Improve Your Smile & Boost Your Oral Health
Full mouth reconstruction is a very different process from a smile makeover where the primary purpose is to improve the appearance of your teeth.

Who Might Need Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction may be appropriate for you if your teeth and jaws have suffered significant damage due to dental disease or injury.
This might be the case if you:
- Had advanced periodontal disease
- Have had a significant number of tooth infections
- Have suffered an injury in an accident
- Have significant problems with your bite that resulted in a painful and potentially destructive condition called temporomandibular disorder or TMD
Full mouth reconstruction can be used to restore some or all of your teeth.
What Type of Treatments Are Involved with Full Mouth Reconstruction?
The primary goal of full mouth reconstruction is to restore dental health and to ensure you have fully functional teeth while creating a new smile that will look attractive. Treatments typically used to reconstruct a smile include crowns and implant supported bridges, porcelain veneers, and tooth-colored fillings. More advanced treatments may include gum lifting, bone grafts, dental implant treatment, and orthodontics to realign your teeth.
If you have any active periodontal disease, you will require specialized treatment to help bring this disease under control. If you have TMD, this will also need treatment, as will teeth grinding or clenching, a condition called bruxism. Any tooth infections must be treated with root canal therapy. It is important to have a healthy mouth before your smile can be reconstructed, as this will ensure your treatments will last longer.
Where Do I Begin with Full Mouth Reconstruction?

During your initial appointment with Dr. Iskandar, he will carefully assess your mouth for any signs of active disease and will ask you about your medical history, as this could affect your treatment. Diagnostic tests may include digital dental x-rays and a cone beam CT scan, which can be carried out in our comfortable office. Photographs and dental impressions may also be needed.
Once he has all the necessary information, Dr. Iskandar can plan your full mouth reconstruction. This is a complex procedure, and it’s important that each treatment is completed in precisely the right order. Every treatment is carefully planned and is fully customized to gradually rebuild your smile, ensuring your teeth are exactly the right shape, size, and color to fully restore the correct dimensions of your mouth.
How Long Does Full Mouth Reconstruction Take?
Full mouth reconstruction often involves a combination of complex procedures and it may take quite some time to complete this treatment. It is important to be patient, as every treatment is carefully designed to rebuild your smile and to provide long-lasting results.
Every person’s needs are unique, and the exact time required will vary as will the costs, but these are things that can be discussed in more detail during your initial consultation with Dr. Iskandar.
