We recommend full mouth reconstructions for patients who require two or more restorations and/or cosmetic dental services.

If you hide your smile in public settings, or simply don’t feel confident because of the many flaws impacting your teeth, a full mouth reconstruction is the perfect solution.
The full mouth reconstruction process will always start with an initial consultation. During this important appointment, one of our dentists in Little Rock will carefully examine your mouth and review your medical history. They will discuss your smile goals and what you wish to achieve with our dental care. From there, we’ll be able to provide a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and specifications. Your full mouth reconstruction may utilize cosmetic and restorative treatments, including:
No two cases are the same, which is why each full mouth restoration is different from the next. We create treatments that are tailored to meet your needs, which is why it’s difficult to provide an exact cost estimate without reviewing your mouth first.

We will do our best to maximize any insurance benefits that you have so you can enjoy quality and affordable dentistry. Plus, we have special offers and accept alternative financing through CareCredit – this option allows you to enjoy low-to-no interest monthly payments for your full mouth reconstruction.

The team at Little Rock Family Dental Care is ready to help you address all of your oral health problems so you can enjoy the benefits of full mouth reconstruction. Still, before you commit to a consultation, you may want to know more about the journey in front of you. To help you prepare for your treatment, we have put together a list of FAQs about full mouth reconstruction in Little Rock. Make a note of anything that you would like further explanation on — we look forward to satisfying your curiosity!
The timeline for full mouth reconstruction depends on which procedures you are undergoing. For example, some procedures, such as tooth-colored fillings, can be completed in a single appointment. Other services, such as dental implants, require a time commitment of several months.
We will strive to make your full mouth reconstruction as efficient as possible, perhaps by performing some treatments simultaneously. If you have any special events during your treatment period, be sure to let us know so we can schedule your appointments in a way that will have as little impact on your activities as possible.
Different treatments have different life expectancies. For example, dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime, whereas restorations like crowns and veneers may last for 10 – 15 years. Dental bonding and teeth whitening may last for just a few years. How long your results last will depend largely on how you care for your mouth. Regular dental checkups, thorough oral hygiene, and wise lifestyle choices will help your restored smile to endure as long as possible.
Your cosmetic dentist in Little Rock will strive to make you as comfortable as possible during treatments. Local anesthesia, perhaps along with sedation, can ensure that you feel little to nothing during procedures and surgeries.
After a procedure, you may experience some soreness, swelling, and perhaps even a little bleeding. We will give you detailed instructions to make your recovery as easy and low-risk as possible. For example, we may advise you to get plenty of rest, take pain medications, and temporarily avoid certain types of foods.
During the recovery period of an oral surgery, you may have to consume only liquids and/or soft foods for a while. For example, you may enjoy smoothies, yogurt, scrambled eggs, and even an occasional bowl of ice cream.
After your mouth heals, you can feel free to eat all of your favorite foods — dental restorations tend to be quite strong. However, it would be wise to enjoy sugary, sticky, hard, and staining items only in moderation.
