What is full-mouth reconstruction?
Full-mouth reconstruction is a dental treatment designed to restore a smile that has been compromised by severe decay, injury, or damage. The goal of full-mouth reconstruction is to not only make your smile attractive but also to restore function and health.
During full-mouth reconstruction, your Santa Monica Bay Dental team restores, rebuilds, or replaces some or all of the teeth in your mouth.
To create a beautiful, healthy smile that brings you confidence and joy, the team may employ any number of restorative and cosmetic dental solutions, including:
- Dental bonding
- Dental bridges and crowns
- Dental fillings
- Complete or partial dentures
- Dental veneers
- Dental inlays or onlays
- Dental implants
- Root canal treatment
- Tooth extraction
- Periodontal disease treatment
The practice develops your personalized full-mouth reconstruction by first consulting with you to discuss your goals for treatment. During your initial consultation, they also perform a thorough oral exam and ask you about your medical history.
Is full-mouth reconstruction right for me?
Full-mouth reconstruction is a great option for people who want to recover the look or function of smiles damaged by things like:
- Decay
- Failing fillings
- Broken and broken teeth
- Cracked and fractured teeth
- Missing teeth

Another group of full-mouth reconstruction candidates is those who have sustained dental damage or trauma due to injury.
How long does full mouth reconstruction take?
The Santa Monica Bay Dental team typically uses several different restoratives and cosmetic dentistry treatments to complete a full-mouth reconstruction. In order to achieve high-quality results, they perform these treatments in phases.
Your mouth, teeth, gums, and bones need time to heal between treatments. All in all, the process can take several weeks to several months to complete. For more information, consult the practice. Full-mouth reconstruction requires a time commitment, but it’s a worthy investment.
