Full Mouth Reconstruction
 Full mouth reconstruction is a transformative solution for individuals with multiple missing, damaged, or severely worn teeth. At Cooley Smiles, we offer comprehensive full mouth reconstruction services to restore not just your smile’s appearance, but also its function, comfort, and health. Our team is committed to helping patients regain confidence and enjoy a renewed quality of life.
What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction refers to the complete restoration and rebuilding of a patient’s mouth using a combination of restorative and cosmetic dental procedures. While Cosmetic Dentistry mainly focuses on improving the look of your smile, full mouth reconstruction prioritizes the health, function, and structure of your teeth and gums—with aesthetic improvements being an important bonus.
Common treatments included in a complete dental restoration are:
| • |
Crowns - Restore the shape, strength, and function of damaged teeth.
|
| • |
Bridges - Replace one or more missing teeth and maintain the structure of the surrounding teeth.
|
| • |
Veneers - Thin shells that improve the appearance of teeth affected by chips, cracks, or discoloration.
|
| • |
Dental Implants - Permanent replacements for missing teeth that preserve jawbone health.
|
| • |
Dentures - Full or partial removable options to replace many missing teeth.
|
| • |
Orthodontics - Straighten teeth and correct bite issues before restorative procedures. |
By focusing on the complete health and functionality of your mouth, full mouth dental implants and other reconstruction services offer life-changing results.
Who Needs Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Patients who are experiencing extensive dental issues might be ideal candidates for dental reconstruction services. You may need full mouth reconstruction if you have:
| • |
Severe Tooth Wear - Often caused by acid erosion, bruxism (teeth grinding), or aging.
|
| • |
Multiple Missing Teeth - Resulting from injury, decay, or periodontal disease.
|
| • |
Advanced Gum Disease - Leading to bone loss and tooth instability.
|
| • |
Dental Trauma - Such as injuries from accidents or falls.
|
| • |
Congenital Conditions - Including disorders like amelogenesis imperfecta, affecting tooth development. |
Individuals with complicated medical or dental histories—including extensive decay or long-standing oral infections—may also benefit greatly from teeth replacement options.
What Procedures Are Involved?
Each full mouth reconstruction is customized based on your unique dental needs. The treatments might include:
| • |
Restorative Procedures - Such as full arch dental implants, crowns, and bridges to replace or repair teeth.
|
| • |
Cosmetic Treatments - Including veneers and bonding to enhance the aesthetics of your smile.
|
| • |
Orthodontic Treatments - To correct misalignments or bite issues before reconstruction.
|
| • |
Periodontal Treatments - Managing gum health to ensure a solid foundation for new restorations. |
Following a detailed consultation and imaging evaluation, our dental team will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition, ensuring the best outcomes for your advanced dental restoration.

Understanding the full mouth restoration process helps set realistic expectations. Here’s a general step-by-step overview:
