If every meal is a painful experience, your smile makes you self-conscious, or enjoying your favorite foods seems impossible, it’s time to consider a life-changing decision. A full mouth reconstruction consultation is that turning point; a thorough, personalized evaluation designed to map out exactly what your mouth needs and how to get it there.
At DG Dental, Dr. Dory Green, DMD, FAGD, leads each consultation with the same precision and artistry she brings to every procedure. Our Fort Lauderdale practice is built around high-end cosmetic and restorative dentistry, and we understand that no two smiles are alike. Whether you’re dealing with decades of wear, missing teeth, or a combination of concerns affecting both function and appearance, we’re here to walk you through every step of the process before treatment ever begins.
When Would You Need Full Mouth Reconstruction?
A full mouth reconstruction isn’t a single procedure; it’s a carefully coordinated plan that addresses multiple dental concerns at once. Patients who seek this level of care often arrive with a combination of issues that have built up over time, including severe tooth wear from grinding, extensive decay, tooth loss, or bite problems that have affected jaw function and overall quality of life.
According to research published by the National Institutes of Health, full mouth rehabilitation is an interdisciplinary process that integrates advanced technologies to address complex oral health challenges, with prosthodontics showing a success rate as high as 92%.
What many patients don’t realize is that these issues are often interconnected. A compromised bite can accelerate wear, missing teeth can cause shifting, and years of untreated decay can impact the structural integrity of surrounding teeth. The consultation is where we identify exactly how these pieces relate to each other and create a unified path forward.
What Happens During the Consultation?
Your full mouth reconstruction journey begins with the most crucial step: the consultation. This is a comprehensive diagnostic appointment intended to establish a complete picture of your oral health.
Your Oral and Dental Examination
We begin with a thorough clinical examination of your teeth, gums, and bite. We use digital scans rather than traditional impressions to capture precise measurements of your mouth, giving us detailed data without the discomfort of conventional molds. This technology allows Dr. Green to evaluate alignment, spacing, and structural integrity with a level of accuracy that traditional methods simply can’t match.
Imaging and Diagnostic Records
Digital x-rays and other imaging help us assess what’s happening beneath the surface. We examine the health of your bone structure, the condition of existing restorations, and the positioning of your jaw joints. This diagnostic information is critical to building a reconstruction plan that accounts for both the visible and invisible elements of your oral health.
Discussing Your Goals and Concerns
One of the most important parts of the consultation is the conversation. We want to understand what bothers you most, what you hope to achieve, and what your daily life looks like. Are you struggling to chew certain foods? Have you been avoiding social situations because of your smile? These details shape our recommendations and help us prioritize your treatment in a way that delivers results that matter to you.
Building Your Personalized Treatment Plan
After we’ve gathered all necessary diagnostic information, we develop a detailed, sequenced treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs. Full mouth reconstruction may involve a combination of restorative procedures, such as crowns, bridges, implants, or porcelain veneers, along with periodontal care, orthodontics, or other treatments, depending on what your case requires.
We also discuss phasing, timeline, and what to realistically expect at each stage. Our goal is to make sure you feel fully informed and confident before you commit to any treatment. We’ll review financing and insurance options as well, because we believe understanding the investment involved is just as important as understanding the clinical plan. DG Dental is in-network with several major providers, including Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare, and we accept all out-of-network PPO dental plans.
What to Bring to Your Full Mouth Reconstruction Appointment
Coming to your consultation prepared helps us make the most of your time together. Bring any records from previous dental providers if you have them, make a list of any medications you’re currently taking, and don’t hesitate to write down questions ahead of time. There are no wrong questions; the more you share with us, the better we can serve you.
You should also come ready to have an honest conversation about your goals. Patients who are clear about what they want to achieve tend to experience the most satisfying outcomes because their plan is built around their specific vision, not a generic template.
