Full Mouth Reconstruction
 If you’re facing multiple dental challenges such as missing, decayed, or damaged teeth, full mouth reconstruction may be the comprehensive solution you need. At Kaw Valley Family Dental, we specialize in restoring smiles and oral function through personalized complete dental reconstruction plans tailored to your unique needs.
What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction refers to the complete restoration of a patient’s teeth, gums, and bite to full health, function, and aesthetics. This intensive dental treatment combines both Restorative Dentistry services and cosmetic procedures to transform the entire mouth.
While terms like full mouth restoration, complete dental reconstruction, and full dental makeover are often used interchangeably, they may emphasize different aspects:
| • |
Full Mouth Reconstruction - Emphasizes functional and health-related needs such as chewing, speech, and bite alignment.
|
| • |
Full Mouth Restoration - Often highlights rebuilding what’s been lost due to decay, trauma, or disease.
|
| • |
Full Dental Makeover - Focuses more on cosmetic transformation of the smile. |
Full mouth reconstruction is typically necessary when oral damage has progressed beyond isolated treatment. Common causes include trauma, advanced gum disease, bite issues, or long-term neglect.
Who is a Candidate for Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Many patients suffering from serious oral health concerns may be ideal candidates for full mouth rehabilitation. Whether you’re dealing with widespread tooth loss or complex bite issues, this treatment is often the most efficient way to reclaim both appearance and function.

What Procedures Are Included in Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Each full mouth dental reconstruction plan is customized to match the patient’s dental condition and goals. Depending on your needs, a variety of procedures may be involved:
| • |
