The term \u201cfull mouth reconstruction\u201d sounds vague, and it is on purpose. It is a general term for any customized treatment plan that involves major improvements to a patient\u2019s oral health. If you have been dealing with severe or complex dental problems, full mouth reconstruction<\/a> might be right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We build every full mouth reconstruction plan around what you actually need, which is why no two patients follow exactly the same path. Your plan may include one or more of the following procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n


Gum Disease Treatment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your gums are discolored, inflamed, or receding, you may have gum disease. Before moving ahead with restorative treatments, we make sure the infection is fully treated first. Depending on the severity, this can involve a deep cleaning<\/a>, antibiotic therapy, or in some cases surgical removal of diseased tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Tooth Extractions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Advanced gum disease can damage the bone supporting your teeth, and in those cases we may need to remove one or more teeth. Extractions also become necessary when a tooth is damaged beyond repair. We perform tooth extractions<\/a> in-house, including same-day cases when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Tooth Replacement Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Losing a tooth is disappointing, but you have strong options for replacing it. Dental implants<\/a> rebuild a missing tooth from the root up and can last for decades with the right care. Dr. Hardin<\/a> holds a post-doctoral fellowship in surgical implant placement through Implant Pathway\u2019s Dental Implant Continuum, and we use a CT Cone Beam Scanner to plan every implant in three dimensions before we place it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If implants are not the right fit for your case, dentures<\/a> or a fixed bridge<\/a> are effective alternatives. We will walk through all three tooth replacement options with you and recommend the one that fits your goals, your bone health, and your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Restorations for Existing Teeth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In many cases, we can prevent the need for extractions by repairing damage to existing teeth. Crowns<\/a> reshape and strengthen teeth affected by decay or trauma, while other teeth may only need a tooth-colored filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your plan might also include replacing old crowns and fillings with newer, better-fitting alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Cosmetic Treatment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic treatment is not required for full mouth reconstruction, but many patients add it once the structural work is done. Veneers<\/a> cover discoloration, chips, cracks, and uneven shape, while teeth whitening<\/a> reduces stains on your natural enamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every full mouth reconstruction plan looks different because every patient\u2019s mouth is different. At your consultation, we will map out exactly what yours involves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


How Full Mouth Reconstruction Is Paid For<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We accept most PPO and DPO insurance plans and file claims on your behalf. For treatment beyond what insurance covers, we work with CareCredit<\/a>, Cherry<\/a>, and Lending Club<\/a> for financing, plus in-house no-interest payment plans with multiple term lengths. Full mouth reconstruction is often completed in phases, so we can prioritize what matters most first and build the rest of the plan around your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Short FAQ<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is full mouth reconstruction and who needs it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full mouth reconstruction refers to a series of coordinated restorative procedures that address multiple teeth across both arches. It is typically for patients with extensive decay, multiple missing teeth, significant wear from grinding, or failing older dental work. The treatment plan is built around function, appearance, and long-term stability, and is done in phases based on each patient\u2019s priorities and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


What tooth replacement options are available?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The practice offers three options for replacing missing teeth: dental implants, dental bridges, and dentures. Implants are a permanent, surgically placed replacement for individual tooth roots. Bridges use adjacent teeth as anchors to span a gap. Dentures replace a full arch or multiple teeth and can be either removable or implant-supported. Dr. Hardin will review which option fits your specific case at your consultation.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Does this practice place dental implants?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes. Dr. Hardin places dental implants in-house. He holds a fellowship credential in implant dentistry from Implant Pathway\u2019s Dental Implant Continuum, a post-doctoral training program for surgical implant placement. Patients do not need a referral to an outside oral surgeon for standard implant cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


What financing options are available for larger dental treatments?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The practice works with three financing partners: CareCredit, Cherry, and Lending Club. In-house payment plans are also available with no interest and multiple term lengths. Patients can use financing for any treatment, including dental implants, veneers, full mouth reconstruction, and clear aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
