Many people live with significant dental issues that interfere with their smile. People may have chipped, broken, stained, or missing teeth. A full mouth restoration refers to a suite of dental services that can return your teeth to their intended appearance and improve your oral health.
Depending on the condition of your teeth, your dentist may use a combination of the following procedures to complete your full mouth restoration:
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers can cover chipped or stained teeth. They are a permanent alternative to standard tooth whitening.
Dental Crowns
Crowns allow the dentist to save a natural tooth by shaving it down and capping it with a porcelain or metal restoration. Our office is proud to offer the CEREC system that allows your dentist to make and place a crown in one visit.
Dental Implants
Implants are the most convincing replacement for missing teeth. Comprised of a titanium “root” that bonds with the jawbone, an abutment, and a dental crown, the system provides a tooth replacement that looks and feels natural. Implants last longer than other restorations like bridges and crowns.
Tooth Bonding
Today, dental fillings don’t have to be metallic. Tooth-colored composite fillings allow for a more lifelike restoration.
Dental Bridges
Bridges are non-removable artificial teeth supported by two crowns on either side. Bridges can replace a few teeth at a time.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment may be a crucial part of your full mouth restoration. Orthodontic treatment corrects both function and appearance. Many adults did not have the opportunity to have orthodontic treatment as children.
Periodontal Treatment
Strong gums are a must for oral health and aesthetics. Your dentist may need to perform periodontal treatments before your restoration can take place.
Endodontic Treatment
Broken and compromised teeth sometimes need endodontic treatment, like root canals. These procedures need to happen before your restoration or in the process of placing crowns.
Benefits of Full Mouth Restoration
You will enjoy better oral health and higher self-esteem with a restored smile. Many adults avoid smiling and laughing because they are self-conscious about how their teeth look. Your restored smile will allow you to put your best face forward to the world.

Frequently Asked Questions About Full Mouth Restoration
Is a full mouth restoration intended more for aesthetic or health reasons?
A full mouth restoration addresses oral health concerns and improves the patient's appearance. This dental restoration includes fixing broken teeth, bite deficiencies, and replacing missing teeth, among other procedures. Your smile makeover may be less complex if you have purely cosmetic needs.
Is the process painful?
You will have appropriate local anesthesia when needed, but you should not experience any pain. Some procedures may produce some soreness afterward that can be taken care of with over-the-counter medications.
How much does a full mouth restoration cost?
Your dentist will help you make a treatment plan based on the amount and scope of the work your smile needs. Consider a full mouth restoration as an investment in your oral and overall health and improving your teeth's appearance.
