What Can a Full Mouth Reconstruction Do For You?
Our Huntington Beach full mouth reconstruction patients don't just visit Dr. Mortensen for a beautiful smile. They also see him to:
Protect Their Health
Infection and tooth decay can eventually affect overall health, increasing your risk of heart disease and other health conditions. A full mouth reconstruction not only benefits your oral health, but can also protect your overall health.
Enhance Their Appearance
Full mouth reconstruction restores function and health, but it has a host of aesthetic benefits as well. Patients can enjoy a healthier smile that makes them feel more confident about their appearance. We design natural-looking restorations that blend in seamlessly with your smile.
Restore Their Oral Function
Missing or damaged teeth can make daily tasks like chewing or speaking a challenge. A full mouth reconstruction restores the form and function of your teeth, significantly improving your quality of life and relieving any pain or discomfort you may be experiencing.
One more benefit? Taking better care of your smile. When you have a beautiful, healthy-looking smile that you already take pride in, you’ll typically be more motivated to take good care of it. Establishing better habits can help stave off dental problems in the future, like periodontal disease and cavities.
Do You Have Any of These Symptoms? It's Time to Seek Treatment
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, we encourage you to request a consultation so we can examine your mouth.
- Missing teeth
- Damaged teeth
- Gum disease
- Decay
Depending on the extent of your case, you may require a single restorative treatment or a full mouth reconstruction. Dr. Mortensen will work with you to identify which procedures are best for you and your budget.

As you can see in this transformative before-and-after case, we can use full mouth reconstruction to address several concerns that detract from your smile. For example:
- We can replace older restorations that don’t match patients’ surrounding teeth
- We can dramatically brighten dull, stained teeth for a more uniform result
- We can cover up exposed tooth roots that age your smile and cause sensitivity
- We can lengthen the appearance of short, worn teeth either due to genetics or teeth grinding
Common Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedures Performed by Dr. Mortensen
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the most trusted solution when it comes to replacing missing teeth. Implants are inserted into the jaw, where they act as artificial tooth roots and provide a strong base for a crown, bridge, or denture. Implants can last a lifetime with proper care and prevent the jaw from weakening.
Dental Fillings
If you have a cavity, dental fillings replace decayed dental tissue and prevent bacteria from entering the tooth. We offer both silver amalgam and tooth-colored fillings which both last many years. Patients with more extensive decay may need a stronger dentistry restoration, such as a crown, to provide the level of reinforcement required.
Root Canal Therapy
When an infection reaches the soft inner tissue of the tooth, the pain can be severe and make it feel impossible to eat or sleep. A root canal removes the infected tissue and leaves the healthy exterior intact. After a root canal, our dentist will protect your tooth with a crown or filling.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are a versatile solution that can address a range of issues. A crown acts as a cap, completely covering a tooth from the gums to the chewing surface. It provides tremendous strength and allows you to chew and speak as you would normally. Our Huntington Beach practice offers both traditional and implant-supported crowns designed to fit precisely.
Dental Bridges
If you have one or more consecutive missing teeth, a dental bridge can fill in the gaps and restore your ability to chew. We offer traditional and implant-supported bridges and can help determine which option is best for you. Our dentist also uses advanced technology to ensure a comfortable fit that mimics the appearance of natural teeth.
Dentures
With dentures, we can replace a full or partial arch of missing teeth. When attached to dental implants, dentures are as stable as natural teeth. This improved security means no need to worry about your restoration falling out of place when you're least expecting it, and you can chew and enunciate normally.

View on GoogleIs a Smile Makeover the Same as Full Mouth Restoration?
Smile makeovers and full mouth restoration both address several types of dental issues with a single customized treatment plan. Where they differ is in their primary goal. While there is quite a bit of overlap between cosmetic and restorative dental procedures, smile makeovers are most concerned with aesthetic upgrades. Full mouth reconstruction, on the other hand, focuses on repairing damage for strong, healthy teeth and a well-aligned bite.
Frequently Asked Questions About Full Mouth Reconstruction
Does full mouth reconstruction hurt?
No, it doesn't. We will do everything we can to ensure your dental care is as painless as possible. No matter what your full mouth reconstruction involves, our dentist can apply local anesthetic to the area, so you are completely comfortable before treatment begins. Dr. Mortensen also offers sedation dentistry to provide an extra level of comfort for patients who need it.
How long will my treatment take?
A full mouth reconstruction is completely customized to your needs. Some patients will only need a few procedures, while others will need more in-depth treatment. Healing times must also be considered, especially for treatments such as dental implants. It is impossible to give an accurate timeframe before your initial consultation. After your treatment plan is developed, we can provide an estimated timeline of your full mouth reconstruction.
How long do restorations like dentures and crowns last?
Restorations are made of durable, natural-looking material. With proper care and maintenance, they can last over a decade. Maintain good oral hygiene, visit your dentist regularly, and do not use your teeth or restorations for tasks such as opening packages. Your dental team will provide you with the information you need to maintain your smile for years to come.

Maintaining Your Newly Restored Smile After Full Mouth Restoration
Once your dental treatment is complete, we know you’ll want to actively work towards maintaining your results. While we use the highest quality materials and techniques to maximize your investment, consider:
Maintaining Regular Visits to Our Office
Most patients can benefit from twice-yearly check-ups and exams. If you require ongoing periodontal treatment, you might need to visit us more frequently. We’ll not only remove built-up plaque and tartar but also check the integrity of any crowns, bridges, veneers, or dentures you’ve received.
Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene at Home
Practicing good dental habits over the long term can go a long way toward protecting your teeth and gums. Make sure to brush at least twice a day with a toothpaste containing fluoride and floss your teeth at least once a day. We can provide more guidance if you suffer from gum disease.
