Full Mouth Reconstruction
CONSTRUCTING YOUR

Full mouth reconstruction also known as full mouth rehabilitation, is the process of rebuilding or restoring all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. This dental procedure involves general or restorative dentists making crowns, bridges, implants and veneers and often incorporates dental specialists.

For whatever dental problems you may have, this procedure has many advantages, including:
- Boosts confidence through a new, radiant smile
- Improves oral and general health
- Allows for better function and chewing
Through full mouth restoration, you can get back to great oral health after just a few visits to our San Antonio Dental office!
Before The Procedure
Teeth
Inspected to see if there is any tooth decay, wear or damage, or any aesthetic repairs needed.
Gums
Gum health is very important to the health of teeth and mouth. Gums will be checked for gum disease.
Jaws
A bad bite may cause pain or impact teeth alignment.
During The Procedure
This can also be referred to as a rapid full mouth restoration. It allows the individual to restore all teeth during one or two visits to give the mouth a uniform look. The procedure will vary depending on what is needed.
Crowns
First, the dentist will make an impression of the mouth, then the mold will be sent off to have the crowns or caps made. Temporary crowns, caps, or dentures may be required for up to six weeks. Then at the second appointment, porcelain crowns replace the temporary ones.
Implants
If the patient needs implants, they will be placed once the tooth extraction occurs, and the mouth has healed and is ready for the implant. The titanium dental implants are placed into the jawbone. The implant allows the new tooth to be placed permanently into the jawbone.
Jaw
If there are jaw problems, the dentist may recommend an orthotic appliance to adjust the patient’s bite for a few weeks or months. It helps restore the natural bite along with the dental restorations.
