Full-Mouth Reconstruction
When multiple dental issues impact your ability to chew, speak, or smile with confidence, full-mouth reconstruction offers a transformative solution. At our dental practice in Wilsonville, OR, our experienced team of dentists provides comprehensive full-mouth reconstruction services tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Whether you’re dealing with missing teeth, worn enamel, bite problems, or jaw discomfort, we have the expertise and technology to restore your oral health and rejuvenate your smile.
What Is Full-Mouth Reconstruction?
Full-mouth reconstruction—sometimes referred to as full-mouth rehabilitation or restoration—is a customized treatment plan that combines multiple dental procedures to rebuild or replace all teeth in the upper and lower jaws. Unlike cosmetic dentistry, which focuses primarily on aesthetics, full-mouth reconstruction addresses both functional and structural issues, often involving restorative, periodontal, endodontic, and prosthodontic treatments.
Common Conditions That May Require Full-Mouth Reconstruction:
Severe tooth decay or widespread dental damage
Multiple missing teeth
Advanced gum disease (periodontitis)
Teeth worn down from grinding (bruxism) or acid erosion
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
Congenital conditions affecting oral structure
Comprehensive Evaluation and Personalized Planning
Every full-mouth reconstruction at our Wilsonville dental office begins with a thorough evaluation. Our multi-disciplinary team of dentists collaborates to examine your teeth, gums, bite, jaw alignment, and facial aesthetics. Using advanced diagnostic tools—including 3D imaging, digital X-rays, and intraoral cameras—we gain a complete understanding of your oral health.
From there, we develop a personalized treatment plan that prioritizes function, health, and long-term success. Each step of the process is explained in detail, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Treatment Options Involved in Full-Mouth Reconstruction
Because every patient’s needs are different, full-mouth reconstruction may involve a wide range of dental procedures. Below are the most common treatments we offer as part of a comprehensive plan:
1. Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth by anchoring prosthetic crowns directly into the jawbone. They offer superior strength, longevity, and a natural appearance.
2. Crowns and Bridges
Porcelain crowns and bridges restore damaged or missing teeth, protecting the tooth structure and restoring bite functionality while blending seamlessly with your natural smile.
3. Root Canal Therapy
If infection has reached the inner pulp of a tooth, root canal treatment removes the damaged tissue to save the tooth and prevent further issues.
4. Periodontal Therapy
Gum health is foundational. We offer deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), laser therapy, and other periodontal treatments to treat gum disease and ensure healthy support for your teeth.
5. Orthodontics and Occlusal Adjustment
Misalignment or bite issues can lead to discomfort and uneven wear. We may recommend Invisalign® or traditional braces to correct positioning and promote balance.
6. Dentures (Partial or Full)
For patients missing several or all teeth, high-quality dentures—supported by implants or designed for daily wear—offer a comfortable, functional solution.
7. Veneers and Cosmetic Restorations
To enhance the final appearance of your smile, we may recommend porcelain veneers, bonding, or whitening treatments that complement the restorative work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does full-mouth reconstruction take?
The timeline varies based on the complexity of your treatment. Some patients complete the process in a few months, while others may require up to a year or more. Your dentist will provide a personalized timeline during your consultation.
Is full-mouth reconstruction painful?
We prioritize patient comfort and offer sedation options as needed. While some discomfort may follow certain procedures, most patients report minimal pain and manageable recovery times.
Will insurance cover full-mouth reconstruction?
Many components of full-mouth reconstruction are considered medically necessary and may be partially covered by dental insurance. Our office will help you navigate your coverage and offer financing solutions to fit your budget.
Can I get full-mouth reconstruction if I have gum disease?
Yes, but gum disease must be treated first. Periodontal therapy is often the initial step in a full-mouth reconstruction plan to ensure a healthy foundation for other restorations.
Is full-mouth reconstruction the same as a smile makeover?
No, while both involve multiple procedures, a smile makeover is elective and focuses primarily on cosmetic improvements. Full-mouth reconstruction is a medically necessary approach to restore function and health.
