FULL-MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION IN GREYSTONE

Full-Mouth Reconstruction in Birmingham, Alabama

One damaged tooth can usually be treated as one problem. When missing teeth, worn teeth, older restorations and structural damage begin affecting both the upper and lower arches, treating each tooth independently can leave the larger restorative problem unresolved.

Dr. Todd Reeves and Dr. Coleman Reeves provide comprehensive restorative care at Reeves Cosmetic Dentistry. Their combined perspective allows a complicated mouth to be evaluated around what can remain, what needs rebuilding, what may require replacement and how the completed upper and lower teeth ultimately need to function together.

Full-mouth reconstruction is not one procedure. It is the process of creating one coordinated restorative plan when the problems have become too interconnected to treat as unrelated teeth.

LOOK AT THE WHOLE MOUTH

One coordinated plan for both arches.

Natural teeth, crowns, bridges, implants, bite relationships and future maintenance all have to work together.

WHEN THE WHOLE MOUTH BECOMES THE PROBLEM

Full-Mouth Reconstruction Begins When Individual Decisions Start Affecting Each Other

A crown on one tooth can change how that tooth meets the opposite arch, while replacing several missing teeth can change where support and chewing forces are distributed. When enough treatment is needed on both sides of the bite, making isolated decisions becomes progressively harder.

Existing crowns, bridges, implants, worn natural teeth, missing spaces and the condition of the gums all begin interacting with one another. The treatment plan therefore has to become larger than any single procedure it contains.

The useful question changes from “What does this tooth need?” to something broader. What does this mouth need to become so the individual restorations can work together?

COMPREHENSIVE RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY

What Does Full-Mouth Reconstruction Mean?

Full-mouth reconstruction is comprehensive restorative treatment involving significant portions of both the upper and lower teeth. It may become relevant when damage, missing teeth or previous dentistry are widespread enough that the arches need to be planned together.

That does not mean every tooth is automatically crowned or replaced. One patient may retain many natural teeth and need several carefully coordinated restorations, while another may require substantially more replacement or implant-supported treatment.

Both Arches

The upper and lower teeth are considered together because both sides contribute to the final bite and restorative design.

Multiple Restorative Tools

Crowns, bridges, implants, full-arch treatment and preserved natural teeth can all play different roles inside one comprehensive plan.

One Coordinated Plan

The phrase describes the scale of planning rather than one standardized collection of procedures.

The phrase describes the scale of the planning.

It does not prescribe one standardized collection of procedures. The specific treatment should come after Dr. Reeves understands what is healthy, what is compromised and how the entire bite fits together.

THE DIFFERENCE MATTERS

Full-Mouth Reconstruction and Full-Arch Restoration Are Not Exactly the Same

FULL ARCH

One upper or lower arch.

A full-arch restoration focuses primarily on one upper or lower dental arch. The opposite arch still matters because it forms the opposing bite, but it may not itself need comprehensive restorative treatment.

FULL MOUTH

Significant planning across both arches.

A full-mouth reconstruction involves significant restorative planning across both arches. Problems in the upper teeth and lower teeth are considered together because the way those arches meet becomes a central part of treatment.

Think of full arch as one side of the system.

Full-mouth reconstruction means the system itself needs coordinated restorative planning across both arches.

WHEN SEVERAL PROBLEMS OVERLAP

Full-Mouth Treatment May Become Relevant When The Problems Are No Longer Isolated

Multiple Damaged Teeth

Several teeth may contain fractures, large restorations or substantial loss of natural structure. When those problems appear throughout both arches, planning the restorations together can become more useful than treating them independently.

Numerous Missing Teeth

Missing teeth can affect support, chewing and how the remaining teeth are being used. When spaces exist throughout the mouth, replacement choices in one area can influence restorative decisions somewhere else.

Extensive Older Dental Work

Crowns, bridges and other restorations may have been completed over many years. If several begin requiring attention at once, recreating them individually may not address the way the mouth now functions as a whole.

Significant Tooth Wear

Widespread wear can shorten teeth and alter available tooth structure throughout the mouth. When wear affects many upper and lower teeth, understanding the pattern becomes especially important before rebuilding what has been lost.

A Mixed Restorative Picture

Complex mouths often contain natural teeth, implants, missing spaces and older dentistry at the same time. Full-mouth reconstruction can create a framework for deciding how those parts should relate to one another.

