At Melko Dental, many of our patients come to us feeling frustrated, self-conscious, or even in pain. Their teeth may be worn down from years of clenching or grinding. Some struggle to sleep at night because of facial tension or TMJ issues. Others simply don’t recognize their smile anymore.
When these concerns overlap, we often recommend full mouth reconstruction, a personalized, comprehensive plan to restore a healthy bite and bring back confidence in your smile.
Full mouth reconstruction is a restorative treatment approach designed to rebuild your smile from the ground up. It addresses multiple issues at once, from severely worn teeth to missing teeth, fractured restorations, and chronic jaw pain.
For many of our patients, the first sign that something is wrong is aesthetic. They come in saying, “I’m not happy with the way my smile looks.” But often, the root cause runs deeper.
Full mouth reconstruction allows us to restore the bite to a healthy, functional state. That foundation supports everything else, a more comfortable jaw, better sleep, and a smile that looks as good as it feels.
No two cases are the same, but common issues we address include:
A beautiful smile won’t last if it’s not built on the right functional foundation. In our philosophy, those two always go hand-in-hand. That’s why full mouth reconstruction is not just cosmetic, it’s comprehensive care that blends function and aesthetics from the start.
A collapsed or imbalanced bite can cause chronic muscle tension, TMJ discomfort, and headaches. By rebuilding the bite to its proper height and position, we relieve these symptoms and restore function.
Years of wear, missing teeth, and failed restorations don’t have to define your future. We restore what’s been broken — and engineer a smile that’s built to last.
Patients often leave our office smiling wider than they have in years. A healthy bite makes a beautiful smile possible and seeing that transformation is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.
We begin with a series of comprehensive diagnostic tools including digital photos, intraoral scans, and in some cases, CBCT imaging. These allow us to fully understand your bite, jaw alignment, and areas of breakdown.
We take time to listen carefully during this step, asking about your concerns, goals, and how your current symptoms are affecting your life.
Before we begin treatment, we show you what’s possible. Using 3D modeling and wax-ups, we create a custom “trial smile” that fits over your existing teeth. It’s a visual tool that builds confidence and allows us to make tweaks in a low-pressure way. You’ll have a chance to see your potential smile in the mirror and share feedback before anything becomes permanent.
From there, we begin rebuilding your smile, tooth by tooth. Depending on your case, this may include anything from removing old or defective restorations, placing crowns or missing teeth, or rebuilding your bite back to its original healthy height. We carefully protect the balance of your bite and jaw at every step so the final result isn’t just beautiful, but stable and comfortable.
Once your permanent restorations are ready, we bond them in place and review care instructions with you. Patients often tell us they feel like a different person once they see their new smile. Most of the time, it’s tears and then laughter. And then they say, ‘I wish I had done this 15 years ago.’
We know full mouth reconstruction can feel overwhelming. That’s why we make sure no patient goes through it alone.
