Full-Mouth Reconstruction
Full-mouth reconstruction in Reston, VA: one coordinated plan combining implants, crowns, bridges, dentures and veneers, designed with cone beam CT imaging.
Rebuild your whole smile, one step at a time
Full-mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive approach for people dealing with multiple dental issues or extensive damage to their teeth and gums. Rather than treating one problem at a time, it rebuilds or replaces the teeth in your upper and lower jaws as one coordinated plan. Dr. Kiumars Karbasi, whose background includes advanced work in full-mouth reconstruction, combines the most appropriate treatments to restore your oral health, function and appearance. Your plan starts with a cone beam CT scan, which creates detailed 3-D images of your teeth, gums and jawbone so your new smile can be designed with precision. Complex cases are then staged into steps, with the bite planned as one system.

Full-mouth reconstruction FAQ
- What is a full-mouth reconstruction?
- A full-mouth reconstruction is an extensive plan to repair all your damaged and missing teeth. You and your dental team work together to develop a plan that gives you back a mouth full of beautiful and functional teeth. The plan most often includes a combination of dental implants, crowns, bridges and dentures. It is designed around your oral health, function and appearance as a whole.
- How long does a full-mouth reconstruction take?
- The time frame for a full-mouth reconstruction varies widely, depending on the extent of the damage and the treatments you choose. A plan built around conventional dentures can be completed sooner than one that involves implants. When implants are placed, they need time to heal and fuse before your new teeth are attached. We explain the time frame for your own plan before treatment begins.
- How much does a full-mouth reconstruction cost?
- The cost of a full-mouth reconstruction depends on the services you select to restore your smile. We work closely with you to identify the most cost-effective solutions. We can offer an estimate following your initial consultation. Some restorative services are typically covered in part by insurance, and we help you find out whether that applies to your plan.
- What treatments can be part of a reconstruction?
- A reconstruction combines whichever treatments your mouth needs, chosen from dental implants, dentures, crowns, bridges, veneers and fillings. Implants can support crowns, bridges or dentures, and All-on-4® uses four implants to support a full arch. Veneers improve the look of chipped, stained or worn teeth. Each treatment is chosen to restore your health, function and appearance together.
- How is a full-mouth reconstruction planned?
- A full-mouth reconstruction is planned with a cone beam CT scanner, which creates detailed 3-D images of your teeth, gums and jawbone. Those images let us design your new smile with precision. Complex cases are staged into steps, with the bite planned as one system. Throughout the process, we explain each step and answer your questions, so you are fully informed.
- Can I be sedated during treatment?
- Yes, sedation dentistry is available, so you do not need to feel nervous about your restorative treatment. Sedation helps patients who feel anxious and supports comfort during longer appointments. You stay relaxed throughout your procedures. We talk through the options with you before your visit.
