Contemplating a full mouth restoration at Cosmetic Dental Associates may initially feel overwhelming, but for our patients in Houston, TX, it's essential to remember the extensive array of benefits that this procedure can offer when you decide to move forward, such as:

• Enhancement of your comprehensive dental and periodontal well-being
• Dedicated focus on gum health and management of periodontal conditions
• Substitution of non-functioning or absent teeth
• Rejuvenated and enhanced mouth aesthetics

Each full mouth restoration will vary from patient to patient since it’s customized to meet the individual patient’s needs. The patient should first expect a thorough assessment of the entire mouth, which will include the use of X-rays and other diagnostic tools. After determining the condition of the patient’s oral health and diagnosing any conditions or issues, along with consulting with the patient about his or her goals, the dentist can begin to design a specific treatment plan. The dentist will keep the patient informed during every step of the process.

Some common procedures the dentist can perform include:
•    Replacing worn out restorations like crowns and replacing with newer, more durable crowns or bridges
•    Taking out and replacing traditional metal fillings with tooth-colored fillings
•    Placing dental implants
•    Scaling and root planing
•    Bone and/or soft tissue grafts
•    Orthodontics
•    Porcelain veneers

Multiple visits are typically needed to complete all dental work and a patient will need to have numerous follow-up visits to assess the mouth, make sure the patient is responding well to procedures, and to track progress and healing. It’s extremely important for a patient to follow all of the dentist’s instructions for proper healing and to ensure optimal results. After certain procedures, the dentist may prescribe medication, which the patient should take as prescribed. The recovery process will depend on the patient’s condition and the types of procedures performed. If there are any questions or concerns, a patient should contact his or her dentist as soon as possible.

The cost of full mouth restoration can vary significantly based on the condition of the patient’s mouth and the type of procedures needed. At the low end, a patient can expect to spend around a few thousand dollars for minimal work. At the high end, full mouth restoration can extend past $45,000. Since some procedures might be deemed medically necessary, dental insurance might cover a portion of the cost. Our front office staff would be more than happy to contact your insurance carrier to confirm coverage.
