Are you suffering from multiple dental issues that make it uncomfortable to eat, smile, and enjoy your life? Full mouth reconstruction might be the solution to restore your oral health. It is a comprehensive dental treatment plan designed to rehabilitate your entire mouth, including your teeth, gums, and jaw function. This transformative procedure addresses multiple dental issues simultaneously, creating a well-balanced relationship between your teeth, muscles, and joints. Whether you’re suffering from extensive tooth damage, severe wear, or multiple missing teeth, full mouth reconstruction can revitalize your oral health and transform your smile, helping you regain your confidence and feel like your old self again.

With a light-hearted yet factual approach, our Newport Beach cosmetic dentist helps patients understand their treatment options while delivering results that restore both function and confidence. Our comprehensive treatment plans address your unique needs, creating natural-looking results that function correctly and feel comfortable.
Full mouth reconstruction differs from simple cosmetic treatments in addressing both functional and aesthetic concerns. Unlike cosmetic procedures that primarily focus on appearance, full mouth reconstruction rebuilds and restores the function of your mouth. This comprehensive approach ensures your bite is aligned while providing beautiful aesthetics as a bonus.
A typical full mouth reconstruction may involve several treatments working together to restore oral health. These treatments can include:
Before any treatment begins, Dr. Sharbash thoroughly examines your oral health and determines which procedures will best address your unique needs. This may include digital imaging, bite analysis, and other diagnostic tools to create a comprehensive treatment plan.
We may recommend mouth reconstruction when you have multiple dental problems affecting the functionality and appearance of your smile. Various conditions and circumstances, including tooth damage, missing teeth, TMJ disorders, and bite problems, might make you an ideal candidate for this comprehensive treatment approach.
If you have severe decay, fractures, or extensive wear, full mouth reconstruction can address these issues. Patients with damaged teeth due to trauma, grinding (bruxism), or acid erosion often benefit from this approach rather than treating each tooth individually over time.
The biomimetic dentistry techniques used at Newport Beach Dental Center focus on preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible while restoring function and aesthetics. This approach mimics teeth’ natural properties, creating restorations that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Living with several missing teeth can significantly impact your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. When multiple teeth are missing, your remaining teeth may shift out of position, and you may experience bone loss in the jaw.
Full mouth reconstruction using dental implants, bridges, or a combination can replace missing teeth while preserving bone structure and preventing further complications. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, over three million people have dental implants in the United States, with this number growing by 500,000 every year, making them a widespread and highly effective solution for missing teeth. These restorations not only fill the gaps in your smile but also restore proper chewing function and facial support.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and improper bite alignment can cause chronic pain, headaches, and excessive tooth wear. Full mouth reconstruction can address these issues by realigning your bite and creating a proper balance between your teeth, jaw muscles, and joints.
Using advanced diagnostic tools, Dr. Sharbash can identify the root cause of your TMJ disorder and incorporate appropriate targeted treatments into your reconstruction plan. This might include orthodontics, carefully designed restorations, or specialized appliances to reposition your jaw.
The process of full mouth reconstruction typically occurs in phases over several months. This methodical approach ensures each stage of treatment is successful before moving to the next phase. While each treatment plan is customized to the individual, most follow a similar sequence.
First, any urgent dental concerns, such as infections, pain, or temporary restorations, are addressed. Next, periodontal treatments ensure your gums and supporting structures are healthy enough to support new restorations. This might include deep cleanings, gum grafting, or other specialized therapies.
Once your foundation is healthy, Dr. Sharbash may incorporate one or more of the following procedures into your treatment plan:
Throughout this process, Dr. Sharbash may place temporary restorations to help you adjust to your new bite while protecting your affected teeth. These temporaries also give you a preview of your final results and allow for adjustments before permanent restorations are placed.
After completing your full mouth reconstruction, proper maintenance is essential for long-lasting results. Dr. Sharbash will provide detailed care instructions specific to your treatments and may recommend regular follow-up visits to ensure everything continues to function correctly.
With quality care, including regular professional cleanings and good home care habits, your full mouth reconstruction can provide decades of comfortable function and aesthetic benefits. Many patients report significant improvements in quality of life, including better nutrition, reduced pain, and increased confidence.
