Full Mouth Reconstruction

Restoring function, balance, and facial harmony — not just teeth

Full Mouth Reconstruction (FMR) is a comprehensive, highly personalised treatment designed to rebuild the entire bite system—teeth, jaws, muscles, joints, and smile—so that they work together in comfort, stability, and long-term health.

This is not cosmetic dentistry alone.
It is a structured rehabilitation of how you bite, chew, speak, and function—often transforming pain, wear, collapse, or instability into a balanced, natural, and confident outcome.

Who is Full Mouth Reconstruction for?

You may benefit from Full Mouth Reconstruction if you experience:

Severely worn, broken, or collapsing teeth
Multiple failing crowns, bridges, or implants
Bite discomfort, facial pain, or headaches
TMJ symptoms such as clicking, locking, or muscle fatigue
Difficulty chewing or uneven bite contact
Jaw discrepancy or facial imbalance
Long-standing clenching or grinding (bruxism)
A desire to restore function and aesthetics properly, rather than repeatedly repairing problems

Many patients come to us after years of patchwork dentistry, where teeth were treated individually—but the bite system as a whole was never addressed.

Full Mouth Reconstruction is about the bite system

Your teeth do not exist in isolation. They are part of a dynamic system that includes:

The jaw joints (TMJs)
The muscles of chewing and facial expression
The airway and tongue posture
The jaw position and facial proportions
The way force is distributed during biting and chewing

When this system is unbalanced, teeth break, restorations fail, muscles fatigue, and pain develops.

Our approach begins with function first, aesthetics second—because a beautiful smile that does not function properly will not last.

The Comprehensive Assessment: how we plan your reconstruction

1. Occlusal & Bite Analysis

We assess how your upper and lower teeth meet, move, and distribute force:

Bite height and collapse
Premature contacts and interferences
Chewing patterns and guidance
Signs of overload or instability

This allows us to design a bite that is stable, comfortable, and protective of your teeth and joints.

2. TMJ & Muscle Assessment

The jaw joints and muscles are carefully evaluated for:

Clicking, popping, or locking
Joint inflammation or degeneration
Muscle overactivity or tenderness
Parafunctional habits such as clenching

A healthy reconstruction must respect the TMJ—otherwise pain and dysfunction can worsen over time.

3. Myofunctional Assessment

We assess how the tongue, lips, and facial muscles function at rest and during swallowing and speech.

Poor tongue posture or muscle imbalance can:

Destabilise the bite
Contribute to relapse
Affect airway and long-term comfort

Where needed, myofunctional therapy or habit correction is incorporated into the plan.

4. Digital Bite Analysis (T-Scan)

We use advanced digital technology to measure bite forces in real time:

Identifies excessive pressure points invisible to the eye
Analyses left–right force balance
Helps fine-tune occlusion with precision

This allows us to balance your bite scientifically, reducing the risk of fracture, discomfort, or implant overload.

5. Bite Force & Load Assessment

Understanding how strongly and where you bite helps guide:

Material selection
Implant positioning
Occlusal design

Patients with high bite forces require reinforced designs and precise force distribution to ensure longevity.

6. Jaw Position & Jaw Discrepancy

We assess jaw relationships in three dimensions:

Upper–lower jaw harmony
Facial symmetry and proportions
Vertical dimension of the face

In some cases, restoring the correct jaw position alone can dramatically improve:

Facial support
Lip posture
Smile fullness
Neck and muscle comfort

Dental Implants in Full Mouth Reconstruction

Titanium Dental Implants

Titanium implants remain a gold standard due to their strength and long-term data. They are often selected where:

High bite forces are present
Structural reinforcement is required
Complex load distribution is needed

Ceramic Dental Implants

Ceramic (zirconia) implants may be recommended for patients who:

Prefer metal-free solutions
Have biological or aesthetic considerations
Require superior soft-tissue integration

Both options are carefully selected based on function, biology, and longevity, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Smile Design: function-driven aesthetics

A beautiful smile should look natural and feel effortless.

Smile design considers:

Smile curve and lip dynamics
Tooth proportions and symmetry
Facial harmony at rest and in motion
Speech and phonetics

Importantly, your smile is designed within your functional envelope—so it looks good without straining muscles or joints.

The Reconstruction Process: what to expect

In-depth consultation and diagnostics
Digital planning and test-drive phase (provisionals or splints where needed)
Stabilisation of bite and joints
Phased reconstruction using crowns, bridges, veneers, and implants
Fine occlusal tuning using digital bite analysis
Long-term maintenance and protection

This process may take several months, allowing your body to adapt safely and predictably.

What patients often notice after reconstruction

Comfortable, even bite
Reduced facial tension or headaches
Improved chewing efficiency
Better posture and jaw comfort
Restored facial support and smile confidence
Greater longevity of dental work

My philosophy

Dentistry should never be about treating teeth in isolation.

Every tooth is part of a larger system that includes the bite, jaw joints, muscles, and facial structure. When this system is ignored, dentistry may look good initially, but often fails over time.

My approach is simple: function first, balance always, aesthetics follow naturally.

Occlusion—the way your teeth meet and move—is the foundation of long-term dental health. An unstable bite can lead to tooth wear, fractured restorations, TMJ symptoms, and facial pain. That is why every treatment begins with understanding how you function, not just how your teeth look.

I place strong emphasis on respecting the jaw joints and muscles, assessing bite forces, and designing dentistry that works in harmony with the body. Technology such as digital bite analysis and three-dimensional imaging supports this process, allowing for precision and predictability.

Above all, I focus on longevity over speed. The goal is dentistry that feels comfortable, functions effortlessly, and stands the test of time—so it becomes something you no longer have to think about.
