Full Mouth Reconstruction in Brookline, MA
Rebuild Your Entire Smile — Surgically & Restoratively
Full mouth reconstruction is one of the most complex and transformative treatments in dentistry. At Pleasant Dental Associates in Brookline, MA, we are uniquely positioned to deliver it — because we have both board-certified Periodontists and Prosthodontists working together in the same practice. This means your surgical preparation and your final restorations are planned and executed as one seamless, coordinated process.
What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive, customized treatment plan that addresses all of the teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw — restoring function, health, comfort, and aesthetics. It is not a single procedure but a carefully sequenced combination of treatments that may include:
• Periodontal disease treatment and gum surgery
• Dental implants to replace missing teeth
• Bone grafting to rebuild lost jawbone
• Crowns to restore damaged or broken teeth
• Bridges to replace missing teeth
• Implant-supported dentures or full arch restorations
• Gum recession surgery
• Cosmetic recontouring and aesthetic refinements
The exact combination is determined by your unique oral health needs, goals, and budget — developed through a thorough diagnostic process.
Who Needs Full Mouth Reconstruction?
You may be a candidate for full mouth reconstruction if you:
• Have multiple missing or failing teeth
• Have severe tooth wear from grinding (bruxism) or acid erosion
• Have advanced periodontal disease causing bone and tooth loss
• Have teeth that are broken, cracked, or structurally compromised
• Have had a traumatic dental injury
• Wear a full or partial denture and want a more permanent solution
• Have been told by multiple dentists that your dental situation is complex
The Pleasant Dental Associates Difference
Most dental practices must coordinate full mouth reconstruction across multiple offices — a periodontist here, a prosthodontist there. At Pleasant Dental Associates, your entire care team works together in one location, eliminating communication gaps and ensuring your surgical outcomes directly inform your restorative design from the very beginning.

Our Full Mouth Reconstruction Process
Phase 1 — Comprehensive Diagnosis
We begin with full clinical records including photographs, 3D scans, dental X-rays, bite analysis, and gum tissue assessment. This gives us a complete picture of your current oral health and forms the basis of your customized treatment plan.
Phase 2 — Surgical Foundation
Before any restorations are placed, the mouth must be healthy and structurally sound. This phase addresses gum disease, bone loss, extractions, implant placement, and grafting as needed.
Phase 3 — Restorative Reconstruction
Once the foundation is established, our prosthodontists design and place your final restorations — crowns, bridges, implant-supported crowns, or full arch restorations — using the latest digital dentistry technologies for a precise, beautiful result.
Phase 4 — Long-Term Maintenance
We develop a personalized maintenance plan to protect your investment and monitor your oral health long-term.
Frequently Asked Questions — Full Mouth Reconstruction
Q: How long does full mouth reconstruction take?
A: Treatment timelines vary significantly depending on what is involved. Simple cases may take several months; complex cases involving implants, bone grafting, and extensive restorations may take 12–18 months. We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.
Q: Is full mouth reconstruction covered by insurance?
A: Many components of full mouth reconstruction — such as periodontal treatment, extractions, and sometimes implants and crowns — may be partially covered by dental insurance. We work with your plan and provide a full breakdown of costs and coverage before treatment begins.
Q: What is the difference between full mouth reconstruction and a smile makeover?
A: A smile makeover is primarily cosmetic — focused on aesthetics. Full mouth reconstruction is medically necessary — focused on restoring function, health, and structure. In many cases, the two overlap and the result is both a healthier and more beautiful smile.
Q: Can implants be used in a full mouth reconstruction?
A: Yes. Dental implants are often a central component of full mouth reconstruction, replacing multiple missing teeth. In some cases, implant-supported bridges or full arch restorations (All-on-4 style) can replace an entire arch of teeth with just a few implants.
