What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment plan that rebuilds or restores all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. It combines multiple dental disciplines -- implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, bone grafting, and sometimes gum treatment -- into one coordinated plan. The goal is not just a better smile. It is restoring your ability to eat, speak, and live without pain or embarrassment.
Who Needs It
Patients with years of dental neglect, multiple failing teeth, severe decay, broken or worn-down teeth, bite problems, or previous dental work that has failed. If your mouth feels like it is falling apart, this is the solution.
What Is Involved
A thorough exam and 3D imaging to assess every tooth, your bone structure, and jaw alignment. Then a phased treatment plan that addresses each problem systematically -- surgical placement, restoration design, and cosmetic finishing, all under one roof.
How Long It Takes
Treatment timelines vary from several months to over a year, depending on complexity. The phased approach allows for proper healing between stages and ensures every restoration is built to last. We provide temporary restorations so you are never without functional teeth.
Everything Under One Roof. One Doctor. One Vision.
Most full mouth reconstruction cases get bounced between an oral surgeon, a periodontist, a general dentist, and a lab. That means more appointments, more miscommunication, and more risk. Dr. Gerald Marlin handles the entire process himself -- from surgical implant placement to final restoration design to cosmetic finishing.
Specializes in Cases Others Turn Away
If another dentist said your case was "too complex," that is exactly the kind of case Dr. Gerald Marlin was trained for. His entire career has been built on solving the hardest problems in dentistry.
Saves Natural Teeth When Possible
Not every tooth needs to be pulled. Dr. Gerald Marlin evaluates what can be saved and builds the plan around preserving your natural tooth structure wherever it makes clinical sense.
Sedation Options Available
We understand that patients who need full mouth reconstruction often have dental anxiety. Sedation dentistry options are available so you can relax through every procedure.
Crowns That Last 35+ Years
The national average for crown longevity is 10-15 years. Dr. Gerald Marlin's in-house lab produces restorations that routinely last three times that, making your investment worthwhile.
We Understand the Hesitation
Many of our full mouth reconstruction patients put off treatment for years because they felt overwhelmed, ashamed, or afraid of the cost. Here is what we want you to know.
No Judgment
We see patients every week who have not been to a dentist in 5, 10, even 20 years. You will never be lectured here. Our only concern is helping you move forward.
Financing Available
We work with patients on financing options to make comprehensive treatment accessible. The consultation is the first step to understanding your options and costs.
Sedation Dentistry
Dental anxiety is real and we take it seriously. Sedation options let you undergo even complex procedures comfortably. Many patients tell us it was far easier than they expected.
