Full Mouth Reconstruction
in Phoenix, AZ

What Full Mouth Reconstruction Is

Full mouth reconstruction is broader than implants. It is the rebuilding of a whole mouth's function: the teeth, the gum health under them, and the bite that puts them to work. One case might be crowns on worn-down teeth plus two implants; another might be gum treatment, extractions, a bridge, and bite correction; another ends in a full implant arch. The treatments are ordinary dentistry. What makes it a reconstruction is that they are planned together, in the right order, instead of tooth by tooth as things break.

Who Needs One

Four situations bring most reconstruction patients in. Teeth worn flat by decades of grinding, where every bite transfers force the enamel can no longer take. Years of deferred work, where old fillings, cracks, and quiet decay have accumulated past the point of one-at-a-time repair. Trauma, where an accident damaged several teeth at once. And failing dentition, where gum disease or decay has put most of the remaining teeth in doubt. The common thread is that fixing one tooth no longer fixes the problem, because the problem is the mouth.

How Dr. Field Sequences It

Every reconstruction here follows the same three steps. First the exam: a full charting, photos, and a 3D image of the bone, so decisions rest on what is actually there. Second the written staged plan: which teeth are saved and how, which are replaced and with what, what the gums need first, and what each phase costs, on paper, before anything is scheduled. Third the phased treatment: urgent problems first, foundations like gum treatment and grafting next, then the rebuilding, at a pace your schedule and budget set. A reconstruction can run months; the plan is what keeps every visit pointed at the same finished bite.

Save the Teeth or Replace the Arch?

The biggest fork in any reconstruction is whether enough teeth are worth saving. When they are, the plan leans on crowns, bridges, and individual implants, and the result is your own teeth doing most of the work. When most of an arch is past saving, patching it tooth by tooth costs more and holds up worse than replacing the arch, and the honest plan says so: that is where All-on-4 and the other full-arch options come in. The 3D image decides it, you see the image, and both paths come priced in writing.

Function First, Then Looks

Reconstruction aims at chewing, speaking, and a bite that does not hurt; a smile makeover aims at appearance. In practice a rebuilt mouth usually looks dramatically better, because crowns and implant teeth are made to match, and patients who want the cosmetic result taken further can fold veneers or whitening into the same plan. If your teeth are healthy and the goal is purely cosmetic, the smile makeover page is the right starting point instead.

Comfort Through the Longer Visits

Reconstruction visits run longer than a filling, and many patients arrive carrying years of dental anxiety, often the same years that deferred the work. Sedation dentistry covers those visits, and plenty of reconstruction patients use it for the surgical phases and skip it for the simple ones. Nobody here asks why the work waited; the plan starts from where the mouth is now.

What Full Mouth Reconstruction Costs

There is no single reconstruction price, because the word covers everything from six crowns to a full implant arch. What this office publishes instead are the fees of the parts: a crown is $1,200–$1,500, an implant is $2,000–$2,400, a bridge is from $3,000, and the rest are on the published fees page. Your plan prices the whole sequence line by line, in writing, after the exam. Phasing spreads the cost across the calendar, payment plans cover the larger phases, and HSA and FSA funds apply.
