Full mouth restoration, also known as full mouth reconstruction, is a highly personalized approach to rebuilding, restoring, and replacing most or all of the teeth. This comprehensive treatment is ideal for patients with extensive dental decay, multiple missing teeth, bite dysfunction, or complex oral health concerns. The goal is to restore comfort, function, and aesthetics while supporting long-term oral health.
At Cosmetic Dentistry of the Carolinas, Dr. Tyler Wurmlinger leads full mouth restoration care with a thoughtful, methodical approach rooted in advanced restorative and aesthetic dentistry. Working alongside Dr. Ross Nash, he continues to deliver meticulously planned treatment and exceptional clinical outcomes for patients seeking comprehensive dental solutions.
What Full Mouth Restoration Involves
Every full mouth restoration plan is uniquely designed based on your individual needs. Treatment planning considers the condition of your teeth, gums, jawbone, and bite alignment, as well as your long-term goals. A thorough evaluation includes a comprehensive dental exam, digital X-rays, impressions, and advanced intraoral scanning to identify concerns that may not be visible during a standard exam.
Depending on your oral health, a full mouth restoration plan may include a combination of the following treatments:
- Tooth extractions
- Dental implants
- Root canal therapy
- Periodontal (gum) treatment
- Orthodontic treatment
- Dental crowns or porcelain crowns
- Inlays and onlays
- Tooth-colored composite fillings
- Bone or tissue grafting
- Implant-supported dentures
Each phase is carefully sequenced to ensure proper healing, stability, and long-lasting results.
Who Is a Candidate for Full Mouth Restoration?
The primary objective of full mouth restoration is to rebuild a healthy, functional foundation while achieving a balanced, natural-looking smile. Patients who may benefit from this approach include those who:
- Are missing multiple teeth
- Have severely worn, damaged, or decayed teeth
- Experience bite problems or jaw discomfort
- Have advanced gum disease or bone loss
- Have suffered dental trauma from injury or accident
- Grind or clench their teeth chronically
Certain congenital conditions, such as ectodermal dysplasia or dentinogenesis imperfecta, may also require full mouth restoration to restore strength, function, and appearance.
How Long Does Full Mouth Restoration Take?
The timeline for full mouth restoration varies based on the complexity of treatment and the procedures involved. Some treatments can be completed in a single visit, while others require multiple appointments and healing periods. Advanced procedures, such as dental implants or grafting, require additional healing time before proceeding to the next phase.For some patients, treatment may be completed in several months, while others may require a year or longer. Throughout the process, our team provides clear communication, careful pacing, and a detailed treatment timeline beginning with a comprehensive consultation and exam.
