If you’re staring at chipped teeth, gaps, or a bite that feels off, a full mouth reconstruction might be the answer. It’s not just a fancy term – it’s a comprehensive plan that fixes many dental problems in one go, giving you a functional and beautiful smile.
Think of it as a dental makeover. Instead of fixing one tooth at a time, your dentist looks at the whole mouth, assesses decay, wear, gum health, and bite alignment, then creates a step‑by‑step treatment plan. The goal? A stable bite, healthy gums, and teeth that look natural.
Most plans include a mix of these procedures:
Every patient’s mix is different. Your dentist will take X‑rays, scans, and impressions to map out the exact sequence.
Money is a big question. Full mouth reconstructions can range from £5,000 to over £30,000, depending on how many implants, crowns, or orthodontic phases you need. Some people travel abroad for cheaper dental work – places like Hungary or Poland offer good quality at lower prices, but you’ll need to weigh travel costs, follow‑up care, and the dentist’s reputation.
Typical timelines run 6 to 12 months. You might start with gum treatment, then move to implants, wait for them to integrate (about 3‑4 months), and finish with crowns or veneers. It feels long, but spacing out steps lets your mouth heal properly.
Tip: Ask your dentist about payment plans or insurance coverage. Some private health insurers in the UK will offset part of the cost, especially if the work is deemed medically necessary.
After the work is done, keep up good oral hygiene – brush twice, floss daily, and see your dentist every six months. The better you care for your new teeth, the longer they’ll last.
Ready to start? Schedule a consultation, bring any dental records you have, and be prepared to discuss your goals, budget, and timeline. A full mouth reconstruction can be a life‑changing investment in confidence and health.
