Full Mouth Restoration in Maple Ridge
At Kanaka Creek Family Dental, we help patients rebuild their smiles with comprehensive full mouth restoration and reconstruction. Whether you have experienced years of wear, trauma, decay, or missing teeth, our team can develop a personalised treatment plan to restore the health, function, and beauty of your entire smile.
Full mouth restoration — also called full mouth reconstruction — involves a combination of restorative and cosmetic dental procedures tailored to address multiple issues at once. This may include dental crowns, bridges, implants, veneers, root canal therapy, and gum treatments, all working together to give you a complete, fully functioning smile.
We use advanced digital technology including CEREC Primescan, PrimeMill, and CBCT 3D imaging to plan and execute your restoration with precision. Our in-house digital workflow means fewer appointments, faster results, and restorations that fit beautifully from day one.
Who Needs Full Mouth Restoration?
- Extensive Decay or Damage — Multiple teeth affected by cavities, cracks, or fractures that require coordinated treatment.
- Worn-Down Teeth — Years of grinding (bruxism), acid erosion, or aging can wear teeth down, affecting your bite and appearance.
- Missing Teeth — Several missing teeth that need replacement with implants, bridges, or dentures to restore chewing and speech.
- Failed Previous Dental Work — Old fillings, crowns, or bridges that have broken down and need to be replaced as part of a comprehensive plan.
- Bite & Jaw Issues — TMJ problems or an uneven bite that requires realignment through restorative treatment.
- Smile Makeover Goals — Patients who want a complete transformation combining function and aesthetics through smile design.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between full mouth restoration and a smile makeover?
A smile makeover focuses primarily on the cosmetic appearance of your teeth — things like colour, shape, and alignment. Full mouth restoration goes further by addressing both the function and aesthetics of your entire bite, including damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. Many patients combine both approaches through smile design to achieve a result that looks great and works perfectly.
- How long does full mouth restoration take?
The timeline depends on the complexity of your case and the procedures involved. Some plans can be completed in a few months, while more extensive reconstructions may take six to twelve months. Our digital technology, including CEREC same-day crowns and in-house 3D printing, helps reduce the number of appointments and overall treatment time.
- Is full mouth restoration painful?
We prioritise your comfort throughout every step. Local anaesthesia is used during procedures, and we offer sedation options for patients who experience dental anxiety. Most patients report that the process is far more comfortable than they expected, and any post-procedure soreness is manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
- What does smile design involve?
Smile design is a personalised planning process where we use digital imaging and your facial features to map out your ideal smile before any treatment begins. We consider tooth shape, size, colour, symmetry, and how your smile frames your face. This allows you to preview your results and collaborate with your dentist on the final look.
- How much does full mouth restoration cost?
The cost varies depending on the procedures required. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed treatment plan with a clear breakdown of costs. We also work with your insurance provider and offer flexible payment options to help make treatment accessible.
