Full Mouth Dental Reconstruction in Lima

If you’re dealing with multiple dental problems at once, it can feel overwhelming. You may have missing teeth, old dental work that keeps failing, worn-down teeth from bruxism, gum issues, or infections that keep coming back.

In cases like these, full mouth dental reconstruction is a complete, carefully planned approach that restores comfort, function, and appearance at the same time.

First things first: A detailed diagnosis with 3D imaging gives us a 100% accurate diagnosis. Our dental tomography scan and integrated software is included in our consultation fee.

When do patients usually need full mouth dental reconstruction?

Full mouth dental reconstruction is often recommended when several problems are happening together, for example:

✅ multiple missing teeth (or teeth that cannot be saved)
✅ chronic infections, abscesses, or recurring pain
✅ advanced tooth decay across many teeth
✅ worn teeth from grinding or clenching (bruxism)
✅ bite collapse or “shorter” looking teeth over time
✅ gum disease that has affected support and stability

Even if you’re not in pain right now, these issues can still progress quietly. That’s why proper planning matters.

Step one: diagnose and plan in 3D

Before choosing any treatment, the priority is a detailed diagnosis. We use 3D imaging (dental tomography) and planning software to evaluate the bone, roots, bite, and any hidden problems that can’t be seen clearly on standard 2D images.

Because of that, we can plan your full mouth dental reconstruction with much more precision, including:
✅ what can be saved vs. what should be replaced
✅ where implants can be placed safely (when needed)
✅ whether bone grafting or tissue regeneration may be required
✅ how to rebuild a stable, comfortable bite

Option 1: full mouth dental implants (All-on-4 or All-on-6)

This approach usually includes removing remaining teeth that cannot be saved, placing dental implants, and later installing a full bridge of new teeth.

It’s commonly called All-on-4 or all-on-six because the bridge is supported by either four or six implants.

This option tends to be ideal when:
✅ remaining teeth are severely infected or structurally compromised
✅ gum disease has made teeth unstable
✅ most teeth are missing already
✅ saving the remaining teeth would not be predictable long-term

Additional details for full arch implants

Replacing a full arch of teeth with implants is a delicate procedure. For that reason, it often includes complementary treatments such as extractions, bone grafting, or tissue regeneration, depending on what your scan shows.

The main goal is simple: create stable “anchors” (implants) that can safely support your final teeth for chewing.

Option 2: restoring natural teeth and rebuilding the bite (vertical dimension)

Whenever teeth can be saved, restoring them individually is often the most conservative approach.

This option focuses on rehabilitating the teeth that still have healthy roots, while replacing missing teeth with implants only where needed.

This is especially common when:
✅ teeth are worn down from grinding (bruxism)
✅ the bite has lost vertical height over time
✅ several teeth need crowns, onlays/inlays, or root canal treatment
✅ you want a less invasive plan whenever possible

Here’s a fantastic example of a Before & After x-ray for this type of treatment:

Root canal treatment, extractions, bone grafts and dental implants. All these treatments were used to restore this patients full mouth dental reconstruction.

How about that for a result?!

A major advantage here is that natural teeth continue to support the gums and jawbone. Also, because each tooth is restored individually, many patients find daily hygiene easier since you can floss between teeth.

By contrast, a full arch bridge on implants is one solid structure, so it requires a different cleaning routine.

Treatment time required and travel planning

Full mouth dental reconstruction is always personalized, so timelines vary. However, a helpful rule is this:

✅ if implants are involved, treatment is usually done in two phases
✅ if implants are not required, treatment may be completed in a single trip

Full Mouth Dental Reconstruction

There is nothing better than a natural tooth to give the correct support to the gums and jaw bone. When a natural tooth can be saved through restorative treatments such as root canal treatment and/or crowns, then this keeps the soft tissue, ligaments, and bone in place.

This is a much better approach because there is no invasive manipulation such as extraction, bone grafting or dental implant placement.

Restoring each tooth individually is a more conservative, less invasive approach which many patients prefer. The aim is to save the remaining natural teeth which enable better oral hygiene. It also gives the possibility to floss between independent teeth.

Option one, however, using full arch implants, does not allow this possibility because the new teeth held by dental implants is a solid structure. In other words, a full arch bridge or full arch denture.

Here’s an example of how teeth can be restored without removing them, but restoring them individually instead.

A full mouth of 3D CAD CAM porcelain crowns can make the world of difference. Teeth can be re-aligned, shape and color is improved, plus the esthetics are fabulous.

Treatment Time Required: Full Mouth Reconstruction

For many full mouth dental reconstruction cases, phase one requires a stay of roughly five to seven days in Lima.

During that time, all dental procedures are performed and we see you regularly to check healing and inflammation.

What recovery is like

Recovery depends on what’s included in your plan. Surgical steps like extractions, grafting, or implant placement can involve swelling and tenderness for a few days. Meanwhile, restorative steps like crowns and veneers are typically very manageable.

