At Mesa Dental Group in San Diego, Dr. Cherishma Jami, Dr. Craig Deagle, and Dr. Cameron Hamidi help patients understand their options and develop treatment plans tailored to their dental needs, goals, and lifestyle. Our team uses digital technology to evaluate your smile, explain treatment recommendations, and help you know what to expect throughout the process.
Who May Need Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction may be appropriate for patients with several dental problems affecting how their teeth look or function. You may benefit from a comprehensive treatment plan if you have:
- Multiple missing teeth
- Damaged, broken, or severely worn teeth
- Failing crowns or other older dental restorations
- Extensive dental work that no longer functions as intended
- Problems with chewing or bite function
- Several teeth that need to be restored or replaced
Because every smile is different, full mouth reconstruction is not a single procedure. Your treatment plan may involve several types of dental care depending on the condition of your teeth, gums, bite, and supporting structures.
Why Patients Choose Mesa Dental Group
Patients undergoing extensive dental treatment often appreciate having a team that explains each stage clearly and keeps their long-term oral health in mind.
Mesa Dental Group offers a clean, modern environment with amenities such as blankets, free Wi-Fi, water, and coffee. Our team also works to schedule treatment efficiently and answer questions throughout the process.
Our technology includes:
- Digital X-rays for detailed dental imaging
- Intraoral cameras that provide close-up views of your teeth
- A TRIOS digital scanner for comfortable digital impressions and treatment planning
When treatment requires multiple visits, clear communication and thoughtful planning can make the process easier to understand and manage.
Full Mouth Reconstruction Options
A full mouth reconstruction may include several treatments. The right combination depends on which teeth can be preserved, which need to be replaced, and your goals for appearance and function.
Crowns and Veneers
Crowns can restore damaged or weakened teeth, while veneers may be used to improve the appearance of selected teeth. These treatments may be included in a smile makeover when natural teeth can be preserved.
Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures replace multiple missing teeth without requiring dental implants. They may be an option for patients seeking a removable, non-surgical tooth replacement.
Snap-On Dentures
Snap-on dentures, also called overdentures, attach to dental implants for greater stability than traditional removable dentures. They may provide a balance between removable dentures and more extensive implant-supported restorations.
All-on-X and Teeth in a Day
All-on-X and Teeth in a Day treatments use dental implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. Depending on your dental health and treatment plan, implant-supported teeth may provide greater stability and chewing function than traditional dentures.
During your consultation, our team will explain the benefits, limitations, timing, and costs associated with your recommended options.
What to Expect During Full Mouth Reconstruction
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Our team may use digital X-rays, an intraoral camera, and a TRIOS digital scanner to evaluate your teeth and jaws and gather information for treatment planning.
Once your evaluation is complete, we will discuss your options and outline the recommended phases of treatment.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include:
- Consultation and digital imaging
- Digital scans or models
- Preparatory treatment, such as extractions or bone preservation
- Dental implant placement when appropriate
- Denture fabrication or restorative treatment
- Final adjustments and follow-up care
The duration of a full-mouth reconstruction varies because every treatment plan is different. A patient receiving crowns or veneers may follow a different timeline from someone who needs extractions, dental implants, healing, and a final implant-supported restoration.
Our team coordinates appointments and explains each phase so you understand what comes next.
Smile Makeovers and Tooth Replacement
Full mouth reconstruction can address both dental function and appearance. For patients with damaged but maintainable teeth, a smile makeover may combine treatments such as crowns and veneers to improve tooth shape, color, and overall appearance.
Patients who need to replace multiple missing teeth may consider traditional dentures, snap-on dentures, or implant-supported options such as All-on-X or Teeth in a Day.
Each option has distinct considerations regarding stability, treatment time, cost, maintenance, and appearance. We review these factors with you so you can make an informed decision about your care.
Maintaining Your Results
Long-term maintenance is an important part of full mouth reconstruction. Regular dental checkups, professional cleanings, and periodic imaging can help your dental team monitor your natural teeth, restorations, and implants.
Patients with dentures should follow recommended cleaning routines and have their fit checked periodically. Patients with implant-supported teeth also need regular professional care to monitor the implants and surrounding tissues.
Mesa Dental Group will recommend a maintenance schedule based on your treatment and oral health needs. Our goal is to help you protect your investment and maintain comfortable function for years to come.
