Question 1

What is full mouth reconstruction?

Accepted Answer

Full mouth reconstruction rebuilds most or all of your teeth using a combination of implants, crowns, root canals and sometimes orthodontics or gum treatment, all planned around your bite and jaw joints. It's designed for people whose teeth are worn, broken, missing or failing all at once, where fixing things one at a time keeps causing new problems. Every step follows a single written blueprint so the finished mouth functions as one system.

Question 2

How much does full mouth reconstruction cost?

Accepted Answer

Cost depends entirely on which procedures your case needs — crowns, implants, grafting or orthodontics all add up differently for each patient, so there's no single number. After diagnostics we give you a written, phase-by-phase plan with total costs and financing options through CareCredit or Alphaeon. Many patients spread payments across the treatment timeline rather than paying upfront.

Question 3

How long does full mouth rehabilitation take?

Accepted Answer

Most comprehensive cases run six to eighteen months depending on how much healing, grafting or orthodontics is involved. We phase treatment so you always leave with a presentable smile between appointments, not with unfinished work showing. Simpler cases focused mainly on crowns and cosmetics can move faster.

Question 4

How is full mouth reconstruction different from a smile makeover?

Accepted Answer

A smile makeover is primarily cosmetic — veneers, whitening or bonding to improve appearance when the bite and teeth are otherwise healthy. Full mouth reconstruction addresses function first: bite alignment, joint health, missing teeth and structural damage, with aesthetics built on top of that foundation. Many patients need reconstruction before a makeover will even hold up long-term.

Question 5

Will insurance help pay for full mouth reconstruction?

Accepted Answer

Often yes, in parts. Restorative work such as crowns, root canals and extractions is frequently covered by PPO plans even when purely cosmetic elements are not. We sequence treatment to use your annual insurance maximum efficiently across phases.

Question 6

Do I need to see multiple dentists, or is everything done in one office?

Accepted Answer

Everything is coordinated in one office — our 8 doctors at Jackson Heights review your case together, so surgical, restorative and cosmetic plans match from day one. That means no referrals across Queens or separate offices to juggle for implants, gum treatment and crowns. One team stays accountable for the whole result.

Question 7

Can full mouth reconstruction fix worn-down teeth, TMJ pain or grinding?

Accepted Answer

Yes — reconstruction starts by analyzing your bite and jaw joints, which is exactly where wear, TMJ pain and grinding damage originate. We rebuild tooth height and bite relationship with crowns and onlays, then protect the result with a custom night guard. Many patients notice jaw pain and headaches improve once the bite is corrected.

Question 8

Is sedation available for full mouth reconstruction?

Accepted Answer

Yes, sedation options are available for patients who feel anxious or who need longer appointments during the more involved phases. Every appointment is also done under local anesthesia regardless of sedation choice. Because treatment is phased, you recover between stages rather than facing everything in one long visit.

Question 9

How long do the results of full mouth reconstruction last?

Accepted Answer

With good home care, regular checkups and a night guard where needed, reconstructed teeth and implants can last decades. Individual components like crowns typically last 10 to 15 years, while implants themselves often last a lifetime. Following the maintenance schedule we give you at the end of treatment is key to long-term durability.

Question 10

What does the initial consultation include?

Accepted Answer

Your consultation includes 3D imaging, photos, models and a full bite study of your mouth, plus a conversation about your goals and concerns. From there we build a written, phased treatment plan with sequencing, timeline and costs before any work begins. Consultations are available in English or Spanish at our Jackson Heights office.
