What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is a custom-designed treatment plan that incorporates multiple restorative treatments. These comprehensive plans are ideal for patients who have seriously damaged smiles. By implementing multiple treatments at once, our dentists make a coordinated effort to rehabilitate a patient's smile as efficiently and effectively as possible.
"We believe that oral health is deeply connected to overall health and wellbeing. We positively impact every patient through exceptional holistic care."

Who Is a Candidate for Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is designed for patients with multiple dental concerns that affect both health and function. You may be a candidate if you have:
• Widespread tooth decay or severe enamel wear
• Multiple missing teeth that affect your bite or speech
• Gum disease or gum recession that requires comprehensive care
• Jaw pain, TMJ disorder, or difficulty chewing comfortably
• Dental restorations that are failing or no longer functional
Because Enlighten Dental emphasizes a whole-body approach, your treatment plan will be developed with your overall wellness in mind. Our team often works with patients who have chronic health conditions or complex needs, designing a plan that not only restores the smile but also supports long-term well-being.
A consultation at our Vancouver practice is the best way to determine your candidacy. After a full evaluation, we can recommend a coordinated plan that helps you regain comfort, confidence, and balance in your oral health.
Common FMR Procedures
Every full mouth reconstruction is unique and incorporates different procedures to serve a patient's specific needs. Treatments that are often included in these plans include:
Dentures and Bridges
If you are missing some, most, or all of your teeth, Enlighten Dental can develop a custom bridge or denture that will fill the gaps left behind. Working with a dental lab that uses high-quality materials, the completed dental prosthesis will restore your ability to bite, chew, speak, and smile. Patients may be eligible for dental implants to secure the completed denture or bridgework.
Dental Implants
Dental implants function like natural tooth roots. During oral surgery, the dental implants are anchored into the jawbone, fusing with the living tissue to ensure strength and stability. At Enlighten Dental, we offer zirconia implants for patients who prefer a metal-free option.
Crowns, Inlays, and Onlays
Restorations like inlays, onlays, and crowns look natural and restore biting and chewing function. Crowns are used to restore or protect a single tooth, while inlays and onlays help restore tooth structure that is too compromised for a traditional filling. The type of restoration used will depend on the extent of the tooth damage.
Mercury Filling Removal
Our dentists are certified to perform the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART). By removing a metal filling from a tooth, we can improve the appearance of your smile and replace the filling with a tooth-colored, metal-free material. This is part of our commitment to dental care solutions intended to improve oral health and overall health.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease can preclude you from undergoing most forms of dentistry, which includes getting dental implants. Our dentists help patients with gum disease by performing deep cleanings, eliminating harmful bacteria. These treatments can improve the appearance of your gums, protect you from the spread of an infection, and restore your candidacy for other treatments.
A Holistic Approach to Dentistry
Treatment Options for Total Wellness
Enlighten Dental takes a holistic approach to dentistry that emphasizes safety and biocompatibility. Dentistry with a holistic approach is metal-free, using tooth-colored ceramic materials that look like natural teeth. This eliminates the potential hazards of metal amalgam, while also enhancing the aesthetics of the smile.
In addition to metal-free fillings and restorations, our Vancouver practice also uses zirconia implants to anchor appliances and restorations. We may use ozone therapy as an adjunct in select cases, and PRF may be used in surgical cases based on clinical judgment.
Whatever dental work is involved, holistic treatment options can enhance the appearance of your new smile, improve your oral health and general wellness, and boost your self-esteem in the process.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Full Mouth Reconstruction
How long does a full mouth reconstruction take?
Treatment time varies depending on the number and type of procedures involved.
Is full mouth reconstruction painful?
To minimize discomfort, procedures are performed with local anesthesia, and we also provide oral sedation for patients who feel anxious. Most patients report only mild discomfort after treatment, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter medication.
Will I need to miss work during treatment?
Downtime depends on the specific procedures in your plan. Some treatments, such as restorations or fillings, allow you to return to normal activities right away. Oral surgery may require a short recovery period.
How is full mouth reconstruction different from cosmetic-focused treatment?
Full mouth reconstruction addresses health and function (e.g., bite, missing or damaged teeth, gum health) in addition to appearance.
Am I a candidate if I have medical conditions?
Many patients with chronic illness or other health concerns benefit from our whole-body approach. Your treatment plan will be designed with your overall wellness in mind, and we can coordinate with your other healthcare providers as needed.
