Full-Mouth Reconstruction

One Plan for a Mouth That Has Become a Series of Problems

When many teeth are missing, failing, worn, or affected by previous dental work, a coordinated plan can restore the mouth as a complete system.

Comprehensive Restorative Care

One Plan for a Complex Dental Problem

One tooth is repaired, another fractures, an older restoration fails, and each decision is made under more pressure than the last. Full-mouth reconstruction replaces that sequence with one diagnosis and one coordinated plan.

Treatment may combine dental implants with custom prosthetics, crowns, bridges, dentures, or corrective care for dentistry completed elsewhere. Dr. Lori Anderson takes a conservative approach: preserve what is healthy, address what is failing, and recommend only what is needed to create stable function.

How the Plan Is Built

Complete Care Without a One-Size-Fits-All Answer

Your reconstruction should solve the problems you have while preserving every healthy structure that can serve you well.

The Whole Mouth in View

Every tooth, restoration, supporting tissue, and bite relationship is considered together so one repair does not create another problem.

Corrective Experience

Dr. Anderson evaluates failing implants and complicated dental work from other offices or dental tourism cases, then builds a plan to restore health and function.

A Sequenced Path Forward

Complex care becomes more manageable when each phase, healing period, temporary restoration, and clinical milestone is explained in advance.

A Thoughtful Treatment Plan

What to Expect

Treatment begins with diagnosis. Dr. Anderson reviews the structures that can be preserved, the factors that affect candidacy, and the sequence required before a recommendation is made.

  • Comprehensive evaluation of existing teeth, implants, restorations, gums, bone, and bite
  • A coordinated plan that may combine implant, prosthetic, restorative, and cosmetic care
  • Options for temporary teeth and staged treatment when clinically appropriate
  • Corrective planning for failed or uncomfortable dental work from elsewhere
  • A written sequence that clarifies timing, priorities, healing, and maintenance

Common Questions

Answers Before You Begin

Your consultation is the place for answers specific to your smile. These are helpful starting points for the questions patients ask most often.

Is full-mouth reconstruction the same as full-mouth implants?

Not always. Full-mouth implants replace a complete arch of teeth with an implant-supported restoration. Full-mouth reconstruction is broader and may preserve some teeth while combining implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, or other care to restore the mouth as a whole.

How long does full-mouth reconstruction take?

Timing varies significantly with the number of procedures, healing needs, and whether implants or grafting are involved. Implant-based reconstructions may take six to twelve months. Dr. Anderson provides a phased timeline after completing your evaluation.

Can you correct failed dental work from another practice?

Yes. Dental Implant Institute evaluates complications from failing restorations, implants, and dental work performed elsewhere, including dental tourism cases. The first step is identifying what can be saved and what must be corrected.

How is a full-mouth reconstruction maintained?

Maintenance is tailored to the teeth, implants, and restorations included in your plan. Dr. Anderson will explain home care, professional cleaning intervals, protective appliances when appropriate, and how the completed reconstruction should be monitored over time.
