Full Mouth Reconstruction Dentist in Anchorage, AK

We understand that every smile is unique, and some patients require comprehensive care to restore the health, function, and appearance of their teeth and gums. A good candidate for full mouth reconstruction is typically someone facing multiple or complex dental concerns, such as:

• Severe tooth decay or advanced gum disease
• Multiple missing teeth
vSignificant tooth wear due to grinding (bruxism) or acid erosion
• Jaw problems affecting chewing, speaking, or overall comfort
• Dental trauma from accidents or injuries
• Congenital conditions impacting the development or structure of the teeth and jaws

If you have experienced any of these dental issues, full mouth reconstruction at Four Corners Dental Group may be the solution to restore your oral health and confidence.

Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health, as certain medical conditions can affect healing and the body’s response to treatment. Commitment to excellent oral hygiene and closely following your dentist’s recommendations is essential for successful outcomes. It’s also important to have realistic expectations, as full mouth reconstruction can be a complex process involving multiple appointments over several months.

Our experienced team will conduct a thorough evaluation, including X-rays, impressions, and other diagnostic tools, to determine if full mouth reconstruction is right for you. We’re committed to creating a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and helps you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.

We understand that recovering from a full mouth reconstruction is a highly personalized journey. The recovery process varies from patient to patient, depending on the complexity of the procedures performed and your individual health needs. Our Anchorage and Wasilla dental teams specialize in comprehensive restorative treatments, including crowns, bridges, veneers, dental implants, gum therapy, and even orthodontic care—all designed to restore both the function and appearance of your smile.

Full mouth reconstruction is typically a multi-phase process that can take several months to over a year to complete. Each treatment—such as dental implants or periodontal surgery—requires its own healing period. For instance, dental implants often need three to six months for the jawbone to fully integrate with the implant before the final crown is placed, while crowns or veneers may only need a few weeks for full adjustment.

After each procedure, you may experience some swelling, discomfort, or minor bleeding. These symptoms generally subside within a few days to a week. Our team will schedule regular appointments to allow your mouth to heal properly between each phase and to ensure the best possible outcome.

Following your dentist’s post-operative care instructions is essential for a smooth and successful recovery. We are committed to providing you with detailed guidance and support every step of the way. Throughout your reconstruction, our team will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan to ensure long-lasting results.

Full mouth reconstruction at our practice involves a combination of restorative and cosmetic procedures, such as crowns, bridges, dental implants, veneers, and, when needed, orthodontic care.

For many patients, full mouth reconstruction is a life-changing investment. If you’re struggling with multiple oral health problems, this comprehensive approach can:

• Dramatically improve your ability to chew and speak
• Relieve discomfort and chronic pain
• Restore confidence in your appearance

If you have complex dental concerns, full mouth reconstruction may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Our goal is to restore your smile—and your confidence—so you can enjoy a healthier, happier life.

Discomfort during a full mouth reconstruction varies from patient to patient. The level of pain depends on the specific procedures involved—such as crowns, bridges, veneers, dental implants, root canal therapy, periodontal treatments, or oral surgeries—as well as your overall health and individual pain tolerance. We create personalized treatment plans designed around your unique needs and comfort.

Thanks to modern dental advancements, most procedures can be performed with minimal discomfort. Our dentists use local anesthesia to numb the treatment areas, ensuring you feel little to no pain during your visit. For patients with dental anxiety or those undergoing more complex treatments, we offer sedation options to help you relax throughout your appointment.

It’s common to experience some sensitivity, mild pain, or swelling after certain procedures—especially those involving surgery, like dental implant placement or gum treatments. At Four Corners Dental Group, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and recommend appropriate pain relievers. Most patients find that any discomfort is moderate and temporary, typically subsiding within a few days to a week as your mouth heals.

The complexity and number of procedures you have in one visit can influence the level of discomfort. For example, placing a single crown usually causes less post-procedural pain than multiple extractions or bone grafting. Our dental team will discuss what you can expect based on your individual treatment plan and will customize your pain management options accordingly.
