Full mouth reconstruction involves the process of rebuilding or simultaneously restoring all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws.
The need for full mouth reconstruction may result from:
- Teeth that have been lost due to decay or trauma.
- Teeth that have been injured or fractured.
- Teeth that have become severely worn as a result of long-term acid erosion (foods, beverages, acid reflux) or tooth grinding.
- Ongoing complaints of jaw, muscle, and headache pain requiring adjustments to the bite (occlusion)
A full mouth reconstruction can seem daunting at first, but with a professional dental team at your back, the process can be much smoother and more efficient than you might think. With years of experience in the dental industry, Dr. Doris Giraldo and her team are confident that they can help you with even the most complicated full mouth reconstruction procedures.

- Is dealing with serious periodontal disease

- Has many damaged or fractured teeth
- Is facing severe decay and erosion in their teeth
- Has extremely sensitive teeth that cause headaches
- Experienced an injury that led to tooth loss

What procedures are needed for full mouth reconstruction?
Dr. Giraldo specializes in full mouth reconstruction and can determine what procedures are needed for your specific case. Other treatments may also be available, so ask Dr. Giraldo about all possible procedures that might be required for your case and under what circumstances.
Most full mouth reconstructions involve multiple phases and office visits. The following procedures may be involved, depending on your needs:
- Prophylactic teeth cleaning and periodontal care.
- Crown lengthening to expose healthy, sound tooth structure for possible dental crowns or bridges.
- Gum contouring to create balance and harmony in your smile.
- Preparation (reduction) of your natural tooth structure so crowns, bridges, or porcelain veneers can be placed.
- Placement of temporary restorations so you can become accustomed to your new teeth and the feel of your new mouth or bite alignment.
- Placement of permanent restorations, such as crowns, veneers, inlays/onlays, or bridges, made from ceramic, ceramic supported by metal, or a combination of both.
- Orthodontics such as Invisalign in order to move your teeth into the optimal position for reconstruction.
- Implant placement and restoration to replace missing teeth and/or anchor bridge restorations.
- Bone grafting or soft tissue grafting to enhance the stability of your teeth, proposed dental implants and/or other restorations.
Depending on the current condition of your teeth, a full mouth reconstruction may need to be completed over a series of procedures. However, if your teeth aren’t suffering from too many different issues, then it’s completely possible to be done with a full reconstruction in just a handful of treatments. We understand that it can be daunting to think about visiting our dental office for so many different procedures, but with our friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere, we’re confident that you’ll be comfortable throughout the entire process.
