Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs
Full Mouth Reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment approach designed to restore both the aesthetics and function of a patient’s smile. Often referred to as a ‘smile makeover’, the process involves a combination of restorative, cosmetic, and sometimes surgical dental procedures.
A full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive dental treatment plan that addresses multiple issues across your entire mouth—teeth, gums, bite, and sometimes jaw joints. It’s designed for patients who have extensive wear, many missing or broken teeth, bite problems, or a combination of these and want to restore both function and appearance. At Layton Dentistry, this approach is used to rebuild your smile in a way that supports long-term oral health and comfort.
The process begins with a thorough evaluation: the dentist checks your bite, tooth condition, gum health, jaw joint function, and how all parts of your mouth are working together. After your unique situation is mapped out, the plan may include restorations like crowns, bridges, implants, veneers, and bite adjustments. Two key phases include:
- Preparation and structural work (such as removing non-restorable teeth, treating gum disease, placing implants if needed).
- Restorative work (placing crowns/bridges/veneers, balancing your bite, finalizing aesthetics and function).
It’s tailored to your goals, and at Layton Dentistry you’ll be guided through each step with the aim of a beautiful and healthy outcome.
Good candidates are individuals whose dental problems span beyond a single tooth or area—such as those with generalized tooth wear, missing teeth in multiple locations, significant bite problems or collapsing facial structure. At Layton Dentistry, candidacy also depends on gum and bone health, your general health, and your commitment to follow-up care. Because the scope is broad, it’s important to consider that the treatment may span multiple appointments and involve both restorative and possibly surgical procedures.
There are several important advantages:
- You restore proper chewing and speaking function by replacing or repairing many teeth instead of fixing issues one-by-one.
- You enhance overall oral health, because aligning your bite and restoring structure reduces future damage, wear, or breakdown.
At Layton Dentistry, the goal is not just to improve your smile’s appearance but to set your mouth up for long-term stability and comfort.
