Determine Your Candidacy

At Family Dental Care, full mouth reconstructions are primarily reserved for patients struggling with multiple complications, which can be caused by poor oral hygiene or trauma. Dr. O’Keefe can address:

  • Damaged or worn teeth
  • Tooth loss
  • Dental infection
  • Oral decay
  • Gum disease

In order to be a candidate for full mouth reconstruction, you must be in good overall health. You should also be committed to caring for your new smile using proper oral hygiene practices like daily brushing and flossing.

Procedures Included in Full Mouth Reconstructions

Dr. O’Keefe may recommend a combination of general, restorative, and cosmetic treatments based on your individual needs, including:

Each procedure serves a unique purpose but can be combined with others to help you achieve a fully functional, attractive smile. 

Your Reconstructive Process

Full mouth reconstructions are highly customized restorative solutions. Because we will combine multiple procedures, your treatment will typically be completed in stages.

Planning 

Your full mouth reconstruction begins with a consultation. During your appointment, Dr. O’Keefe will conduct a thorough examination to determine the best course of action. He may take digital x-rays or other advanced scans for a comprehensive picture of your smile. Using these scans, he can evaluate the condition of your soft and hard tissue, the unique features of your bite, and your overall facial structure before designing an ideal reconstructive treatment.

Treatment

Before proceeding with restorative treatments, your dentist will address any underlying oral health conditions. If applicable, he may provide periodontal care to keep you free of decay and infection. After repairing areas of initial concern, your dentist can move forward with any restorative or cosmetic procedures. Though Dr. O'Keefe can combine multiple procedures into a single appointment, certain treatments such as dental implant surgery and restoration placement, may require time to recover between stages. 

Achieving Superior Results & Comfort

Dr. O’Keefe uses advanced technology and state-of-the-art techniques to provide his patients with effective, long-lasting results. At Family Dental Care, there is no dental concern that we cannot handle. 

To ensure your comfort throughout the treatment process, Dr. O’Keefe offers various forms of sedation in addition to local anesthesia to address your needs. Our sedation options include:

  • Oral conscious sedationPatients take medication prior to the procedure and remain conscious and responsive, but comfortable.
  • Intravenous (IV) sedation: This method places patients in a highly relaxed state with medication that can be easily adjusted throughout the procedure.

Sedation is an extremely useful option for full mouth reconstruction as it allows for the completion of multiple procedures in the least amount of time. This process not only saves you time spent in the dentist's chair, but can also reduce the overall cost of your treatment.
