Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs

How Long Does Full Mouth Reconstruction Take?

A full mouth reconstruction can involve several different procedures to improve your smile’s functionality and appearance, and it’s natural to wonder how long they usually take. However, it depends significantly on your unique circumstances, like how many teeth are being repaired and the various treatments you undergo.

For instance, dental bonding to repair misshapen teeth can often be completed from start to finish in a single, hour-long appointment. Meanwhile, replacing missing chompers with dental implants can take 3 to 6 months because your mouth must generate enough new bone growth to fuse with the support rod for them to be successful.

Once our Kingwood Family Dentistry is finished with your examination, we’ll help you build a treatment plan and walk you through the details, like how long we expect it to take, before proceeding.  

How do I Know if I Need Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Potentially, anyone who is unhappy with their dental condition can benefit from different restorative and cosmetic procedures to upgrade their grins, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you need a full mouth reconstruction. Many patients can achieve their goals with minor enhancements, like teeth whitening to remove stubborn stains, or veneers to mask aesthetic imperfections.

We might recommend a full reconstruction if you have severely damaged or decayed teeth, significant oral health concerns, several or wider gaps, or extensive wear and tear to existing dental work.  

What Steps Are Involved in Full Mouth Reconstruction?

If you’re unsure how to begin this process, you can start by calling our office to schedule a consultation. When you arrive at the allotted time, we’ll update your medical history to ensure we don’t recommend anything that might interfere and discuss your different goals and concerns. Then, we’ll examine your mouth to identify which procedures can help you meet them based on your current condition.

Next, we’ll work with you to devise a treatment plan including all the recommended services, an estimated cost, an anticipated timeline, and any special care instructions you should follow before or following your visit.

How Long Will the Results from My Full Mouth Reconstruction Last?

The anticipated lifespan of your full mouth reconstruction depends on the different procedures you underwent and how well you care for your grin. You can generally extend the longevity of the results by brushing and flossing twice daily to consistently remove plaque and bacteria buildup that contribute to common oral issues, such as cavities or gum disease.

Also, you might want to avoid certain foods that could injure your teeth or leave them looking worse for wear. For instance, steer clear of overly hard foods that can chip or crack your enamel or restorations, as well as darkly pigmented foods that can stain your teeth different shades.

You should also schedule routine checkups and cleanings with our team every six months so we can monitor your status and catch any areas of concern, like thinning enamel or inflamed gums, before they worsen.