PRESERVATION IS STILL PART OF THE PLAN

Comprehensive Treatment Can Include Keeping Natural Teeth

The phrase full-mouth reconstruction can sound much more aggressive than it necessarily is. Comprehensive planning does not automatically mean removing healthy teeth or placing crowns on every natural tooth in the mouth.

Dr. Reeves first needs to determine which teeth remain structurally useful and predictably maintainable. Teeth that can remain may still play an important role in the final restorative plan.

THE OBJECTIVE

Comprehensive does not have to mean maximal.

Treat the amount of dentistry the mouth actually needs.

THE PLAN CAN USE DIFFERENT RESTORATIVE TOOLS

Full-Mouth Reconstruction Is Usually A Combination of Treatments

The exact procedures depend on what is present in the mouth. A comprehensive restorative plan can involve several different types of treatment because different teeth may have different problems.

Dental Crowns

Crowns may be used when individual teeth require broader structural coverage. They become part of a larger reconstruction only when those restorations are planned around relationships across the mouth.

Dental Bridges

Bridges can replace selected missing teeth when neighboring teeth provide an appropriate restorative foundation. The condition of those supporting teeth can influence whether a bridge or another replacement approach deserves consideration.

Dental Implants

Implants may replace individual missing teeth or become part of a larger restorative design. Implant treatment introduces additional considerations involving bone, surgical planning and the restorative teeth above the implant foundation.

Full-Arch Restorations

One or both arches may require arch-level restorative planning. If both upper and lower arches need significant treatment, those full-arch plans become components of the larger reconstruction.

Existing Natural Teeth

Preservation can remain one of the most important restorative tools available. Useful natural teeth should not become disposable simply because a larger treatment plan is being created.

THE UPPER AND LOWER TEETH HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER

Full-Mouth Reconstruction Makes The Bite Impossible to Separate From the Restorations

Every restoration eventually contacts or moves against something in the opposite arch. When both arches are being significantly restored, those relationships become one of the central design problems.

Tooth position, restorative material, available space and the distribution of chewing forces can all influence treatment. Grinding or clenching may also change what different teeth and restorative materials are being asked to withstand.

A beautiful set of upper teeth and a beautiful set of lower teeth are not enough by themselves. The two arches have to function together as one mouth.

THE MOUTH YOU HAVE TODAY MAY NOT BE THE MOUTH YOU STARTED WITH

Years of Wear, Tooth Loss and Previous Dentistry Can Change Restorative Relationships

The current bite may reflect decades of dental history. Missing teeth can change how other teeth are being used, while worn teeth and older restorations may gradually alter the available space or the way the arches meet.

That history matters when extensive treatment is being considered. Simply reproducing the shape of every older restoration may reproduce relationships that no longer make restorative sense.

Reconstruction creates an opportunity to reassess the system. The goal is to understand what relationships should be preserved and what needs to change for the new restorative plan to work.

REASSESS THE SYSTEM

The current bite tells part of the mouth's history.

Comprehensive planning can evaluate whether older relationships should be preserved, refined or rebuilt differently.

REBUILDING MANY TEETH CHANGES THE SMILE

Full-Mouth Reconstruction Is Restorative—But Appearance Cannot Be Ignored

When many visible teeth are changing, tooth length, proportion, shade and position begin affecting a large part of the smile. Those aesthetic considerations can become especially significant when treatment involves upper front teeth or both arches in the visible smile.

This is where Dr. Todd Reeves’ longstanding cosmetic background naturally belongs within a full-mouth reconstruction page. His experience adds an aesthetic perspective without turning comprehensive restorative treatment into cosmetic treatment alone.

Dr. Coleman’s restorative emphasis complements that perspective. The mouth still needs sound structural and functional planning even when the finished restoration occupies a major part of the smile.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISIONS

Which Teeth Should Be Rebuilt—and Which Teeth Should Be Replaced?

Comprehensive restorative dentistry frequently requires decisions about teeth that sit somewhere between perfectly healthy and obviously hopeless. A tooth may be heavily restored or damaged without automatically being beyond restoration.

Dr. Reeves therefore has to consider what healthy structure remains, the condition of previous dentistry, available support and how that tooth fits into the larger treatment. A natural tooth should not be removed simply because implants are available.

The opposite is also true. Repeatedly rebuilding a tooth that no longer provides a predictable foundation may prevent the larger restorative plan from becoming stable.

PRESERVATION + REPLACEMENT

They are not competing philosophies.