Most importantly, full mouth dental reconstruction is planned to keep treatment organized and predictable, so you’re not guessing what happens next.

A dental implant is the best way to restore a missing tooth, or several missing teeth.

Our team and how we approach complex cases

Full mouth dental reconstruction often involves more than one specialty. Our team includes specialists involved in surgical, implant, and restorative dentistry, including Dr Enrique Yuen, Dr Jung Song, and Dr Daniel Yuen.

For root canal and restorative-focused cases, Dra Sandra Bobbio supports treatment planning when saving natural teeth is the best path.

Our abutments and crowns over implants are custom made by 3D CAD CAM. And the best part? It requires just one appointment!

Other Options

If dental implants and surgeries are not required, then treatment is performed using restorative methods such as inlay restorations, crowns, veneers and perhaps root canal treatments.

These procedures are all completed in just a single trip to Lima with no need to return at a later date.

Veneers are a fantastic option to improve any smile!

❓ What is full mouth dental reconstruction in Lima?
Full mouth dental reconstruction in Lima is a personalized treatment plan that restores function, comfort, and aesthetics across most or all teeth. Depending on your case, it can include dental implants, crowns, root canals, gum treatment, bite correction, and cosmetic improvements.

❓ Who is a good candidate for full mouth dental reconstruction?
You may be a candidate if you have multiple missing teeth, worn teeth from bruxism, ongoing infections, failing dental work, gum disease, or difficulty chewing. A clinical exam plus 3D imaging is the safest way to confirm the right plan.

❓ What is the difference between full mouth reconstruction and a smile makeover?
A smile makeover focuses mainly on aesthetics (shape, color, alignment). Full mouth reconstruction focuses on health and function first: bite stability, infections, missing teeth, jaw support, and long-term durability. Many cases include both.

❓ Do I need dental implants for full mouth reconstruction?
Not always. Some patients can restore natural teeth with crowns, root canal treatment, onlays/inlays, and selective implants only where needed. Implants are usually recommended when teeth are not restorable or are already missing.

❓ What is All-on-4 or All-on-6 and when is it recommended?
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are full-arch implant solutions where a fixed bridge is supported by four or six implants. It’s often recommended when most teeth must be removed or cannot be predictably saved.

❓ Can full mouth reconstruction fix a collapsed bite or loss of vertical dimension?
Yes. Rebuilding vertical dimension can improve chewing function, reduce muscle fatigue, and restore facial support when teeth have been worn down over time. This approach may use crowns, onlays, and bite planning to re-establish a stable, comfortable bite.

❓ How long does full mouth dental reconstruction take?
Timing depends on whether implants are needed. Implant cases typically require two phases because implants need a healing period before the final teeth are placed. Non-implant reconstructions may be completed in a single trip depending on complexity.

❓ How many trips to Lima are needed for full mouth dental implants?
Most full-arch implant cases are done in two phases: phase one for surgery and initial healing checks, then phase two after healing for the final teeth. Your exact travel plan depends on whether you need extractions, bone grafting, or sinus work.

❓ Is 3D scanning (CBCT) necessary before full mouth reconstruction?
Yes for safe planning, especially for implants. A CBCT scan helps evaluate bone volume, nerve position, sinuses, infections, and risk areas so the plan is precise and predictable.

❓ Does full mouth reconstruction hurt?
Most patients report manageable discomfort, especially when treatment is properly staged and planned. Surgical steps (extractions, implants, grafting) can cause swelling and tenderness for a few days, while restorative steps are usually very comfortable.

❓ What affects the cost of full mouth reconstruction in Lima?
Cost depends on the number of implants, need for extractions, bone grafting, gum treatment, bite reconstruction complexity, materials (zirconia vs other options), and whether sedation or advanced surgical planning is required. That’s why an evaluation is essential before quoting.

❓ How long do full mouth reconstruction results last?
With good oral hygiene, professional maintenance, and protection from bruxism (night guard), results can last many years. Implant bridges and crowns may require periodic maintenance over time, similar to any high-end dental work. By all means, our approach is conservative dentistry for all our patients.

❓ Can you do full mouth reconstruction if I have gum disease or infections?
Yes, but gum disease and infections must be treated and stabilized first. A safe plan often includes periodontal therapy and infection control before final restorative work, especially if implants are part of the solution.

❓ What is the recovery like after All-on-4 or All-on-6?
Recovery usually includes a few days of swelling and a soft-food diet for a period recommended by the doctor. You’ll also have scheduled follow-ups to monitor healing and inflammation during the initial phase.

❓ How do I maintain a full arch implant bridge?
Maintenance typically includes daily cleaning with the right tools (water flosser, bridge floss, special brushes), routine professional cleanings, and periodic checkups to protect the implants and keep the bridge in excellent condition.
