Full Mouth Reconstruction in Gibsonia & Pittsburgh, PA

What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Full mouth reconstruction, sometimes referred to as full mouth rehabilitation or restoration, is a custom combination of treatments that rebuilds or replaces most or all teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw.

Unlike a cosmetic makeover that focuses purely on aesthetics, a full mouth reconstruction is primarily functional. It restores:

• Damaged or missing teeth
• Jaw and bite alignment
• Gum health and tooth support
• Long-term durability and chewing ability

At Chips Dental Associates, we use digital diagnostics, 3D imaging, and comprehensive consultations to develop an individualized treatment strategy.

Who Needs Full Mouth Reconstruction?

You may be a candidate for full mouth reconstruction if you are experiencing:

• Extensive tooth loss or severe tooth wear from grinding or trauma
• Chronic jaw pain or TMJ issues due to bite misalignment
• Advanced decay or infection in multiple teeth
• Multiple broken or failing restorations
• Combined cosmetic and functional issues that limit your quality of life

If you’ve delayed treatment over the years or feel like your dental issues are “too far gone,” we’re here to tell you that transformative results are absolutely possible — and often more accessible than patients realize.

What Treatments Are Involved?

Every full mouth reconstruction plan is unique. It may include a blend of restorative, surgical, and cosmetic procedures such as:

• Porcelain crowns to rebuild damaged or cracked teeth
• Dental bridges to replace a series of missing teeth
• Dental implants or All-On-4 and All-On-X solutions for full-arch tooth replacement
• Root canal therapy to preserve infected or deeply damaged teeth
• Veneers or teeth whitening to improve the appearance of visible teeth
• Occlusal guards to protect against ongoing tooth grinding or clenching
• Laser dentistry or periodontal therapy for gum health and tissue reshaping

We coordinate each stage of treatment in-house at our Gibsonia or Pittsburgh offices, minimizing your need to visit specialists or travel for care.

What to Expect During Your Reconstruction Journey

The process begins with a thorough consultation, where we evaluate:

• Oral health and gum condition
• Tooth structure and alignment
• Jaw joint function
• Aesthetic goals and smile symmetry

From there, we build a phased plan that fits your schedule and budget. Treatments may be completed over several weeks or months, depending on complexity and healing time.

Throughout your journey, you’ll work directly with our experienced doctors — including Dr. Timothy Chips, D.M.D., whose advanced training includes surgical implant placement and full-mouth restoration techniques.

Technology That Supports Precision and Comfort

We use advanced technology to plan and execute your treatment with precision and predictability. This includes:

• 3D CT scanning for detailed imaging of bone, nerves, and tissue
• Digital impressions for accurate, mess-free models
• IV sedation and general anesthesia options for comfort during complex procedures
• Intra-oral cameras to document and educate you on treatment progress

These tools allow us to work efficiently and keep you fully informed and comfortable every step of the way.

Benefits of Full Mouth Reconstruction

Patients who complete full mouth reconstruction often experience:

• Restored ability to chew and eat a full range of foods
• Elimination of chronic pain or discomfort
• A stronger, more youthful facial profile
• A boost in self-confidence and social ease
• Fewer future dental emergencies or complications

Because all services are provided at Chips Dental Associates, we can ensure the continuity and quality of your care from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Full Mouth Reconstruction

How long does full mouth reconstruction take?
Treatment timelines vary based on the procedures involved and your oral health. Some cases take a few months, while more complex restorations may extend over a year with healing phases in between.

Is full mouth reconstruction painful?
We prioritize your comfort with sedation options, gentle techniques, and phased scheduling. Most patients report minimal discomfort and are surprised by how manageable the process is.

Is this covered by insurance?
Many restorative elements, such as crowns, root canals, and extractions, are often partially covered by dental insurance. Our team helps you maximize your benefits and provides financing options for uncovered services.

Can I see what my smile will look like before starting?
Yes. We use digital planning tools and models to preview the expected outcomes, helping you visualize the transformation and make informed decisions.

What makes this different from a smile makeover?
While smile makeovers are cosmetic in nature, full mouth reconstructions are medically necessary to restore health, comfort, and function. Many patients benefit from both approaches during treatment.