Both can belong within the same reconstruction. The decision should follow the individual tooth and the overall mouth.

REPLACING MISSING SUPPORT

Dental Implants Can Play Different Roles in Full-Mouth Reconstruction

An implant may replace one missing tooth in a mouth that otherwise retains many natural teeth. Several implants can also become part of a larger bridge or full-arch restorative design when more support is needed.

That makes implant planning different in comprehensive reconstruction than in a simple one-tooth case. The location of the implants, available bone, final restorative design and way the opposite arch functions all become connected decisions.

Dr. Coleman Reeves’ restorative focus includes dental implants and full-arch restorations, which makes implant-related planning naturally relevant within complex restorative cases. Implant treatment should still be viewed as one tool within the larger reconstruction rather than the definition of full-mouth treatment itself.

ONE ARCH CAN BECOME PART OF A LARGER CASE

Full-Arch Restoration Can Be One Piece of Full-Mouth Reconstruction

Sometimes one arch has far more serious problems than the other. A patient may need comprehensive upper-arch treatment while the lower arch requires selected crowns, replacement teeth or more limited restorative work.

Other patients may eventually require significant treatment across both arches. In those cases, separate upper and lower designs still need to be coordinated because each arch becomes the functional partner of the other.

Full-mouth reconstruction is not simply two full arches added together. It is the planning relationship between everything being restored.

ONE MOUTH

The final result has to work as one mouth.

Upper and lower restorative designs still need to function as partners, even when one arch requires more extensive treatment than the other.

COMPLEX CASES CAN INVOLVE MULTIPLE PHASES

Full-Mouth Reconstruction Can Include Restorative and Surgical Treatment

Some full-mouth plans remain primarily restorative. Others may involve removal of compromised teeth, implant placement, bone grafting or another surgical phase before portions of the final restoration can be completed.

Those procedures should not exist in separate planning worlds. If surgery is creating the foundation for future restorative teeth, the desired restorative result should influence the surgical plan from the beginning.

The final teeth should help determine the foundation. The foundation then has to support those teeth appropriately.

IS FULL-MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION APPROPRIATE?

The Number of Dental Problems Alone Does Not Determine The Treatment

Having several crowns or missing teeth does not automatically mean someone needs full-mouth reconstruction. The deciding question is whether the problems are interconnected enough that comprehensive planning provides an advantage over more limited treatment.

Oral Health

Dr. Reeves considers the gums, remaining natural tooth structure and the condition of existing dentistry before recommending a comprehensive plan.

General Health

If implants or surgery may be involved, medical history, tobacco use, bone and healing considerations become part of candidacy as well.

Maintainability

A large restorative plan only makes sense when the final dentistry can be cleaned, professionally maintained and realistically incorporated into the patient’s life.

Treatment planning should include what happens after the reconstruction is completed.

BUILD THE PLAN BEFORE REBUILDING THE MOUTH

Comprehensive Restorative Treatment Usually Happens in Phases

Understand What Is No Longer Working

The conversation begins with what the patient is actually experiencing. Broken teeth, missing teeth, worn teeth, old dentistry, difficulty chewing or dissatisfaction with previous restorations can all point toward different restorative priorities.

Evaluate Every Important Tooth and Restoration

Dr. Reeves examines what can remain, what needs protection and what may no longer provide a predictable foundation. Existing crowns, bridges, implants and other previous dental work are evaluated as part of the current mouth.

Understand the Bite

Upper and lower teeth are evaluated together because their relationships affect the restorative plan. Tooth wear, available space and force distribution can influence the shape and material of future restorations.

Decide What Can Be Preserved

Natural teeth that remain predictably maintainable can become part of the final reconstruction. Preservation decisions should occur before the treatment plan becomes committed to replacement.

Decide What Needs Replacement

Missing or non-restorable teeth require a different conversation. Bridges, implants, full-arch designs or other replacement approaches can be compared depending on the individual situation.

Design the Treatment Sequence

Large restorative plans commonly involve several procedures over time. The sequence matters because one stage can create the space, foundation or healing conditions needed for another stage.

Complete Necessary Surgical Treatment

Extractions, implants or grafting may be included when the treatment plan requires them. The responsibility for each surgical phase should be clearly understood before treatment begins.

Rebuild the Restorative Foundation

Crowns, bridges, implant restorations or provisional dentistry may be completed according to the planned sequence. Each restoration should relate to the larger mouth rather than simply completing a checklist.

