Full Mouth Reconstruction
Once in a while a patient walks through our door here at Wayside Dental Practice in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, sometimes via a referral from another dental practice, facing multiple dental issues affecting their entire mouth. As a practice with a special interest in transforming smiles and restoring oral health through advanced, comprehensive treatments, we provide the life-changing solution required in the form of a Full Mouth Reconstruction.
What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full Mouth Reconstruction refers to a customised treatment plan that involves rebuilding or replacing all or most of the teeth in the upper and lower jaws. It goes beyond cosmetic dentistry—it’s a functional and restorative process that aims to restore your bite, oral health, and confidence and seeing the transformative results it gives patients is one of the great privileges of working here at Wayside.
This treatment combines the latest in restorative, cosmetic, and implant dentistry, often including procedures like crowns, bridges, veneers, dental implants, and sometimes orthodontics.
When Might You Need Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Patients who come to us for a Full Mouth Reconstruction are often dealing with one or more of the following:
- Extensive tooth decay or damage
- Worn-down teeth due to grinding (bruxism) or acid erosion
- Missing teeth or severe gum disease
- Congenital dental conditions or trauma (accidents/injuries)
- Failed past dental work
- Chronic jaw pain or bite problems (TMJ disorder)
If these issues are affecting your ability to chew, speak, or smile comfortably, it’s time to consider a comprehensive solution.
What’s Involved in a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
This is a highly personalised treatment that starts with an in-depth consultation. We assess your dental health, bone structure, and bite alignment using advanced diagnostics, including digital imaging and 3D scans.
Your Treatment May Include:
- Laser-assisted gum therapy for periodontal treatment
- Dental implants (with guided surgery for precision and faster healing)
- Crowns and bridges to restore function and appearance
- Porcelain veneers for smile enhancement
- Root canal therapy if needed
- Orthodontics or aligners to correct bite issues
Each stage is carefully planned to restore both form and function, ensuring long-lasting results.
