Full Mouth Reconstruction
When do I need full mouth reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction refers to the process of completely restoring all of the teeth in your mouth. Full mouth reconstruction, unlike a “smile makeover,” is a necessary series of procedures, rather than an elective surgery.
Full mouth reconstruction is needed when:
- Teeth have been lost
- Teeth have been injured or fractured
- Teeth have become worn as a result of acid-erosion
- Jaw pain is present due to bite problems
Regain a beautiful and functional smile!
Dr. Latthe and the team at The Woodlands Prosthodontics can use a variety of procedures to give you the smile that you want. Contact us today to schedule your appointment!
Procedures Involved in Full Mouth Reconstruction
Every patient’s full mouth reconstruction is different and, therefore, requires various different procedures. Usually, full mouth reconstruction requires multiple office visits and some amount of healing time.
Dr. Latthe will determine which procedure or combination of procedures is necessary to restore and rebuild your perfect smile. Dr. Latthe will also refer you to other dental specialists if needed.
Some options include:
- Teeth cleaning (prophylaxis)
- Crown lengthening to prepare tooth structure for possible crowns or bridges
- Surgery to reposition the jaw (orthognathic surgery)
- Contouring of the gum tissue
- Reduction of natural tooth structure to prepare for crowns, bridges, and veneers
- Placement of temporary restorations to get you used to your new teeth or bite adjustment
- Placement of permanent restorations such as crowns, veneers, inlays/onlays, or bridges
- Braces to move teeth into the ideal position for reconstruction
- Bone or soft tissue grafting to increase the stability of your teeth or

Patient Review by Marjory B
I had bad experiences with Dentists in the past. When I called and spoke with Dottie, I knew that I had found the perfect Dentist because she really cared and assured me that Dr. Latthe was awesome. Upon meeting Dr. Latthe and seeing the amazing work he did gave me my smile back. He truly cares about his patients and does beautiful work!

I have had a great ongoing experience with Dr Latthe, Dottie and the rest of the team. I moved from out of state and arrived at their office with complications. I was carefully walked through my options and answered all of my questions, so I was confident in the treatment plan. As I shared, I had a complication and Dr Latthe referred me to another dentist that could handle a different issue. But they didn’t stop there, they not only called the new office, helped me set the appt and sent my insurance paperwork so it was a seamless and easy thing for me. I have been working with this team the last couple of months, and every appointment is the same, everyone in the office is kind, I feel good about what we are doing and I am confident in the services provided. And perhaps you will be lucky enough to meet the cutest puppers, Chloe, who I would suggest be the office mascot Don’t hesitate, you will be in good hands.

I can honestly say that this has been the best dental experience of my life and there have been many. Dr. Latthe and Dottie made a very traumatic experience for me more comfortable and easy. The patience and care exhibited during the procedure and after was simply amazing and the results were remarkable. I literally cried when I looked in the mirror for the first time, tears of joy. I want to personally thank both of these wonderful people for changing my life.

Of course i was afraid of the dentist. Dr.V talk me through the whole process.He asked me questions to made sure that I was comfortable with step that he tooth while extracting a tooth that was barely there. Needless to say,but I am no longer afraid to go to the dentist. Thank you so very much Dr. Vaibhav Latthe for taking my pain away and making me so very comfortable. Your bed side manner is truly reassuring for scary cats like me.I would recommend you again and again,You're the BEST!Great Job. Sincerely Melanie Bell