Evaluate Function and Appearance

Temporary or provisional restorations may sometimes provide an opportunity to evaluate bite, shape and appearance before certain final restorations are completed. The exact workflow depends on the reconstruction.

Complete and Maintain the Final Result

Final restorations are completed once the restorative and biological conditions are appropriate. Professional follow-up and daily maintenance then become part of keeping a large restorative investment functioning over time.

THE PLAN MAY BE TESTED BEFORE IT IS FINAL

Some Reconstructions Use Provisional Restorations

Large restorative cases may sometimes include temporary or provisional dentistry before all final restorations are completed. Those restorations can provide useful information about tooth shape, bite relationships, appearance and how the patient functions with the proposed design.

A provisional phase does not mean every treatment decision remains uncertain. It simply acknowledges that comprehensive restorative dentistry sometimes benefits from evaluating relationships in the mouth before the final materials are committed.

PROVISIONAL PHASE

The temporary phase can be part of the planning.

The final restoration does not always need to be the first version of the reconstruction.

COSMETIC AND RESTORATIVE INTENT ARE DIFFERENT

A Smile Makeover and Full-Mouth Reconstruction Solve Different Primary Problems

SMILE MAKEOVER

Aesthetic concerns lead the plan.

A smile makeover begins primarily with aesthetic concerns. Tooth color, shape, alignment and proportions may lead to treatment even when the teeth are otherwise structurally healthy.

FULL-MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION

Restorative and functional problems lead the plan.

Full-mouth reconstruction begins with a broader restorative problem involving function, damage, missing teeth or extensive previous dentistry. Appearance still matters, but the reason for treatment is not limited to changing the way the smile looks.

The two can overlap.

A comprehensive reconstruction can dramatically change appearance because many visible teeth are being restored. The restorative needs should still determine treatment before cosmetic goals determine the design.

THE SCALE OF TREATMENT SHOULD MATCH THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM

More Dentistry Is Not Automatically More Complete Dentistry

A patient can have several dental problems without needing both arches comprehensively reconstructed. If those problems can be predictably treated as individual or regional issues, a full-mouth approach may represent more treatment than necessary.

Large treatment can also create larger commitments involving time, cost, maintenance and future care. Comprehensive planning should reduce unnecessary dentistry rather than become an excuse to perform it.

THE GOAL

Recognize when the mouth genuinely benefits from one restorative plan.

The scale of the treatment should match the scale of the problem.

TWO GENERATIONS OF REEVES DENTISTRY

Full-Mouth Restorative Planning With Dr. Todd Reeves and Dr. Coleman Reeves

DR. TODD REEVES

Decades of comprehensive and cosmetic experience.

Dr. Todd Reeves established Reeves Cosmetic Dentistry in Greystone in October 1997 after earning his dental degree from UAB in 1995, graduating second in his class. His continuing education has included cosmetic training through the Las Vegas Institute, bringing decades of comprehensive and aesthetic dentistry into the practice.

DR. COLEMAN REEVES

Restorative focus including crowns, implants and full-arch care.

Dr. Coleman Reeves followed his father into dentistry after earning his own dental degree from UAB. His restorative focus includes crowns, dental implants and full-arch restorations, which becomes particularly relevant when treatment involves many interconnected restorative problems.

Their perspectives complement one another in comprehensive cases.

Todd brings decades of restorative and cosmetic experience, while Coleman brings a particular emphasis on complex restorative planning.

COMPLEX TREATMENT HAS A SEQUENCE

How Long Does Full-Mouth Reconstruction Take?

There is no responsible universal timeline because the phrase full-mouth reconstruction can describe very different treatment plans. A case involving several crowns may follow a dramatically different schedule from one involving implants, extractions, grafting, healing and full-arch restoration.

Comprehensive treatment can therefore unfold over multiple appointments and, in some cases, over several months. Biological healing and restorative sequencing may determine portions of the schedule rather than convenience alone.

Faster is useful when the plan allows it. Speed should not determine what the mouth needs.

COMPREHENSIVE DENTISTRY STILL NEEDS MAINTENANCE

Full-Mouth Reconstruction Is a Long-Term Investment—Not a Lifetime Guarantee

There is no single lifespan that applies to every reconstruction. Natural teeth, crowns, bridges, implants, prosthetic materials, gum health, bite forces and hygiene can all influence how different parts of the treatment perform over time.

Those components may not age at exactly the same rate. One restoration can eventually require attention while the majority of the reconstruction continues functioning appropriately.

