Each Made Ya Smile Dental patient who has multiple concerns can be served by our skilled, multi-specialty team with a comprehensive treatment plan.

We will also discuss the appropriate sedation methods. Ideal candidates will be healthy and able to withstand lengthy dental therapies and treatments.

In the planning phase of your treatment for a full-mouth reconstruction, we will begin with a discovery period where we collect information via digital images, 3D cone beam scans, impressions, and molds of your teeth and facial structure. Your dentist will evaluate how your upper and lower teeth fit together, how well your jaw joints and facial muscles function, and how healthy your gums are to withstand restorations. Then, we will discuss all of the information collected to make informed decisions about what to do first by setting priorities of what must be done first. Our Made Ya Smile Dental team will present treatment options to you and help you determine the best plan of action for your needs and goals. Full-mouth reconstruction treatment plans are a compilation of the treatments necessary to bring health, comfort, appearance, and function back to your smile. These treatments may include but are not limited to treatments, therapies, or services, like:

• Bad breath (halitosis) treatment
• Bruxism diagnosis and therapy to protect dental work
• Dental bonding and contouring
• Dental crowns, bridges, or implants
• Dental inlays or onlays
• Gum or bone grafting
•  Dental implants
• Dentures
• Endodontics (root canal therapy)
• Orthodontics with traditional metal braces or clear aligners
• Periodontal treatment or surgery
• Reconstruction after oral cancer or a traumatic facial injury
• Replacement of metal fillings
• Teeth whitening services (in-office or at-home whitening)
• TMJ diagnosis and therapy
• Tooth extractions (traditional or surgical)

We can also discuss if you would like to have nitrous oxide or oral-conscious sedation during invasive treatments. Rarely are full-mouth reconstructions just one short visit to our office. We want you to be prepared to spend some time with our team as we carry out your treatment plan with great care and superior skill. If you have questions or concerns at any time in the process of your treatment, please ask. We are here to help.

You can count on multiple follow-up appointments when you are enduring several dental services consecutively. In general, most dental work will leave your teeth and gums swollen and sensitive to touch. If pain medication is not prescribed, your best bet is to have cold compresses, over-the-counter pain relievers, and a diet of soft foods to help you handle the discomfort. Our team at Made Ya Smile Dental Kingwood will also provide tips and suggestions on how to care for your mouth throughout your full-mouth reconstruction. If you experience fever, infection, excessive pain, or a lot of bleeding, please know you can call our practice at any time for assistance.

It is not a bad idea to talk with your dental insurance provider to see what is and is not covered for a full-mouth reconstruction before having a formal treatment planning session. The process will go much smoother if you know ahead of time what is covered and what you will have to pay out-of-pocket once a limit has been met. Our billing department can assist you with filing claims. It is one of our goals to provide all of our patients the dental services and care they deserve without a heavy financial burden. This is why we offer several convenient payment options and an application for convenient financing through our third-party partner, CareCredit®.

Is full-mouth reconstruction painful?
During your full-mouth reconstruction at our Kingwood, TX office, our goal is to keep you comfortable and relaxed during your treatment. Before we begin, we will numb the area being treated, so you should not experience much, if any, discomfort. If you have questions or concerns about pain related to this treatment, feel free to discuss additional sedation options with our team.

Is a full-mouth reconstruction like a smile makeover?
Full-mouth reconstruction and smile makeovers are similar in that they combine a variety of treatments and are customizable based on your needs. However, that's where the similarities stop. Dental reconstruction is performed to optimize your oral health and restore proper function to your mouth; a smile makeover, on the other hand, is a grouping of cosmetic procedures designed to enhance the appearance of your smile.

How long does total mouth reconstruction take?
The length of your treatment will depend on what services are included in your treatment plan, as well as your overall oral health. Generally speaking, you can expect your treatment to take 1 – 2 hours. The healing process can take a few months. Once your treatment plan is created, we will go into more detail about what you can expect during your treatment and recovery period.

You may look and feel like a new person after a full-mouth reconstruction. A gorgeous and healthy smile will be worth the extensive planning, the lengthy dental visits, the invasive dental services, and the investment you have made into your health.
