Your teeth can last for a lifetime, but that’s not a reality for many Americans. Whether from decay, disease,
or trauma, your teeth might be damaged or missing. If your smile has been compromised, you might live with daily
pain or embarrassment. Not to mention, you might find simple tasks challenging, like biting or chewing. You
don’t need to cope with the struggles of a less than perfect smile. We can transform your teeth and your
quality of life with full mouth reconstruction in Leesburg, VA.
What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction resolves complex oral health issues using specific cosmetic and restorative treatments.
The
selected procedures cater to each patient’s needs to improve their dental health and functions. Besides
rehabilitating the teeth, we also keep aesthetics in mind. We’ll ensure your results look and feel natural
to
give you a smile you’ll want to show off.
The process of correcting your dental concerns can take several months to complete depending on your specific
treatment plan. After a thorough consultation, we’ll explain which procedures we recommend and in what
order.
We’ll provide you with an estimated timeline and what you can expect while on your way to a beautiful,
healthy
smile.
We’ll also explain each step in your plan and address any concerns, so you feel confident in the decisions
you’re making for your oral health.
How Does Full Mouth Reconstruction Work?
During your initial consultation, we consider several factors to create an action plan. We’ll look beyond
what
you see on the surface to also check your bite and alignment, as well as other factors that may be hiding from
sight, like an infection. Using advanced technology, we’ll have a complete picture of your needs to
transform
your teeth using one or more treatments, such as:
- Porcelain Veneers: A veneer covers the entire front surface of a tooth to enhance its
color,
size, shape, and proportion. They are versatile to correct several issues using just one treatment.
- Teeth Whitening: Turn back the hands of time to get your teeth as much as 8 shades
brighter.
- Dental Bonding: A composite resin material can fix minor issues, like decay, chips, or
cracks.
The minimally invasive treatment is affordable and convenient.
- Dental Crowns: A protective cap restores a tooth’s health and function using a
solution
that looks real.
- Dental Implants: Recreate the entire structure of a missing tooth to enjoy a close replica
of
your natural smile.
- Full & Partial Dentures: Treat significant tooth loss using a full or partial denture.
New
innovations in dentistry make them look and feel more realistic than ever.
- Periodontal Therapy: We’ll save your smile from the damage caused by gum disease. We
will
stop the infection to preserve your natural teeth.

Is Full Mouth Reconstruction the Same as a Smile Makeover?
At first, these two types of customized treatment plans may look similar. After all, they both streamline several different treatments depending on your unique needs and preferences. However, the difference lies in where the treatments are focused. While a smile makeover is designed to use cosmetic procedures to upgrade your smile, full mouth reconstruction is more focused on restoring your oral health and helping your mouth function properly. Of course, for a full mouth reconstruction, we will aim to make your smile look just as good as it feels in the end!
How Long Does Full Mouth Reconstruction Take?
Since every patient’s journey towards a healthy, functional smile is unique, there is no set timeline for how long a full mouth reconstruction takes. It all depends on what types of treatments you need and how many of them. Oftentimes it will take several months to fully complete the process. Other times, it can take up to a year or more. However, when designing your customized treatment plan, we’ll do our best to streamline the steps in order to treat your smile as efficiently as possible.
What Happens After a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
We will provide personalized post-op instructions after each treatment to ensure you recover smoothly and quickly. For instance, you may need to use a special mouthwash for a while after periodontal therapy. If you’re getting dental implants, you’ll need to plan on sticking to a diet of soft, nutritious foods for a month or so.
When it comes to taking care of your results in the long-term, you should come see us every six months for routine checkups and cleanings. We’ll monitor your teeth and gums to ensure no issues are developing, and we’ll give you tips for how to make the most out of your new smile. Of course, you’ll also need to brush and floss thoroughly every day to make sure your results last as long as possible.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Since a full mouth reconstruction is a collection of different services, the answer to this question will vary from patient to patient. To find the answer, we’ll need to look into your dental insurance coverage for each individual service within your full mouth reconstruction plan. Fortunately, most services used in a full mouth reconstruction earn at least partial coverage from most dental insurance policies. However, every plan is different! We’ll be happy to confirm your benefits after giving you an estimate during your initial consultation.
