Here are a few questions to consider when narrowing down your options and identifying the best dental surgeons for full fourth restoration:

What Kind of Full-Mouth Reconstruction Procedures Do We Perform During Treatment?

Every patient’s full-mouth reconstruction is unique,, so treatments can involve several dental procedures—our best dental surgeons for full-mouth restorations commonly complete full-mouth dental implants in NYC. First, you will most likely receive a deep teeth cleaning. We will then complete diagnostic assessments, which may include anything from X-rays and CT scans to smile designs.

Some of the most common procedures involved in the treatment process include:

• Dental implants to restore or replace a missing or diseased tooth.
• Porcelain crowns to place a cap over an unhealthy tooth and provide added strength.
• Implant dental bridges to replace missing teeth.
• Dentures to add a partial or full set of artificial teeth.
• Invisalign to fix any alignment issues.
• Ceramic inlays and onlays to fix an uneven bite or diseased tooth.
• Bone and gum grafting to augment any deficient, diseased, or missing areas with healthy gum or bone.
• Osseous surgery to get rid of infected gums and unhealthy bones in the mouth in moderate to severe cases of gum disease.

What Is the Difference Between Full-Mouth Reconstruction and a Smile Makeover?

A full-mouth reconstruction and a smile makeover share many similarities. Both procedures require coordinated care from multi-specialty dentists and help improve your mouth’s function, health, and appearance.

We classify these procedures differently based on their intended outcome. A smile makeover is an elective treatment classified as cosmetic dentistry. The procedure’s primary goal is to create an aesthetically pleasing smile.

A full-mouth reconstruction qualifies as restorative dentistry. It involves a set of necessary procedures to solve dental pathologies in the teeth, gums, or mouth. Dentists may perform these procedures to replace teeth, prevent severe infections, stop chronic pain, improve chewing and biting abilities, and restore full-mouth function. During reconstruction, your team of dentists will also address your cosmetic concerns.

Unlike a smile makeover, which is cosmetic, full-mouth dental implants in NYC are restorative solutions designed to replace missing or significantly damaged teeth.

How Long Does Full-Mouth Reconstruction Take?

Teeth reconstruction is a very individualized process, and the timeline will differ from one patient to the next. Several factors can impact this timeline, such as:

• Which dental procedures does the patient need?
• How many dental procedures does the patient require?
• The patient’s preference.
• The patient’s finances.

You can expect the entire full-mouth reconstruction process to take over a month. Receiving full-mouth dental implants in NYC can take several months to ensure proper healing. More involved cases can take up to two years to complete.

Before you begin treatment, your dental team will provide you with a comprehensive consultation and examination to assess your dental health. This step will help you and your team understand the extent of care that you will need. Once this stage is complete, you will have a more precise estimate of how long your full-mouth restoration will take.

What Are the Steps Involved in Full-Mouth Reconstruction?

The steps involved in each patient’s full-mouth reconstruction vary based on their necessary dental procedures. In general, the five steps are:

Diagnosis

Your dental team will utilize modern digital radiography to deliver a precise diagnosis. For example, panoramic X-rays assist with diagnosing infections inside the bone that could require root canal therapy. These X-rays also assist with diagnosing whether you have any progressive bone loss that requires tooth extraction.

Consultation

Following your diagnosis, Dr. Jin Wang will conduct an oral, neck, and head examination to determine whether your gums are healthy or if they require periodontal treatment before your oral reconstruction. If you have periodontal disease, your team will need to address it to remove decay, replace missing teeth, restore teeth, and establish a proper bite.

Treatment Plan

Next, your team will develop your individualized dental reconstruction treatment plan. This includes creating a digital design of your teeth and the intended results.

Our dentists and specialists will collaborate to determine the best course of action. For example, you might require a procedure to restore the oral cavity along with your missing teeth, or the major issue could be improving your ability to chew. We consider everything from your overall health to your ability to pay for the reconstruction.

Full-Mouth Reconstruction Treatment

Your team will perform the treatments you need to restore function and health to your mouth, gums, and teeth. These treatments may include implant restorations, traditional dentures, or porcelain veneers on your front or lower teeth. Other treatment options are onlays, crowns, and bridges. Some patients might also have oral surgery to move the jaws.

Our root canal specialist will perform the endodontic treatment. Dr. Wang completes the periodontal treatment and performs any needed oral surgery procedures, bone grafts, extractions, and sinus lifts.

Treatment by a Restorative Dentist

The last step involves treatment by a restorative dentist following osseointegration when your NYC full-mouth dental implants integrate with the bone. Then your new smile is complete.

