What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive dental treatment designed to restore all or most of the teeth in the upper and lower jaws. It typically involves dental implants, fixed bridges, or All-on-4 systems to rebuild function, health, and aesthetics.
For many U.S. patients, full mouth reconstruction is recommended when there is:
- Severe tooth loss
- Advanced periodontal disease
- Failing crowns or bridges
- Extensive dental decay
- Long-term denture use
