What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction rebuilds all the teeth in both jaws, corrects bite problems, and treats gum disease at the same time. At Premier Dental, our board-certified prosthodontists combine restorative and cosmetic procedures into one coordinated plan that restores function, health, and appearance together.
Depending on your needs, your plan may include dental crowns, bridges, dental implants, porcelain veneers, gum therapy, and occlusal (bite) correction. Because every mouth is different, we sequence procedures in the right order so each restoration supports the next.
You may have heard of a smile makeover, and it’s easy to confuse the two. A smile makeover is primarily cosmetic, focused on how your teeth look. Full mouth reconstruction goes deeper. It corrects damage, disease, and dysfunction throughout your mouth while also giving you a beautiful smile that feels natural when you eat and talk.
This treatment helps patients dealing with widespread damage, missing teeth, worn enamel, chronic pain, or the effects of long-standing gum disease. It’s never too late for your smile, and we’re here to help you rebuild it with attention to your specific needs at every step.
Benefits of Full Mouth Reconstruction
Rebuilding your smile does much more than improve how you look in photos. When your teeth, gums, and bite all work together properly, your quality of life improves in ways that show up at nearly every meal and conversation.
Here’s what patients gain from full mouth reconstruction at Premier Dental:
- Full chewing and biting function restored. You can enjoy the foods you love again, from crisp apples to steak, without worry.
- Relief from chronic pain. Broken teeth, failing restorations, and untreated decay often cause daily discomfort. Rebuilding removes the source.
- Clearer speech and stronger facial structure. Missing or worn teeth can cause slurring and a collapsed facial appearance. New restorations support your lips and cheeks.
- Long-lasting, durable results. Modern porcelain, zirconia, and titanium implant materials are built to last for many years with proper care.
- Healthier gums and bone. Treating disease and replacing missing teeth protects the bone in your jaw and reduces the risk of further tooth loss.
- Renewed confidence. When you’re not hiding your smile, you show up differently at work, at family gatherings, and in daily life.
Our patients often tell us the biggest surprise is how much better they feel, not just how they look. That’s the goal of concierge dentistry: careful, well-planned work and follow-through that changes how you eat, speak, and live each day.
The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process
Full mouth reconstruction at Premier Dental follows a carefully sequenced process that typically spans several months. Treatment begins with a thorough diagnostic phase, moves into foundational health work, and finishes with the placement of final restorations. Each step is planned in advance so your rebuild is predictable, comfortable, and durable for years to come.
Here’s what to expect:
- Complete exam and digital imaging. Dr. Adam Jones or Dr. Giuliana Diaz Jones will perform a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw joints. X-rays, 3D scans, and photographs give us a clear picture of what needs to change.
- Custom treatment planning. We build a written plan that lists every procedure, the order it will happen in, and the estimated timeline. You’ll see exactly what your rebuild involves before we begin.
- Foundational work. Before restorations go in, we treat what’s underneath. This may include periodontal (gum) therapy, tooth extractions, bone grafting, or dental implant placement.
- Place your restorations. Once your mouth is healthy and stable, we place crowns, bridges, hybrid dentures / all-on-4, or porcelain veneers. In select cases, teeth in a day may be an option for implant patients.
- Adjust your bite and follow up. We fine-tune your bite, refine and polish your restorations, and schedule follow-up visits to protect your investment for the long term.
Because every case is different, timelines vary. Some rebuilds take four to six months. Others, especially those involving implants and bone healing, may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic expectation from day one.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants and Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction helps patients whose dental problems go beyond what a single procedure can fix. If you recognize yourself in the list below, a consultation with our board-certified prosthodontists in Vero Beach can help you understand your options for implants, crowns, and complete restorative care.
You may be a strong candidate if you have:
- Multiple missing, broken, or severely worn teeth
- Chronic jaw pain, headaches, or signs of TMJ dysfunction
- Extensive tooth decay or failing crowns, bridges, or old dental work
- Moderate to advanced gum disease affecting several teeth
- Difficulty chewing, speaking, or feeling confident when you smile
- A long history of postponed dental care and a desire to start fresh
Good candidates should also be ready to commit to a multi-visit treatment plan. Rebuilding a full mouth is not a one-appointment fix, and the best results come from patients who follow through with each phase alongside our team.
If you’re worried about the condition of your teeth, please know this: we do not judge. We do not lecture. Instead, we focus on working with you to create a healthy, confident smile with a plan built for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Full Mouth Reconstruction
How long does full mouth reconstruction take?
Most full mouth reconstructions take between four months and a year to complete, depending on what your mouth needs. Cases involving dental implants and bone healing typically fall on the longer end, while rebuilds focused on crowns and veneers move faster. During your consultation at Premier Dental, we’ll give you a specific timeline based on your treatment plan. Here’s a general comparison:
| Treatment Focus | Typical Timeline | Typical Longevity |
|---|---|---|
| Crowns & veneers | Two to four months | 10 to 15 years or longer |
| Gum therapy & extractions | One to three months | Ongoing with maintenance |
| Dental implants & bone grafting | Six months to a year | Often decades with proper care |
How much does full mouth reconstruction cost in Vero Beach?
Cost varies widely because every plan is different. A rebuild that includes several implants, bone grafting, and full-arch restorations will cost significantly more than one focused on crowns and gum therapy. We provide a written treatment estimate before any work begins, and we offer our in-house dental savings plan along with flexible financing through CareCredit to help fit treatment into your budget.
Is the procedure painful? What sedation is available?
Modern dentistry has come a long way, and most patients are surprised by how comfortable full mouth reconstruction actually is. We use local anesthetic for every procedure, and for patients who feel anxious or need longer appointments, we offer nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation.
How long do the results last?
With proper care, dental implants can last for decades, and high-quality crowns and veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. Regular checkups, good home hygiene, and a nightguard (if you grind your teeth) all help protect your investment.
Does insurance cover full mouth reconstruction?
Dental insurance often covers portions of treatment that are considered medically or dentally necessary, such as crowns, extractions, and periodontal therapy. Cosmetic components like veneers are usually not covered. Our team files insurance on your behalf and helps you understand exactly what your plan will contribute.