Options for Missing Teeth

Many treatment options are available for missing teeth. The best treatment for you can vary based on the number of teeth you are missing. Below, you will find a brief overview of each option. For more detailed information regarding each procedure, we encourage you to visit each designated service page.

Full-mouth dental implants in NYC provide permanent, stable, and aesthetically pleasing replacements for patients with missing arches.

Implants and Implant-Supported Crowns

Full-mouth dental implants in NYC and implant-supported crowns are an ideal restoration option for patients missing a few teeth. Implants, which are small screws inserted into the jawbone, replace the part of the missing tooth. These solutions offer stability for chewing and biting. This method is also ideal because it will not damage healthy teeth and mimics the appearance of natural teeth.

Implants and Implant-Supported Bridges

A combination of dental implants and implant bridges can be an effective treatment option for patients with multiple missing teeth. Our expert implant specialists, like Dr. Wang, can use a few implants to support a large implant bridge. This option also allows patients to choose the porcelain’s exact shade when they replace their entire front teeth.

Implants and Implant-Supported Dentures

In the past, if a patient was edentulous, the only solution was a full, removable denture. This option allows patients to achieve full-mouth reconstruction. Still, removable dentures often have poor retention, make eating difficult, and promote progressive bone loss.

At 209 NYC Dental, our implant-supported dentures, or all-on-4, allow our patients to replace full upper and lower arches without the drawbacks of removable dentures. Implant-supported dentures deliver complete rehabilitation and long-lasting restoration, and this procedure is one of the most cost-effective treatments available.

Beyond its health benefits, a well-made denture implant will restore a beautiful, youthful smile. To learn more about this procedure, we encourage you to view the before and after photos and read the following case study about an implant denture patient.

Implant Denture Case Study

A female patient missing all her upper teeth visited our office for a consultation. She had previously come to our dental office over 10 years ago to have her lower teeth restored with implants and an implant-supported bridge. Now, she wants a more reliable way to replace her full removable denture.

Along with restoring function to her mouth, our patient also desired to regain her natural smile. She brought in a photo of her younger self for inspiration. Her coordinated care team, including Dr. Jin Wang, our expert implant specialist, and Dr. Steven Kafko, our top-rated prosthodontic-restorative dentist, created a treatment plan to recreate her gorgeous “Hollywood smile.”

Our team placed four implants in our patient’s upper jaw and created a complete removable denture until she received her permanent implant denture. We modeled both of these pieces after the photo of her original smile. Once her full-mouth restoration was complete, our patient left our office beaming with joy and confidence in the function and appearance of her familiar and improved smile.

Porcelain Crowns, Veneers, and Onlays

Some recipients of full-mouth reconstruction still have all their teeth. Yet many of those teeth are severely compromised because of dental decay, trauma, or bruxism. This treatment option can be effective in preserving your natural teeth. Our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Ben Ifraimov, will evaluate whether you need root canal therapy. Then, he will take a digital impression of your mouth using a 3D scanner to create your crowns, veneers, and onlays. Once completed, your team uses a special cement to bond these treatments onto your teeth.

Full-Mouth Reconstruction Cost Without Insurance

Because you receive a customized treatment plan, the total cost of dental reconstruction in NYC can vary. However, 209 NYC Dental will still accept you as a patient, even if you do not have insurance. We will work with you to develop an affordable payment plan.

Along with offering prepayment and interest-free payment plans on extended treatments, we accept:

• All major credit cards.
• FSA (Flex Spending Benefits).
• HSA (Health Savings Account).
• Care Credit.

Full-Mouth Reconstruction Cost With Insurance

At 209 NYC Dental, we accept most preferred provider organization (PPO) insurance and some medical insurance in case of injury. Your dental PPO insurance determines the fee for each dental procedure. Full-mouth reconstruction qualifies as a medically necessary treatment instead of a cosmetic procedure. Your insurance will cover part of the treatment up to the maximum coverage.

Your dental reconstruction cost could qualify for partial reimbursement through your medical insurance. Insurance coverage for full-mouth dental implants in NYC varies based on providers and the necessity of your procedure. This situation may occur if there are out-of-network benefits. You may receive a reimbursement if your treatment is necessary because of accidental trauma, such as a car accident or fall, or diseases, such as diabetes or cancer. If so, our staff biller will contact your health insurance carrier.

Depending on the size of your annual maximum, the total cost of a dental reconstruction could be higher than your dental benefits. If this is the case for you and if it is medically possible, we may restructure your treatment plan. We can deliver it over two years to help you utilize your dental benefits. Please visit our patient information page to see a complete list of the dental insurance policies we accept and learn more about our payment options and full-mouth reconstruction costs.
