Damaged or missing teeth can affect your dental health and quality of life. Simple tasks, like eating, can be painful or embarrassing. Poor oral health can even affect your general well-being, increasing your risk of several medical conditions, like heart disease. You don’t have to live with the pain, insecurities, or health complications. Your dentist can stop your pain and revamp your smile with full mouth reconstruction in McKinney.
Full mouth reconstruction isn’t a single procedure. Instead, it is a process that involves specific restorative dentistry treatments to improve the health and function of compromised or absent teeth. Besides restoring your dental health, your dentist in McKinney will use natural-looking solutions to give you the stunning smile you deserve.
Every smile and situation are unique, so no two treatment plans are identical. Your dentist will begin by understanding your concerns and examining your teeth and gums. They may also take X-rays or impressions to have a complete picture of your oral health.
There’s not a flat fee for full mouth reconstruction because cookie-cutter treatment plans can’t be used. As a result, various factors affect the amount you can expect to pay, such as:
If you use any form of tobacco, your dentist will need to decide whether a full mouth reconstruction can be performed.

People meeting you for the first time likely won’t be able to tell that you had a full mouth reconstruction performed. Our team will strive to make the results as lifelike as possible by taking advantage of natural-looking materials and advanced dental techniques.
As for people who have already seen your smile, your full mouth reconstruction could end up being very noticeable or more of a subtle change. It mainly depends on the procedures that were performed. We can discuss how dramatic you want the change to be at your initial consultation.
After certain procedures, you might be instructed to only eat soft foods for a given period of time. This will only be temporary; you can return to a normal diet once your mouth has healed. Any restorations that might be used as part of the reconstruction process – such as crowns – will be made to be as durable as possible, so they should be able to withstand the forces of your bite while you’re chewing many different kinds of foods.
Naturally, you still need to be careful when it comes to candy, soda, and anything else that’s high in sugar. Avoiding such treats altogether isn’t necessary, but too much sugar can easily lead to cavities and other oral health complications.
It’s hard to give any kind of useful estimate for the expected lifespan of a full mouth reconstruction since a wide variety of procedures could be involved. That being said, the results will likely last longer if you:
