Full Mouth Reconstruction
Living with multiple damaged, worn, or missing teeth can affect much more than your smile. Difficulty chewing, jaw discomfort, broken teeth, and declining oral health can all make everyday life more challenging.
Full mouth reconstruction is a personalized treatment plan that restores the health, function, and appearance of your entire mouth. Rather than focusing on a single tooth, this comprehensive approach addresses multiple dental concerns together to create a healthier, more comfortable bite.
At Hunters Point Dentistry, every full mouth reconstruction begins with a thorough evaluation. We carefully assess your teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, and overall oral health before recommending treatment. Our goal is to preserve healthy tooth structure whenever possible while developing a treatment plan that fits your individual needs.
Who May Benefit from Full Mouth Reconstruction?
You may be a candidate if you have:
- Multiple worn, broken, or cracked teeth
- Several missing teeth
- Extensive dental work that is failing
- Difficulty chewing comfortably
- A bite that feels uneven or unstable
- Teeth damaged by grinding or clenching
- Advanced tooth decay affecting multiple teeth
- Gum disease requiring comprehensive treatment
- Changes in your smile due to years of wear
Not everyone with several dental problems needs full mouth reconstruction. During your consultation, we will determine whether comprehensive treatment is appropriate or if a more conservative approach can achieve your goals.
Common Signs You Should Schedule an Evaluation
You may benefit from an evaluation if you notice:
- Teeth continue to chip or break
- Difficulty eating certain foods
- Worn-down or shortened teeth
- Frequent replacement of crowns or fillings
- Jaw fatigue or discomfort when chewing
- Missing multiple teeth
- Changes in the way your teeth come together

Our Treatment Planning Process
Successful full mouth reconstruction requires careful planning.
At Hunters Point Dentistry, we begin with a comprehensive evaluation that may include:
- Digital X-rays
- CBCT imaging when indicated
- Intraoral photographs
- Digital scans
- Bite evaluation
- Gum health assessment
- Review of your medical and dental history
After gathering this information, we develop a step-by-step treatment plan. Many cases are completed in phases, allowing treatment to progress comfortably while maintaining long-term stability.

- Improve bite function
- Replace missing teeth
- Strengthen weakened teeth
- Improve oral health
- Reduce the risk of future dental problems

Our goal is not simply to improve appearance, but to create a healthy, functional foundation that can last for many years with proper care.
