Emergency Full Mouth Reconstruction in North London

This level of urgent care is needed after major trauma that goes beyond a chipped tooth or a lost filling. Seek an emergency assessment if you have significant dental trauma from a fall, a sports injury, or a car accident resulting in multiple broken or knocked out teeth. It is also appropriate if you have widespread dental problems such as failing bridges or crowns that suddenly lead to infection, abscess, or severe pain across several teeth. The goal of the emergency visit is to make you safe and comfortable while we plan the next steps. For patients across North London, we offer same day appointments during office hours to address these urgent needs.

A full mouth reconstruction is a process, not a single procedure. We manage it in clear phases to promote the best outcome. First, you will have an Emergency Stabilisation Appointment lasting about 60 to 90 minutes. The focus here is pain relief, treating infection with antibiotics or drainage if needed, and providing temporary protections for damaged teeth. Next is the Comprehensive Planning Phase. A few days later you return for a 60 minute session with 3D CBCT scans and digital imaging so we can design a complete plan. Then comes the Reconstructive Phase, which can take 3 to 12 months. This includes extractions, dental implant placement, root canals, and gum disease therapy. Finally the Final Restoration Phase fits your permanent crowns, bridges or veneers, usually over several appointments in 2 to 6 weeks. We ensure you have functional temporary teeth throughout.

Recovery depends on the phase of treatment. After the emergency visit expect tenderness for 2 to 4 days, managed with over the counter pain relief. You should follow a soft food diet for the first week to protect temporary restorations. After surgical procedures like implant placement you can expect swelling and discomfort for 3 to 5 days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions on brushing, flossing, and diet. In the long term your final smile needs good home care — brushing twice daily, flossing, and attending regular hygiene appointments — to last many years. Red flags requiring immediate contact: call our practice if you have uncontrollable bleeding, a fever above 38 C, or severe, increasing pain 3 days after a procedure during office hours. For out of hours emergencies go to the nearest A and E or call 111.

A full mouth reconstruction is a major undertaking. If it is not the right option, there are alternatives. A Phased or Prioritised Treatment Plan might focus only on the most urgent areas to restore function and relieve pain, with cosmetic work saved for a later date. Another option for multiple missing teeth is a Removable Partial or Full Denture. Dentures cost less and work faster than implants but are not fixed and can be less comfortable for eating and speaking. We can discuss the pros and cons based on your clinical needs and budget during your consultation.

To make an informed choice about your care whether with us or another practice in North London, consider these questions: What does the total quoted cost cover, and are scans, temporary teeth and follow up appointments included? What is the full timeline and what happens at each phase of the reconstruction? What materials do you recommend for crowns and implants and why? What are the success rates for the proposed procedures like dental implants? What arrangements exist for temporary teeth so I can function during treatment? Do you have experience with cases as complex as mine? What payment plan options are available, and do you accept insurance like Denplan or Cigna?

The cost of a full mouth reconstruction is highly personalised and varies based on the number of teeth and the combination of treatments needed such as implants and crowns. Costs can range from £15,000 to over £30,000. Your first step is an emergency consultation and assessment. After this we provide a fully itemised treatment plan with a transparent breakdown of all costs. There are no hidden fees. Example: a patient from Barnet needing four implants and a mix of crowns and bridges after an accident had a total cost around £18,500, phased over 9 months. We are a private practice and do not offer NHS treatment, but we do accept private dental insurance from providers including Max Bupa, Denplan and Cigna. We can help you understand and use your cover.
