Your questions, answered.

San Antonio OMS is here to address all your questions and concerns regarding Full Mouth Reconstruction.

What’s the difference between Full Mouth
Reconstruction and cosmetic dentistry?

Full Mouth Reconstruction focuses on restoring function, health, and structure—addressing issues like missing teeth, bite misalignment, or jawbone loss. Cosmetic dentistry typically refers to elective treatments meant to enhance the appearance of your smile, such as whitening or veneers. Reconstruction is often medically necessary and may be partially covered by insurance.

Am I a candidate for Full Mouth Reconstruction?

You may be a candidate if you have multiple failing or missing teeth, worn-down enamel, chronic jaw pain, or damage from injury or decay. A consultation with our surgeons will help determine if reconstruction is right for you.

What’s the typical treatment timeline?

Timelines vary depending on your needs. Some cases may be completed in a few visits, while others are phased over several months to allow for healing between procedures. We’ll provide a customized plan with estimated timing.

Will I need to see a general dentist too?

Yes—Full Mouth Reconstruction often involves coordination between your oral surgeon and your general dentist or prosthodontist. We handle the surgical foundation (such as Implants or Bone Grafts), while your general dentist provides the final crowns or bridges.

How do I manage recovery and healing?

You’ll be provided with detailed post-op instructions to minimize discomfort and support healing. Rest, hydration, soft foods, and prescribed medications will all help. Follow-up appointments are key to ensuring smooth recovery.

Will my insurance cover the procedures?

Coverage depends on your specific plan and medical necessity. Some aspects of treatment may be covered under dental or medical insurance. Our team can help verify benefits and provide guidance on financing or payment options.
