What can I expect during my full mouth reconstruction?
The first step in having a full mouth reconstruction is to schedule a consultation with the dental team to determine what treatments you’d need. They’ll take X-rays of your mouth and make models of any remaining teeth.
Some of the most common procedures done during a full mouth reconstruction include:
- Cavity fillings
- Dentures
- Dental crowns
- Dental bridges
- Scaling and root planing
- Dental implants
- Orthodontic care
- Root canal therapy
- Dental veneers

Because of the extensive amount of procedures involved, your full mouth reconstruction can take multiple visits throughout a number of months to complete.
What can I expect after my full mouth reconstruction?
It’s important you focus on developing proper oral health habits such as brushing your teeth twice a day along with flossing and using mouthwash once a day. Additionally, it’s important you have semiannual dental checkups. This is where your dentist can check to see if any of your dental work needs repairs.
