If multiple teeth are worn, broken, missing, or painful, it can impact how you chew, speak, and smile every day. At Blue Dental Clinic on the Upper East Side, full mouth reconstruction brings your bite, function, and esthetics back into harmony with a personalized, step-by-step plan—guided by advanced diagnostics and specialist-level planning.

Why choose us

• Prosthodontic-led planning: Precise diagnostics, material selection, and bite design for long-term durability.
• Comprehensive solutions: Crowns, onlays, veneers, implants/bridges, periodontal therapy, endodontics, orthodontics/aligners, and TMJ/bite therapy—all coordinated for you.
• Function + esthetics: We rebuild to proper form and bite balance, then finesse shade, shape, and smile line.
• Comfort & clarity: Gentle techniques, clear timelines and fees, and insurance-friendly support.

What is full mouth reconstruction?

A tailored combination of restorative and cosmetic treatments that rebuilds many—or all—teeth to a healthy, stable bite and a natural-looking smile. It may include repairing damaged teeth, replacing missing teeth, correcting bite issues, and addressing gum health.

Who is a good candidate?

• Generalized wear/erosion or acid-related damage
• Broken, cracked, or heavily filled teeth across multiple areas
• Multiple missing teeth or failing restorations
• Chronic jaw soreness, headaches, or bite imbalance (TMD-related)
• Long-standing gum disease that needs coordinated restorative care
• Teeth that never felt “quite right” after past dental work

What your plan can include

• Tooth repair: Crowns, onlays/inlays, and composite bonding
• Smile enhancements: Veneers, esthetic recontouring, gingival (gum) recontouring/crown lengthening
• Tooth replacement: Single/multiple implants, implant bridges, implant-supported dentures, or full-arch (All-on-X)
• Bite therapy: Occlusal equilibration, night guards for clenching/grinding, TMJ symptom management
• Gum & root care: Periodontal therapy and root canal treatment when indicated
• Alignment: Invisalign or limited orthodontics to position teeth for ideal restoration

Diagnostics & planning (the secret sauce)

• Records: Photos, digital scans/impressions, and X-rays (CBCT if indicated)
• Analysis: Bite evaluation (vertical dimension, guidance, wear patterns), esthetic smile design, and phonetics
• Preview: Digital smile simulation or wax-up so you can “test drive” your future smile and bite before committing

The step-by-step process

1. Comprehensive exam & goals: Discuss concerns, priorities, and budgets.
2. Records & mock-up: Gather diagnostics and create a preliminary smile/bite preview.
3. Phased treatment plan: Sequence care from health and foundations → function → final esthetics.
4. Stabilize & rebuild: Address gums and any infections first; place provisional restorations to test comfort, speech, and appearance.
5. Definitive restorations: Custom ceramics and/or implant prosthetics placed with meticulous fit and shade.
6. Maintenance: Hygiene visits, night guard (if needed), and periodic bite checks to protect your investment.

Materials chosen for you

• Zirconia for strength on back teeth
• Lithium disilicate (e.max) for lifelike translucency in the smile zone
• Hybrid options for full-arch implant solutions
  Every material is selected for location, bite forces, esthetic goals, and longevity.

Comfort, recovery & timeline

Care is delivered in phases to minimize downtime. Most appointments use local anesthesia with the option of nitrous oxide. Soreness is usually mild and short-lived; we provide clear home-care guidance between visits. Total timelines vary from a few weeks to several months depending on complexity and whether implants or orthodontics are included.

Cost & insurance

Investment depends on the number of teeth involved, materials, and whether implants, orthodontics, or periodontal therapy are part of the plan. We’re insurance-friendly: our team verifies benefits in advance, provides transparent written estimates, and files claims on your behalf. Flexible payment options are available for multi-phase care.

FAQs

Is this the same as a “smile makeover”?
A smile makeover focuses on cosmetics. Full mouth reconstruction addresses function and health first (bite, chewing, gum stability) and then esthetics—so results look great and last.

Do I need implants?
Not always. If teeth can be saved predictably, we’ll restore them. Implants are ideal for missing or non-restorable teeth and help preserve bone.

Will my teeth look natural?
Yes. We customize shade, shape, and proportions to your face, lips, and smile line, then refine during try-in.

What if I grind my teeth?
We design restorations and bite guidance to handle your forces and provide a custom night guard to protect your new work.

Can treatment be phased over time?
Absolutely. Many plans are sequenced to meet medical priorities and budget while keeping you comfortable and confident throughout.
