Full Mouth Restoration

The difference is the need for the procedures and the goals. Smile makeovers are elective procedures where the goal is to aesthetically improve the smile through the use of porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and the like.

Full-mouth reconstruction is necessary to basically save the patient’s teeth and overall oral health. 

Of course, there is overlap between some of the treatments. For instance, porcelain veneers or dental bonding are parts of both a restoration and a smile makeover. It’s really the need that is the difference.

Since full mouth restoration is a customized combination of dental procedures designed specifically for your unique needs, there is no set cost for the treatment. During your consultation with one of our experienced and knowledgeable dentists, your goals will be discussed and a treatment plan will be designed to address your situation. At this time, each procedure involved in your treatment plan will be explained and a cost estimate will be provided to you so you can make an informed decision.

Ultimately, this is your dental care and your decision. We proudly offer a number of payment and financing options to help ensure you get the care you need.

At Arlington Dental Aesthetics and South Riding Smiles, we strive to make every procedure as comfortable as possible. Modern anesthesia and techniques make most procedures very comfortable. There may be some pain during recovery, but we help you manage that. And if you’re apprehensive about any treatments, we offer sedation to help you overcome those fears.

There isn’t much risk with these procedures. As with any dental procedure where extractions and gum tissue treatment are involved, there is a risk of infection, but our expertise keeps this risk to a minimum.

The real risk is not having these procedures. If your oral health is such that you are even considering a full-mouth restoration, you’re headed down the path to complete tooth loss, gum disease, and deteriorating jaw bone mass. That’s not a way to go through life when you can have a great new smile with our restorations.

You won’t have any restrictions on what you can or cannot eat. However, if you’ve had a dental bridge placed, it’s not a bad idea to avoid overly chewy, very hard, or sticky foods, at least when chewing on the side with your bridge. That’s because you can break your new appliance.

Part of the real value in having a full-mouth restoration is your ability to again enjoy many foods you’ve had to take out of your diet. Fruits and vegetables that were too difficult to chew with your damaged teeth can now be enjoyed again. Plus, that enables you to have better nutrition.
