While veneers and bonding are primarily aesthetic "masks" for the front of your teeth, a full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive mechanical overhaul. Bonding uses composite resin to fix minor chips, and veneers use porcelain to change the shape or color of a smile. Full mouth reconstruction, however, involves the structural restoration of every tooth in the arch to correct a collapsed bite, restore lost tooth height, and ensure the jaw joints (TMJ) are properly aligned. It is a medical necessity for complex cases where "surface-level" cosmetics would simply fail or chip under the pressure of a misaligned bite.
Because we prioritize biological healing and "test-driving" your new bite, the process typically takes 6 to 12 months. We use a phased approach: first stabilizing the jaw and gums, then wearing a "Trial Smile" to verify function, and finally placing the master-crafted porcelain. This ensures the most stable, long-lasting result.
Never. One of the hallmarks of a specialist prosthodontic practice is our "Provisional" phase. We provide high-quality, aesthetic temporary restorations that look and function like natural teeth. You will leave every appointment with a functional, beautiful smile that allows you to "test-drive" your final result.
We utilize advanced local anesthesia and a variety of sedation options in our Fifth Avenue sanctuary. Most patients describe the process as a series of lengthy but comfortable appointments. Because we phase the treatment, your body has ample time to adjust to the new bite position at every step, minimizing post-operative discomfort.
