What is Full-Mouth Reconstruction?
Full-Mouth Reconstruction is the process of combining multiple services to create a treatment plan that addresses the many problem areas of your smile. Using your set budget and specified timeline, our team will work with you to formulate a plan that meets your needs and helps you achieve a showstopping, beautiful, and healthy smile.
What Can I Expect with Full-Mouth Reconstruction?
When dealing with a multitude of issues that negatively impact your ability to perform regular oral functions (i.e. speaking, eating, chewing, smiling), it is time to consider how full-mouth reconstruction can benefit you. Dr. LaCap and her team will take the time to discuss your concerns and goals as well as perform a thorough examination of your oral cavity and facial structure.
After spending much time going over your comfort level with regard to budget and timeline, we will select the treatment options we believe are right for you. Some of these may include:
- Crown/Bridge
- Onlays & Inlays
- Porcelain Veneers
- Dental Implants
- Dentures
In order to formulate the most accurate and precise plan for you, we will likely require digital X-Rays as well as use additional technology to determine the placement and feasibility of certain treatments. Our team will also spend time discussing your current health and whether you are experiencing any discomfort as a result of the problems present in your mouth. This information is necessary for us to have a complete picture to best identify which treatments will help to restore your smile and improve its functionality and health.

Full Mouth Reconstruction
Do I Need a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
If you are unhappy with the appearance and function of the smile, your dentist will likely recommend a full mouth reconstruction. This treatment is especially beneficial for patients who need extensive restorative and cosmetic care to achieve a smile that is both healthy and aesthetically pleasing. The best way to find out if full mouth reconstruction is right for you is to attend a consultation with us. We will go over your smile concerns and examine your mouth to determine the best route to take to achieve your goals.
Does Getting Full Mouth Reconstruction Hurt?
Many patients are hesitant to commit to treatment because they are worried that their procedure will be painful. Fortunately, we always do everything we can to make your treatment as comfortable as possible. For many procedures, a local anesthetic is administered beforehand to numb the area. We also offer oral conscious sedation for patients who are especially anxious or need more extensive treatment. Some soreness is possible following your procedure, but by closely following your post-op instructions, you should heal as quickly and comfortably as possible.
How Do I Care for My Smile After Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Everyone’s treatment is a little bit different, but they all require consistent care to stay in optimal condition. After your treatment, you need to implement a solid at-home oral hygiene routine. This means brushing twice, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash every day. You should also avoid unhealthy dental habits, like biting your nails, grinding your teeth, and smoking. Lastly, you should be seeing your dentist every six months for routine cleanings and checkups. If an issue comes up, it can be addressed sooner rather than later.
How long does full mouth reconstruction take?
Every person’s smile is completely different, so there isn't any way to know how long it will take without first scheduling a consultation with your dentist. Full mouth reconstruction involves one or more cosmetic or restorative treatments. Some procedures can be done in a single visit, while others can take multiple appointments. Complex cases can take longer than those only needing minor improvements. After examining your mouth and creating a personalized treatment plan, your cosmetic dentist in Bergenfield will explain the timeline for your new smile. We know your time is valuable, which is why our office embraces the latest technologies and techniques to streamline your treatment. You can ensure there aren't any delays in your journey to a beautiful smile by maintaining your appointments and following your dentist’s aftercare instructions.
