suffer if you’re coping with advanced gum disease, tooth decay, damaged restorations, or tooth loss. These types of problems can prevent you from eating and speaking easily. Not only that, but you might also withdraw socially if you’re overly worried about how others will perceive you. Fortunately, your dentist believes that it’s never too late to find solutions to improve both your oral condition and your self-confidence.
The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process
You might hesitate to start the process if you’re not sure what’s involved. First, you’ll have a consultation with Dr. Hong so he can learn about your dental history, desires, and goals. Then, he’ll conduct an oral examination to determine your condition so he can provide individualized treatment recommendations. Using digital smile design technology, he can provide a mock-up of what the results would look like so you can decide between the various treatments. Suggested solutions can include:
- Gum disease remedies like scaling & root planing, or laser periodontal therapy.
- Tooth replacements like dental implants, bridges, or dentures.
- Fillings, dental crowns, or extractions to repair or remove overly damaged teeth.
- Cosmetic services to repair or mask imperfections like chips, fractures, discoloration, or minor misalignments and gaps.

Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs
How Long Will My Full Mouth Reconstruction Results Last?
There are two main factors that play a role in how long you can expect your full mouth reconstruction to last. The first are the treatments that you use to complete the reconstruction; some restorations tend to last longer than others. However, the biggest thing you’ll have to worry about is how well you take care of your smile.
If you want your results to last, you should make it a point to brush often and floss every day. You should also visit us for regular checkups every six months in order to help you protect your smile.
Does Getting a Full Mouth Reconstruction Hurt?
At every step of the full mouth reconstruction process, our main goal is to ensure your complete and total comfort. If there’s any risk of discomfort at any stage of the treatment, we will make it a point to numb your mouth completely in order to ensure that you won’t feel any pain for the duration of your time with us. We also offer sedation dentistry, which can put anxious patients at ease.
In some cases, it’s possible that you might be a little bit sore after your treatment is complete, so we’ll make it a point to give you the information that you need in order to get through aftercare with minimal discomfort.
Why Is My Dentist Recommending a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
If you’re being recommended a full mouth reconstruction, it’s usually because your dentist believes that your oral health will be best served by a combination of restorative and cosmetic treatments. For example, if you’re suffering from widespread tooth decay it may be necessary to use a combination of several fillings, crowns, root canals, and gum disease therapies to completely address the prevalence of the bacteria in your mouth.
That said, if you have any questions about the treatments that your dentist is recommending to you, you shouldn’t hesitate to ask them. We would be happy to explain the reason any given treatment would be necessary for you when we meet you in person.
How Do I Care for My Smile After Full Mouth Reconstruction?
No matter what your full mouth reconstruction looks like or the treatment it involves, one thing will remain the same: your teeth will need upkeep in order to remain in decent condition. While solid dental hygiene will get you most of the way there, you can make this process much easier by getting rid of some of negative habits that could harm your teeth. Grinding your teeth, chewing on ice, using your teeth as tools, and smoking can all have a negative impact on the quality of your teeth. If you have questions about how best to handle any of these treatments, give us a call and we’ll be happy to discuss them with you.
