Frequently Asked Questions
Full mouth reconstruction combines multiple procedures (crowns, bridges, implants, veneers, etc.) to restore the function and appearance of all teeth. It addresses extensive damage or wear.
Treatment typically takes 6-18 months depending on complexity. It is usually phased — addressing the most urgent needs first and working through a comprehensive treatment plan.
Insurance covers individual procedures according to standard benefits (50% for crowns, etc.). The total out-of-pocket cost is often high because annual maximums ($1,500-$2,000) are quickly exceeded.
