Full mouth reconstruction restores every part of your smile when damage, disease, or missing teeth affect most or all of your mouth.
In this blog, you will learn what full mouth reconstruction means, who it is for, and how Morris Dental Solutions in Buffalo Grove provides this life-changing care.
Full mouth reconstruction restores your smile from the ground up. If you have multiple dental issues, from tooth decay to missing teeth, this comprehensive dental treatment offers a long-term path back to health, function, and confidence.
What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is a complete rebuild of your smile. It combines restorative and cosmetic procedures to improve how your teeth look, feel, and function. This is also referred to as full mouth restoration or full mouth rehab.
This dental treatment is for patients with multiple dental problems such as:
- Worn, broken, or decayed teeth
- Multiple missing teeth
- Advanced gum disease or bone loss
- Jaw pain or bite problems
- Old dental work that needs to be replaced
- Complications from periodontal disease or oral cancer
Unlike a smile makeover, which is mostly cosmetic, full mouth reconstruction is medically necessary to restore health, function, and stability.
How We Rebuild Your Smile at Morris Dental Solutions
Our team follows a thoughtful, step-by-step approach to restore your mouth with lasting results. Each full mouth reconstruction is tailored to your health needs and goals.
Depending on your case, treatment may include:
- Dental implants to replace missing teeth and anchor restorations
- Crowns and bridges to rebuild strength and function
- Dentures and implant overdentures for full arch stability
- Veneers or bonding to repair worn or damaged enamel
- Gum treatments to create a healthy foundation
We use advanced technology—like CBCT scans, intraoral cameras, and 3D printing—to plan and deliver care seamlessly.
