FULL DENTAL RECONSTRUCTION - A COMPLETE DENTAL TRANSFORMATION
Full dental reconstruction is considered to be the unique way to restore the
lost tooth structure to its original shape, function and appearance. As the advancements in dentistry are
drastically growing up day by day, many new dental materials used to replace the lost tooth structure
are being introduced that exactly simulates the original tooth. A combination of expertise dentist hand
and selection of right dental material will aid to give successful results. Full dental reconstruction
requires multiple treatments in oral cavity.. it is different from cosmetic dentistry as cosmetic dentistry
is just a choice but full dental reconstruction is completely a necessity to get back lost function,
appearance and alignment.
Rationale to full mouth reconstruction:
The dedicated doctors team @THE DENTAL SPECIALISTS,INDIA work with a motto to
increase the longevity of health and function of existing dentition. Full dental reconstruction is
considered when there is a diagnosed irreversible damage with all the teeth in the oral cavity. Any
damage to the teeth can occur only from two ways i.e. one due to teeth breakdown and the other is due
to the supporting tissues break down. Never come to conclusion that full mouth reconstruction will be
necessary only for elderly people because of damage or wear and tear of teeth. There are certain
conditions affecting adult teeth also resulting in teeth break down and wear at an early age thereby
creating a scenario for full dental reconstruction.
Who are the candidates for full mouth reconstruction?
We are hereby giving a short note of those conditions which requires full mouth
reconstruction.
• Severely worn out teeth resulting in shorter teeth further leading to the shorter face with
wrinkles giving an aged look
• Severe bruxism i.e. grinding or clenching ones teeth during sleep may lead to teeth wear
• Severe teeth break down to such an extent where there is repeated failure of artificial
restorations
• Sudden trauma from an accident leading to multiple teeth fractures and falling of teeth in total
• Any temporo mandibular joint (joint where lower jaw approximates skull bone) disorders
• Developmental defects such as defective enamel and dentin formation which is less resistant
wear and decay.
• Severe gum infection leading to mobility of teeth
• Severe dental florousis leading teeth discoloration and weakened teeth
• Chronic smokers where there is severe bone loss around teeth
• In uncontrolled diabetics with severe gum disease
• In oral cancer patients along with teeth, jaw bone is also reconstructed
• Multiple carious teeth i.e. rampant caries
• Multiple missing teeth both inbuilt by birth or acquired through teeth removal during life time.
• When there are unacceptable spaces in between teeth
• Irregularly aligned and crooked teeth
• Combination of any above
Full dental reconstruction: Multidisciplinary restorative procedure:
Full dental reconstruction is a lengthy restorative procedure which requires
multiple dental treatments, expertise dentist hands and advanced dental restorative materials. Doctors

capability of previewing the treatment outcome which is technically challenging task for every
restorative dentist. This procedure cannot alone be performed by a single dentist. For a successful full
dental reconstruction, a team of doctors who are specialized in various branches of dentistry are
essential. There are team of 40 well experienced and specialized doctors @THE DENTAL SPECIALISTS,

How the process is initiated?
When you walk in for your first consultation @ TDS INDIA, the dentist will examine and
evaluate your dental condition. After clinical evaluation if necessary an OPG i.e. a full mouth x-ray is
advised which is available INHOUSE thereby avoiding the need of approaching any other diagnostic
center. After evaluating the x ray the dentist will explain the necessary treatment plan and how it can be
executed? You can discuss and clear all your doubts on the future treatment plan. You also have a free

Also, the dentist will take impressions and photographs of your teeth. Using
these photographs, models and radiographs the team of doctors will discuss and build an appropriate
treatment plan to restore the former function, appearance and alignment of your teeth.
What are the procedures involved in Full dental reconstruction?
As we already discussed before full dental reconstruction is a comprehensive dental
procedure with multiple dental treatments. Some of the are:
• Dental implants for missing teeth
• Root canal therapy for severe tooth decay
• Crowns and bridges over the implants or root canal treated teeth
• Simple extractions for mobile teeth and surgical extractions for impacted or grossly decayed
teeth.
• Dental veneers for discolored teeth
• Tooth color fillings
• Full contour crowns for severely worn out teeth
• Gum surgeries for severe gum disease to give a strong foundation.
• Temporary crowns and bridges to get accustomed to future artificial prosthesis in the oral cavity
• Orthodontic correction for irregularly aligned and crooked teeth
What if multiple teeth are affected? How is it addressed?
If multiple teeth are affected with multiple issues like severe tooth decay, severe gum
disease exhibiting different grades of mobility, several missing teeth etc then a full dental
reconstruction will be advised. The sequence of treatment is as follows:
Oral prophylaxis i.e. Teeth cleaning
Any extractions i.e. Teeth removal
Any required gum surgeries
Any root canal treatment( single or multiple teeth)
Dental implant placement(single or multiple implants)
Crown preparation / implant impression i.e. measurement for future crown
Temporary crowns fixed over the prepared teeth/implant(not necessary every time)
Metal try in /coping trial(in case of full mouth crowns and bridges)
Bisque trial to check for any further corrections required(in case of full mouth crowns and bridges)
Permanent crowns cementation
NOTE: If orthodontic braces are indicated, after root canal therapy and crown placement the braces will
be bonded to the teeth surfaces.
What is the time taken for full dental reconstruction?
In ideal conditions i.e. if the patient is co-operative to such lengthy full mouth
reconstruction, the entire process will be finished in 2 to 9 days. The duration may vary depending on
the number of teeth involved and complexity of dental procedures which we are performing. Sometimes
if any complex dental treatments are involved or if the patient is geriatric and medically compromised it
might take around a month or so.
DENTAL IMPLANT @ THE DENTAL SPECIALISTS,INDIA:
If an dental implant is planned @ THE DENTAL SPECIALISTS,INDIA, you will be
provided with an added advantage of immediate loading i.e. permanent teeth can be fixed over the
dental implant within 48 hours rather than waiting 3 - 6 months post implant placement as in
conventional implant method. This is possible only with the use TTPHIL ALL TILT implant placement
technique, which is exceptionally simplified by placing tilted and tall implant using pin hole, flapless
method. With TTPHIL ALL TILT technique, patient feels extremely comfortable during and after implant
placement also.
NOTE: If an orthodontic correction with dental braces is involved it may take around 8 - 16 months
depending on the type of correction needed.
Cost of Full Dental Reconstruction:
The cost of full dental reconstruction depends on various factors like
Method of implantation technique and number of implants used:
1.Conventional Implant and delayed loading using two piece/three piece crestal implants
2. TTPHIL ALLTILT technique and immediate loading using two piece cortical implants
3. Single or multiple implants based on the number of teeth missing
4.ALL ON FOUR,ALL ON SIX/EIGHT,TTPHIL ALLTILT 6 implant tecniques for completely edentulous
Material of crown selected:
1. Metal
2. Metal ceramic
3. Full ceramic
4. Zirconia
Others:
1. Root Canal Treatment: Rotary and Manual
2. Teeth removal: Simple or Minor surgical procedure
3. Gum surgeries: Manual or Laser
4. Orthodontic braces: Metal, Ceramic and Clear Aligners
An approximate estimate for full dental reconstruction:
It is very tough task to give a rough estimate for a full dental reconstruction without
properly evaluating the clinical condition. Anyhow considering a moderate to extensive damage to the
all the teeth in the oral cavity the treatment cost may range from 80,000 - 4,90,000 INR per arch which
includes implants, root canals and gum therapies etc. If you want to get a final estimate for your
