Comprehensive Care
What Is Full-Mouth Reconstruction?
Full-mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive approach to restoring the health, function, and appearance of your teeth when multiple areas of the mouth require treatment. It's not a single procedure — it's a carefully planned sequence of restorative steps designed to address complex dental conditions.
Patients who benefit from reconstruction typically have significant wear, multiple failing restorations, broken or missing teeth, or bite-related concerns that affect daily comfort and function. The goal is always the same: to rebuild a stable, healthy foundation that supports long-term oral health.
When Full-Mouth Reconstruction May Be Needed
There is no single reason patients pursue reconstruction — it's often the result of gradual wear, accumulated damage, or long-deferred treatment reaching a point where comprehensive care becomes the most effective path forward.
Common situations include:
Precision Planning
A Thoughtful Treatment Planning Process
Reconstruction begins long before any treatment starts. Dr. Prentice takes a methodical, evidence-based approach to understanding your dental condition — evaluating not just what needs to be repaired, but why the breakdown occurred and how to prevent it in the future.
The planning process includes a thorough evaluation of your teeth, bite, jaw function, and overall oral health. Digital imaging and diagnostic tools provide a precise picture of your current condition, allowing Dr. Prentice to design a treatment plan that addresses your needs in the right sequence and at the right pace.
For patients exploring whether reconstruction is the right direction, a consultation is the ideal starting point — an opportunity to ask questions, review findings, and understand your options before making any decisions.
Beyond Appearance
Restoring Function and Aesthetics
Full-mouth reconstruction is often associated with dramatic cosmetic transformation, and while the aesthetic results can be remarkable, the true value lies deeper. Reconstruction restores the ability to chew comfortably, protects the bite from further deterioration, and creates a stable foundation for long-term dental health.
When function is restored properly, aesthetics follow naturally. Dr. Prentice designs every reconstruction with both in mind — ensuring that the final result not only looks natural and confident but also works the way your teeth were meant to work.
Treatment may include a combination of crowns, implant restorations, bridges, and other restorative solutions — all coordinated within a single, unified plan.
Technology and Precision
Complex reconstructive cases demand precision at every stage — from diagnosis through final restoration. Prentice Dental uses digital scanning, advanced imaging, and in-house milling technology to plan and execute treatment with a level of accuracy that traditional methods simply cannot match.
Digital workflows allow Dr. Prentice to visualize the entire treatment plan before any work begins, ensuring that each restoration fits precisely within the overall design. For cases that include crown restorations, our same-day crown technology can streamline individual appointments within a larger reconstruction plan.
This technology-forward approach reduces guesswork, minimizes adjustments, and produces restorations that fit precisely — essential when rebuilding an entire smile.

Test-Drive Your New Smile
Before any permanent restoration is made, Dr. Prentice can place PMMA provisionals — high-quality prototype teeth you live with for weeks or months. You eat with them, speak with them, and see them in the mirror every morning.
This phase removes the uncertainty from complex treatment. Nothing permanent is made until you and Dr. Prentice agree the result feels right and functions well.

What is the difference between full-mouth reconstruction and cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses primarily on improving the appearance of teeth, while full-mouth reconstruction addresses underlying structural, functional, and health concerns — often involving the bite, multiple teeth, and long-term stability. In many cases, reconstruction also produces significant aesthetic improvement, but the foundation is always function and health.
How do I know if I need full-mouth reconstruction?
Patients who have multiple worn, broken, or failing teeth — or who experience chronic bite discomfort, difficulty chewing, or widespread breakdown — are often candidates for reconstruction. The best way to find out is through a thorough consultation with Dr. Prentice, who can evaluate your specific situation and explain your options clearly.
Is treatment completed all at once or in phases?
It depends on the complexity of each case. Some reconstructions can be completed in a focused series of appointments, while more extensive cases benefit from phased treatment that addresses the most urgent needs first and builds toward a comprehensive result. Dr. Prentice will recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your situation.
How long does full-mouth reconstruction take?
Treatment timelines vary depending on the scope of work involved. Simpler cases may be completed in a few months, while more complex reconstructions can take six months to a year or longer. During your consultation, Dr. Prentice will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific treatment plan.
Can reconstruction include crowns or implant restorations?
Yes. Full-mouth reconstruction often involves a combination of restorative treatments, including crowns, implant restorations, bridges, and other prosthetics. Dr. Prentice coordinates all restorative elements within a unified treatment plan to ensure optimal function, aesthetics, and longevity.
What is the PMMA test-drive phase?
PMMA provisionals are high-quality prototype teeth you wear for weeks before your final restorations are made. They let you evaluate function, aesthetics, and comfort in everyday life, so nothing permanent is created until the design is right.
How long do the results last?
With proper maintenance and a protective nightguard, full-mouth reconstruction results typically last 15 to 25 years or longer. Dr. Prentice monitors your bite over time and adjusts as needed to protect the result.
