Full-mouth reconstruction refers to the comprehensive restoration of all teeth in the upper and lower arches. This treatment combines multiple restorative procedures to rebuild the bite, address joint function and restore oral health. It is typically recommended for patients with extensive tooth wear, multiple missing teeth, widespread decay or trauma-related damage.
Our dentist will perform a full-mouth reconstruction with an emphasis on function, symmetry and long-term durability. Each case is planned based on clinical diagnostics, bite alignment and individual health factors.
Key Components and Clinical Planning
A full-mouth reconstruction plan typically integrates several restorative and functional procedures. These are determined after diagnostic assessments and may involve both hard and soft tissue considerations.
The process generally includes:
- Digital imaging (CBCT, intraoral scans) for baseline analysis
- Bite registration and occlusal analysis
- Periodontal charting to assess gum and bone health
- Selection of restorative methods based on remaining tooth structure
- Sequential planning to phase treatment over multiple visits
When jaw dysfunction or joint instability is present, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) evaluations and occlusal therapy are included in the treatment plan. Restorative materials are chosen for compressive strength, longevity and biocompatibility.
The Treatment Process
Treatment begins with a detailed consultation to assess structural needs, facial balance and overall health. At John Savukinas, DDS, the process is guided by precision diagnostics and treatment sequencing. Our dentist will create a tailored roadmap that outlines required procedures, timelines and follow-up phases.
Provisional restorations are often placed initially to test bite alignment and aesthetics. These temporary restorations allow real-time adjustments before final materials are fabricated. The final phase includes delivery of custom restorations designed for full-arch function, stability and patient-specific occlusion.
Recovery timelines vary depending on the extent of treatment and whether surgical procedures are required. Our dentist will track healing and restorative integration through scheduled follow-up visits.