That does not automatically mean the entire treatment has failed. A reconstructed mouth remains a living dental system that requires professional care as both the dentistry and the patient continue to change.

Natural Teeth

Remaining natural teeth continue to need normal biological care. Their condition can influence the reconstruction over time.

Restorations + Implants

Crowns, bridges and implant restorations can have different maintenance needs and may not age at exactly the same rate.

The Bite

Grinding, clenching and changes in how the teeth meet can influence long-term performance across a large restorative case.

THE LAST PHASE DOES NOT END AT DELIVERY

Full-Mouth Reconstruction Should Be Designed for Life After Treatment

Extensive dentistry still needs daily cleaning and professional evaluation. The exact hygiene routine depends on whether the reconstruction includes individual crowns, bridges, natural teeth, implants or larger connected restorations.

The bite also deserves continued evaluation because the mouth continues to function after the restorative work is completed. Grinding, clenching, wear or changes elsewhere in the mouth can influence how restorations perform over time.

Maintenance is part of the treatment plan. The reconstruction has to work in everyday life, not only on the day the final dentistry is completed.

PLANNING A COMPREHENSIVE RESTORATIVE INVESTMENT

How Much Does Full-Mouth Reconstruction Cost in Birmingham?

There is no meaningful universal price because full-mouth reconstruction is not one standardized procedure. One patient may require several crowns and replacement teeth, while another may require surgery, implants, provisional restorations and extensive treatment across both arches.

Cost can therefore depend on the number of teeth involved, restorative materials, implants, surgical procedures, laboratory requirements and overall complexity of the treatment sequence. A useful estimate should explain what is being rebuilt and which phases are included rather than attaching one number to the phrase “full-mouth reconstruction.”

FINANCING

CareCredit is currently a financing option.

Current availability and financing terms can change, so details should be confirmed with our practice when treatment is being planned.

WHY REEVES

Full-Mouth Reconstruction Within a Comprehensive Restorative Practice

Two Reeves Dentists

Dr. Todd Reeves and Dr. Coleman Reeves both contribute to the restorative side of the practice. Complex treatment can therefore be considered through more than one generation of Reeves dentistry rather than around one procedure alone.

Nearly Three Decades in Greystone

Dr. Todd Reeves established the practice in 1997. That history is particularly relevant for comprehensive care because restorative needs often evolve over years rather than appearing as one isolated event.

Complex Restorative Focus

Dr. Coleman Reeves’ restorative emphasis includes crowns, dental implants and full-arch restorations. Those areas naturally intersect when a patient requires reconstruction across several parts of the mouth.

Cosmetic Perspective

Rebuilding many visible teeth inevitably changes appearance. Todd’s cosmetic background allows aesthetic decisions to be incorporated without allowing cosmetic preferences to replace the structural reasons the teeth are being restored.

Crown, Implant and Full-Arch Capabilities

The procedures needed inside a reconstruction already exist within the Reeves restorative treatment architecture. Full-mouth reconstruction becomes the planning level that coordinates those procedures.

Preservation Before Replacement

A complex case does not automatically become an implant case. The first question remains what can predictably remain and what actually needs to change.

FULL-MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION FAQS

Questions About Full-Mouth Reconstruction in Birmingham

What is full-mouth reconstruction?

Full-mouth reconstruction is comprehensive restorative treatment involving significant portions of both the upper and lower teeth. The exact treatment varies because the phrase describes the scope of the restorative problem rather than one standardized dental procedure.

Is full-mouth reconstruction the same as full-mouth rehabilitation?

The terms are often used to describe similar comprehensive restorative concepts. Both generally refer to treatment involving extensive restorative planning across the mouth rather than one isolated tooth.

Is full-mouth reconstruction the same as full-arch restoration?

Not exactly. Full-arch restoration generally focuses on one upper or lower arch, while full-mouth reconstruction involves significant restorative planning across both arches.

Does full-mouth reconstruction mean every tooth gets a crown?

No. Some teeth may require crowns, while others may remain untreated, receive a different restoration or require replacement depending on their condition.

Does full-mouth reconstruction mean removing all my teeth?

No. Preserving natural teeth that remain predictably maintainable can be an important part of a comprehensive restorative plan.

Who might need full-mouth reconstruction?

A patient may benefit from comprehensive planning when damaged teeth, missing teeth, substantial tooth wear or older dental work affect many areas of both arches. The key issue is whether those problems are interconnected enough that treating them separately would make the restorative plan less coherent.

