FULL MOUTH RESTORATION
Get your dream smile with our Full Mouth Restoration service!
What is a dental restoration?
Dental restoration is the part of dentistry that is responsible for repairing damaged teeth in their aesthetic and functional aspects. Advanced techniques allow full recovery even in cases of severe tooth deterioration.
Different treatments are used depending on the extent of the tooth damage. Dental restoration aims to preserve the patient’s natural teeth whenever possible.
What is a full-mouth restoration?
A full mouth restoration implies restoring 20 to 28 teeth. It may be needed to get teeth healthy, improve their looks, or replace them with dental implants due to decayed, missing, worn, or misaligned teeth.
In addition, this procedure usually responds to the patient’s desire for a cosmetic transformation of his/her smile. Likewise, patients with “eating issues” (they cannot eat what they like or can barely eat due to their dental problems) may ultimately get a full mouth restoration.
In brief, a full-mouth restoration improves the function and aesthetics of the masticatory system, and it is suitable for anyone with the conditions described above.
Although an All-On-4 may sometimes seem similar to a dental bridge, the bridge is usually a solution to a much smaller problem than the All-On-4.
Are there different types of dental restorations?
The procedure depends on each particular case. A complete mouth restoration or full mouth reconstruction gives a new smile, but patients need different dental procedures to get ultimate results.
They can require a combination of dental implants, dental crowns, veneers, root canals, periodontal treatment, gum surgery, sinus lift, bone grafts, or dental fillings.
Some other patients only need dental veneers to restore their smiles. In contrast, others may need an All-On-4/6 procedure (4 or 6 dental implants at the top, 4 or 6 at the bottom, and a metal frame superstructure with porcelain teeth) to make this possible.
After collecting information from X-rays, pictures, CT Scans, clinical exams, and the patient’s history, our dentists can determine what dental treatment plan is needed and what other options are possible for each case.
Alternatives to a full-mouth restoration
A full mouth restoration implies reconstructing the whole mouth, but some people do not need all their teeth done to improve their smile or to eat.
For example, a patient may need to get all his/her molars back but can keep his/her natural front teeth if they are okay. So, it depends on the assessment of each particular case.
After collecting information from x-rays, pictures, CT Scans, clinical exams, and the patient’s history, our dentists can determine what dental treatment plan is needed and what other options are possible for each case.
Through X-rays and CT Scans, your dentist can see in much more detail what the state of your teeth looks like.
Full mouth reconstruction process and how long does it take?
In the case of dental implants, patients must come two times.
The first trip is to place the dental implants, which takes one week. The second trip is to make the final teeth, which takes two weeks. A full mouth reconstruction usually takes two weeks if dental implants are not required.

How much does a full-mouth restoration cost?
The cost of a full mouth restoration depends on the dental treatments needed for each specific case, the dental materials used, and the techniques used.
After you meet with Dr. Meza to discuss your needs and goals, we can estimate your treatment cost.

The transformation of my mouth and smile was beyond my expectations!
