Full Mouth Reconstruction in North London

A full mouth reconstruction is a major step. It is usually chosen when problems are widespread and no single treatment would fix them. You might have several missing teeth, many teeth with large fillings that are failing, or cracked and broken teeth. Severe tooth wear from long-term acid exposure or teeth grinding may have changed your bite. Many of our patients from North London seek this treatment to address jaw, muscle, and headache pain linked to bite problems. If your dental health lowers your quality of life, a comprehensive consultation is warranted.

Your treatment is a planned journey, not a single visit. First, you have a 60-minute consultation with a full exam, digital imaging, and a 3D CBCT scan to assess your jawbone and teeth. Next, we present a phased plan. This often starts with addressing gum disease or other health issues. Then we move to the restorative phase, which may involve implants that require 3–6 months to heal, followed by crowns, veneers, or bridges over several appointments. The whole process spans months to over a year, with regular check-ins to ensure progress. We provide comfortable temporary restorations along the way.

The core of this work is a mix of treatments tailored to you. This could include dental implants to replace missing teeth, crowns to protect damaged teeth, and bridges to fill gaps. For cosmetic improvements, we might use porcelain veneers. Orthodontic steps like Invisalign may be needed first to align your teeth. For example, a patient from Highgate with severe wear from grinding needed crowns on all back teeth to rebuild the bite, plus two implants for teeth lost years ago. The process took 11 months and relieved jaw pain. Another patient from Barnet first had periodontal therapy to control gum disease before replacing old metal fillings with new ceramic crowns, a phased approach that took 8 months and laid a healthy foundation for the new smile.

Recovery depends on the procedures you have. After implant placement, expect mild to moderate discomfort for 3-5 days, managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Swelling is reduced with ice. We'll give dietary guidance, usually a soft food diet for the first week. The key is long-term maintenance. Your restored smile needs excellent oral hygiene—regular brushing, flossing, and hygiene appointments every 3-6 months. We may also create a custom nightguard to protect your teeth from grinding. Call during office hours if you have severe pain, swelling that worsens after 3 days, or a loose restoration. Your ongoing care matters for the long-term success of your investment.

A full mouth reconstruction is comprehensive. If problems are limited to one area, a lighter approach might suit you. A partial reconstruction or quadrant dentistry focuses on restoring one section of your mouth at a time. Another option is a removable appliance like a partial or full denture. While cheaper at first, dentures do not prevent bone loss and are less stable than implants. For some patients, spreading the plan over time makes it more manageable. We always discuss sensible options, helping you weigh long-term benefits against upfront costs.

Because this is personalised, a fixed price does not exist. Costs vary widely from £15,000 to over £40,000 depending on the number and type of treatments. For example, each dental implant starts from £2,500 excluding the final crown, and crowns or veneers are priced per tooth. At your consultation you receive a transparent, itemised plan with all costs clearly shown. There are no hidden fees. As a private practice, NHS treatment is not offered, but we accept plans from major insurers like Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. We help you understand your coverage and discuss payment options to make the treatment possible.

To decide wisely, ask the right questions whether you visit our Finchley practice or another North London provider. Inquire about the dentist’s experience with complex cases like yours and request before-and-after photos of similar work. Ask about the materials for crowns or implants. Demand a detailed timeline, including healing periods. Finally, obtain a clear written quote that shows what is included and what extra costs, such as bone grafting, might be.