Can dental implants be part of full-mouth reconstruction?

Yes. Implants may replace individual missing teeth or become part of larger bridges or full-arch restorations within a comprehensive case.

Does every full-mouth reconstruction use implants?

No. Some reconstructions may involve implants, while others can primarily involve restoration of existing natural teeth.

Can dental crowns be part of full-mouth reconstruction?

Yes. Crowns may be used to rebuild selected teeth that require broader coverage and structural support.

Can dental bridges be part of full-mouth reconstruction?

Yes. A fixed bridge may replace selected missing teeth when the neighboring teeth and overall restorative plan make it an appropriate option.

Can full-arch restoration be part of full-mouth reconstruction?

Yes. One arch may receive comprehensive full-arch treatment while the opposite arch receives a different level of restorative care, or both arches may require substantial treatment.

Is full-mouth reconstruction the same as a smile makeover?

No. A smile makeover is primarily driven by cosmetic goals, while full-mouth reconstruction begins with significant restorative and functional problems.

Can full-mouth reconstruction improve the appearance of my teeth?

It can change the appearance substantially when many visible teeth are being restored. Appearance remains important, but the structural and functional reasons for treatment should continue driving the plan.

Does my bite matter in full-mouth reconstruction?

Yes. Because treatment affects both upper and lower teeth, understanding how those arches meet and move against each other is particularly important.

Can worn teeth be rebuilt?

Potentially. The cause and extent of the wear, remaining tooth structure and bite all need to be evaluated before deciding how worn teeth should be restored.

Can old crowns and bridges be replaced during reconstruction?

Yes, when there is a clinical or restorative reason to replace them. Older dental work should not be removed simply because of age if it remains appropriate and functional.

Will I need temporary teeth during treatment?

Some comprehensive restorative cases use temporary or provisional restorations during portions of treatment. Whether they are needed depends on the individual treatment sequence.

Will I need surgery?

Not necessarily. Some cases remain primarily restorative, while others may involve extractions, implants, grafting or another surgical procedure.

How long does full-mouth reconstruction take?

Treatment time varies considerably because different plans involve different procedures and healing requirements. Large cases commonly require multiple appointments, and implant-related treatment may extend over several months.

How long does full-mouth reconstruction last?

There is no universal lifespan for a reconstruction. Materials, bite forces, hygiene, natural tooth condition, implant health and routine maintenance all affect how individual restorations perform over time.

How do I care for reconstructed teeth?

The exact cleaning routine depends on the restorative design. Regular home hygiene and professional follow-up remain important whether the treatment involves natural teeth, crowns, bridges or implants.

How much does full-mouth reconstruction cost in Birmingham?

Cost depends on the amount and type of treatment required. A meaningful estimate can only be created after the teeth, bite and restorative goals have been evaluated and a treatment sequence has been proposed.

Does insurance cover full-mouth reconstruction?

Coverage depends on the patient's plan and the individual procedures being performed. The Reeves team can review benefits after the proposed treatment has been defined.

Does Reeves provide full-mouth reconstruction?

Reeves provides the restorative services and comprehensive planning relevant to complex multi-tooth cases, including crowns, implant care and full-arch restoration. Dr. Todd Reeves and Dr. Coleman Reeves can evaluate whether a patient's problems should be treated individually or as a more comprehensive reconstruction.

How do I know if I really need full-mouth reconstruction?

You do not need to determine that before scheduling. Dr. Todd Reeves and Dr. Coleman Reeves can evaluate the upper and lower teeth together and determine whether the problems are truly interconnected enough to justify comprehensive treatment.

LOOK AT THE WHOLE MOUTH

When Do Several Dental Problems Become One Restorative Case?

Maybe crowns placed years apart are beginning to need attention, while other teeth have worn, broken or disappeared entirely. You may also have been discussing implants or full-arch treatment and are trying to understand how those procedures fit into everything else happening in your mouth.

You do not need to decide that you need full-mouth reconstruction before the consultation. Dr. Todd Reeves and Dr. Coleman Reeves can first determine what can remain, what needs rebuilding, what may require replacement and whether the upper and lower arches genuinely need to be planned together.

If comprehensive reconstruction makes sense, the next step is creating the sequence. Natural teeth, crowns, bridges, implants, bite relationships, appearance, restorative materials and future maintenance should all become parts of one coordinated plan.
