Full Mouth Reconstruction in Fort Myers, FL

Q: How long does full mouth reconstruction take?

The timeline depends on how many teeth and procedures are involved in your specific plan. A reconstruction that includes periodontal therapy, implants, and final restorations can take several months from start to finish, since healing time between phases is often necessary. We will map out a realistic timeline for your Fort Myers, FL treatment plan at your consultation.

Q: Will my full mouth reconstruction be covered by insurance, and do you offer financing?

Coverage varies by plan and by which procedures are included in your reconstruction. We offer 0% APR financing and an in-house Smile Program membership plan for patients without dental insurance, and we accept most insurance plans. Our team can review your specific plan and walk through the cost breakdown before treatment begins.

Q: Is full mouth reconstruction painful?

Most patients manage full mouth reconstruction comfortably with local anesthesia, and Dr. Galvan's Moderate Sedation Permit allows for IV sedation if you have dental anxiety or need more extensive work completed in one visit. We will discuss your comfort options during your consultation so nothing about the process feels unfamiliar.

Q: Can I get full mouth reconstruction if I have gum disease?

Yes, though gum disease typically needs to be treated first so your restorations have a healthy, stable foundation. Nearly 2 in 5 adults have some form of periodontal disease, so this is a common first step rather than an unusual one. We evaluate your gum health as part of your initial exam and build any needed periodontal therapy into your plan.

Q: How do I know if I need full mouth reconstruction versus a single crown?

A single crown works well when only one tooth needs attention, but full mouth reconstruction is the better fit when multiple teeth, your bite, and your jaw function are all affected at once. Treating those problems one at a time can miss how they interact with each other. Our team can tell you during a consultation which approach fits your situation.

When years of damage, decay, or wear have affected most of the teeth in your mouth, a single filling or crown is not enough to fix it. Missing teeth, a shifting bite, and worn enamel tend to function as one connected problem rather than a set of separate issues, which is why patching them one at a time rarely gives lasting results.

At Smiles of Fort Myers, full mouth reconstruction is how we approach these connected problems for patients in Fort Myers, FL, using one coordinated treatment plan rather than isolated fixes. Depending on your case, your plan may combine crowns and bridges, dental implants, or other restorative treatments sequenced to protect your bite and your results long term.

What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Full mouth reconstruction, also called full mouth rehabilitation or full mouth restoration, is the process of rebuilding or restoring all of the teeth in your upper and lower jaws using a combination of dental treatments. Rather than treating each tooth as a separate problem, your dentist develops one coordinated plan that addresses your bite, function, and appearance together.

Are You a Candidate for Full Mouth Reconstruction?

You may be a candidate for full mouth reconstruction if:

Your teeth have been lost due to decay or trauma
Your teeth have been injured or fractured
Your teeth have become severely worn from long-term acid erosion, whether from foods, beverages, or acid reflux
You have ongoing jaw, muscle, or headache pain related to your bite

Gum health also plays a role in how your reconstruction is planned. Nearly 2 in 5 adults have some form of periodontal disease, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, so we always evaluate the health of your gums and supporting bone before finalizing your restorations.

Treatments That May Be Part of Your Plan

The extent of your reconstruction depends on the condition of your teeth, gums, and bite, so your plan is built around what you actually need rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

Dental Implants

A fixed foundation for missing teeth. Learn more about dental implants.

Veneers

Thin custom shells that restore the appearance of worn or damaged front teeth. See our veneers options.

Dentures

A removable or implant-supported option for patients missing most or all of their teeth. Read about dentures.

Your dentist will also address the state of your gum tissue, since the health of your gums may impact which restorations are recommended.

The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process

Your treatment plan follows a step-by-step process, and the duration depends on the extent of work needed.

Comprehensive Exam

We evaluate your teeth, gums, jaw, and bite to understand the full picture.

Treatment Planning

We sequence your procedures in the order that protects your results.

Foundational Care
