Full Mouth Reconstruction in Roslyn, NY and the Surrounding Community

Woman smiling while getting teeth checkedFull mouth rehabilitation, sometimes called full mouth reconstruction, is one of the most complex dental procedures available. If a patient’s dental damage is so extensive that they need a complete set of replacement teeth on the upper or lower jaw, restoration is the solution. Full mouth rehabilitation includes removing any remaining teeth and replacing them. It requires multiple appointments and may take several weeks or months to complete depending on the extensiveness of the damage being repaired.

Full mouth reconstruction must consider the entire oral system, including how you speak, eat, chew, and smile. Your overall health and the state of your jawbone are also considered to create a full mouth reconstruction plan that will give you the best possible results.

Full mouth rehab is not just a cosmetic procedure. While it does offer cosmetic benefits, including natural-looking teeth that are straight and stain-free, the primary goal of full mouth reconstruction is to restore proper form and function to your mouth so that you can eat, drink, and speak properly. It also protects your teeth and gums from future damage and prevents further deterioration of your teeth. Most full mouth rehab plans include both restorative and cosmetic dentistry.

Who Can Get Full Mouth Rehab?

Full mouth rehab can restore function and esthetics if you suffer from significant oral health issues such as multiple missing teeth, severe gum disease, multiple failing fillings, cracked and broken teeth, and badly worn teeth. It is also an option for patients who have damage from facial trauma or who have congenital conditions such as Amelogenesis or Dentinogenesis.

If you are in good health and have sufficient jawbone to support implants, you can undergo full mouth reconstruction with dental implants. If the jawbone is insufficient to support the implants, you may need bone grafts first.

Full Dental Rehabilitation Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a full mouth rehab cost?

The price range is considerable because there are so many options. The price of a full mouth of upper and lower dental implants is higher than dental bridges and crowns. The only way to know what to expect is to meet with Dr. Gardner. He will perform a complete oral exam, take digital 3D images to determine which options are best for you, and review pricing at an initial consultation.

What is the difference between a smile makeover and full mouth reconstruction?

Both procedures can utilize a wide range of dental treatments, including implants, crowns, bridges, gum grafting, veneers, and more. However, a full mouth restoration focuses on whole-mouth help and improved function. It is considered essential for restoring function and improving your health. A smile makeover is a cosmetic procedure focusing on improving the appearance of your smile and is an elective procedure.

Is full mouth rehabilitation covered by insurance?

You may qualify for full or partial coverage for full mouth reconstruction depending on your coverage limits and whether your insurer considers the procedure medically necessary. Your insurer may cover some types of restoration but limit material choice, such as paying for dentures but not implants. Our office will work with you and your insurance company to ensure maximum coverage.

How long does full mouth reconstruction take?

Any full reconstruction is time-consuming, but the results are dramatic and worth the time investment. Implants take several months because of the healing time required, but dentures take only a few weeks. You may have to stagger some treatments while others can be done all at once. It is impossible to predict how long reconstruction will take without an evaluation and consultation to discuss what results you are seeking.
