What is Full Mouth Reconstruction (2)

What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?

divider 02 1

Full mouth reconstruction, also known as full mouth rehabilitation, is a comprehensive dental treatment that involves rebuilding or restoring all or most of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. This transformative procedure combines multiple restorative dentistry techniques to address complex dental problems that cannot be solved with simple treatments.

Unlike routine dental work, full mouth reconstruction is a carefully planned, multi-phase treatment that may involve dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, and other advanced restorative procedures. Our experienced team at Legacy Dental Care takes a holistic approach, considering not just your teeth, but also your gums, jaw alignment, and overall oral health.

Comprehensive Treatment Options

divider 02 1
Our full mouth reconstruction services may incorporate various restorative dentistry procedures:
Dental Implants (7)

Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, offering a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, implants restore both the tooth root and crown, preserving bone health and preventing shifting. Our advanced implant procedures provide lasting stability, comfort, and confidence—whether you’re missing a single tooth or multiple teeth—so you can eat, speak, and smile with complete assurance.

Dental Crowns (7)

Dental Crowns

Custom-crafted dental crowns protect and restore damaged, weakened, or decayed teeth while blending seamlessly with your natural smile. At our practice, we use high-quality, durable materials carefully matched to your tooth color for a flawless result. Crowns not only strengthen and protect teeth but also restore their shape, size, and natural appearance, making them an ideal solution for long-term function, beauty, and improved oral health.

Dental Bridges (3)

Dental Bridges

For patients missing one or more teeth in a row, dental bridges provide a reliable, fixed solution without the inconvenience of removable dentures. Our bridges are designed to restore your smile’s appearance, maintain bite balance, and prevent teeth from shifting out of alignment. Crafted with precision and high-quality materials, each bridge blends naturally with your teeth, giving you lasting function, comfort, and a complete, confident smile.
What are Veneers

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a transformative cosmetic option for enhancing the beauty of your front teeth. Ultra-thin yet durable, veneers correct issues like discoloration, chips, gaps, or minor misalignments while protecting natural tooth structure. Each veneer is custom-designed to match your smile’s unique shape and shade, resulting in a radiant, natural-looking appearance. With proper care, veneers provide long-lasting results, giving you the confidence to smile boldly.

Dentures

Dentures and Partial Dentures

For patients seeking removable solutions, we offer complete and partial dentures designed for comfort, function, and a natural look. Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth, while partial dentures restore multiple teeth while preserving existing ones. Each appliance is custom-fitted for stability and ease of wear, helping you chew, speak, and smile confidently. Modern materials ensure a natural appearance and improved comfort over traditional options.

Periodontal Treatment

Periodontal Treatment

Healthy gums form the foundation of every strong, beautiful smile. Our comprehensive periodontal treatments address gum disease at every stage, from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. By treating infection, reducing inflammation, and restoring gum health, we help protect your teeth and dental restorations. With a focus on prevention and long-term care, our periodontal therapies ensure your mouth stays strong, healthy, and ready for any restorative treatment.

FAQs

FAQs

divider 02 1
How long does full mouth reconstruction take?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most full mouth reconstructions take 6-18 months to complete. We break the treatment into manageable phases, so you’ll see improvements throughout the process. During your consultation, we’ll provide you with a detailed timeline specific to your situation.
We prioritize your comfort throughout every step of treatment. Modern anesthesia techniques and our gentle approach minimize discomfort during procedures. Most patients report that any post-treatment discomfort is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. We’ll also provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure smooth healing.
The cost varies significantly based on the specific treatments needed. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed treatment plan with clear pricing. We accept most insurance plans and offer flexible financing options to make treatment accessible. Remember, this is an investment in your health, function, and quality of life that will benefit you for decades.
No! We understand the importance of maintaining your appearance and function throughout treatment. We provide temporary restorations so you’ll never be without teeth. While these temporaries may have some limitations, they ensure you can continue your normal activities with confidence.
Age is rarely a barrier to restorative treatment. We’ve successfully treated patients in their 80s and 90s who have experienced dramatic improvements in their quality of life. During your consultation, we’ll assess your overall health and work with your medical providers to ensure safe, effective treatment.

Excellent....

Dr. Cousins and the entire staff are extremely efficient and friendly. Dr. Cousins is incredibly detail oriented. The dental hygiene staff are terrific as well as the office personnel. I would recommend Legacy Dental to anyone. You are treated, and respected, as a patient not as a number.

Dr. Cousins and Legacy Dental hve been my provider for several years now. It's always a great experience. Efficient and great communication.

Dr. Cousins and the entire Legacy Dental team are amazing! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with friendly smiles and genuine warmth. The front desk is welcoming and efficient, the hygienists are gentle and thorough, and Dr. Cousins takes the time to explain everything clearly so you feel completely at ease. The office is spotless and modern, and they truly respect your time—appointments run on schedule and check-in is a breeze. I never feel rushed or pressured; they outline options, answer questions, and make sure I’m comfortable at every step. Even the little touches—clear communication, easy scheduling, and thoughtful follow-up—make a big difference. If you’re looking for a dentist who’s professional, caring, and upbeat, Legacy Dental is it. I always leave with a brighter smile and total confidence in my care! Highly recommend

Dr. Cousins is the best dentist I know. I’ve been to several but none so personable, caring, compassionate and knowledgeable as Dr. Cousins. What I love most is that he can relate to a problem and say ‘I know how you feel’ and work patiently create a plan of action that worked for me. I trust him 100% with my dental care and highly recommend his services. His staff is so friendly and I always feel I’m in the good hands! Thank you Legacy Dental!!!

I think Dr. Darling deserves 10 stars, but I can only give 5. I haven’t always had the best experiences when it has come to dental care in the past but with Dr. Darling and her staff, it has always been better than expected. I have had the misfortune of needing to contact her office twice for urgent dental concerns. Both times the doctor personally contacted me OUTSIDE OF WORK HOURS to help me. If that isn’t the greatest level of patient care, I don’t know what is. I would highly recommend.

New patient at Legacy Dental and I couldn’t be more pleased! Vanessa, my dental hygienist provided the most gentle yet effective cleaning I’ve had in years and Dr. Darling was very kind, approachable and thorough as she went over the status of previous dental work and the health of my mouth. I highly recommend their office for dental care!

I’m always happy with the job that Dr. Darling and the Hygienist’s do. The office staff was so helpful and courteous to me even when I needed to reschedule some appointments. I recently had some restoration work done by Amira and the results were excellent. I really like my new smile! Thanks again Legacy Dental.
