Full Mouth Reconstruction in Rego Park, NY
Full mouth reconstruction in Rego Park is available at Affordable Dental Care PC, where Dr. Marina Pinkhasova and periodontist Dr. David Malakov rebuild badly damaged or missing teeth for patients across Queens. When years of decay, gum disease, grinding, or an accident have affected most of the teeth, piecemeal fixes stop working. A full mouth reconstruction replaces them with one coordinated plan that restores your ability to chew, speak, and smile, carried out in phases in a single office.
Depending on your needs, the plan may combine dental implants, All-on-4 full-arch implants, crowns and bridges, dentures, gum treatment, and cosmetic work. Because both the surgical and the restorative dentist are here, you are never sent across town between steps, and you receive one written estimate for the whole plan. Contact us today at (718) 897-3434 to schedule an appointment or learn more about our services.
Candidates for Full Mouth Reconstruction
Patients who have dental problems throughout their entire mouths and require extensive restoration are good candidates for full mouth reconstruction. These problems may result from significant trauma during an accident, decay, wear from grinding, or habit-based damage. Other treatment candidates include people with severe dental conditions from birth, such as amelogenesis, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and ectodermal dysplasia.
Some reconstruction treatments involve surgery, particularly implants or procedures that necessitate bone grafting. This typically requires that the patient is in good overall health. Therefore, a full mouth reconstruction may not be an immediate option for patients with other health issues.

Reasons for Exploring Full Mouth Reconstruction
A complete mouth reconstruction drastically changes the look and function of the mouth and teeth. Patients may seek out a full mouth reconstruction for several reasons, including:
- Accidents: Facial trauma from an accident, such as a car accident, often includes broken bones to the face and jaw as well as tooth damage. Extensive work may be necessary to restore function and appearance. Patients injured in a car accident may be covered under No-Fault insurance, and on-the-job injuries under Workers Compensation.
- Broken jaw: Broken jaws typically include damaged teeth. A full mouth reconstruction can fix the jaw and any displaced teeth.
- Missing teeth: Patients with missing teeth often require immediate replacement. Full mouth reconstruction can provide dental implants, preserving jawbone strength, and restoring the smile.
- Extensive decay and gum disease: If gum disease and tooth decay have reached a dangerous point, then you may need several procedures to restore function. That can include a gum graft or dental implants.
- Esthetics: Patients who are concerned with the color, shape, size, and proportion of their teeth may seek out a complete mouth reconstruction.
No matter the reason for seeking a full mouth reconstruction, it is important to consult a dentist before moving forward. Our staff will examine a patient's mouth to determine the extent of the problem. That will likely include X-rays and impressions of the upper and lower teeth. Once we have all the necessary information, we will develop a customized treatment plan to address their unique needs.

Full Mouth Reconstruction Treatment Options
No two reconstructions are alike. After a full exam, X-rays, and a 3D cone beam scan when implants are planned, we build a sequence from the procedures below, treating the most urgent problems first and finishing with the cosmetic work:
- Periodontal treatment: deep cleaning, laser therapy, or gum surgery to bring gum disease under control before any restoration is placed, performed by Dr. Malakov.
- Root canals and extractions: saving teeth that can be saved and removing those that cannot.
- Bone grafting: rebuilding jawbone lost to gum disease or missing teeth so implants have a solid foundation.
- Dental implants: single implants for individual teeth, or implant-supported dentures and All-on-4 to replace a full arch on as few as four implants.
- Crowns and bridges: restoring cracked, worn, or heavily filled teeth and closing gaps where implants are not chosen.
- Full or partial dentures: the most affordable full-arch option, with implant-retained versions available for stability.
- Veneers, whitening, and gum contouring: the finishing cosmetic steps that shape the final smile.
Bite correction is also part of many plans. Worn or missing teeth change how the jaws meet, and rebuilding the bite at the correct height protects the new restorations and relieves jaw and headache pain.

How Full Mouth Reconstruction Works: Phases and Timeline
- Consultation and records. Exam, photos, X-rays, and a 3D scan if implants are likely. We discuss what bothers you most, your budget, and how you want the final result to look.
- Treatment plan and estimate. You receive a phased plan with a written, itemized cost for each phase, so you can approve the whole plan or start with the most urgent phase and continue as you are ready.
- Phase 1, disease control. Gum treatment, extractions, and root canals. Temporary teeth are provided so you are never without a smile.
- Phase 2, surgery and healing. Bone grafting and implant placement by Dr. Malakov, followed by three to six months of healing while the implants bond to the bone.
- Phase 3, restoration. Final crowns, bridges, implant teeth, or dentures are fitted and the bite is balanced.
- Phase 4, finishing and maintenance. Veneers or whitening if planned, a night guard if you grind, and a maintenance schedule to protect the investment.
A reconstruction with implants typically takes six to twelve months from start to finish because of the healing time; plans built around crowns and dentures can be completed in a few months. Some patients need only the upper or lower arch rebuilt, and the same phased approach applies. Our page on options for replacing all of your teeth compares the full-arch choices side by side.

Full Mouth Reconstruction Cost in Rego Park
Because a reconstruction is a package of individual procedures, its cost is the sum of those procedures, and the range is wide. A plan built around dentures and a few crowns costs a fraction of one built around full-arch implants. The biggest cost drivers are how many teeth need replacing, whether implants are used and how many, whether bone grafting is required, and the materials chosen for the final restorations.
Dental insurance usually covers parts of a reconstruction, such as extractions, root canals, crowns, and periodontal treatment, up to the plan's annual maximum, which is why spreading the phases across two plan years often reduces your out-of-pocket cost. Implants and cosmetic steps are covered less often. We verify your benefits, show you exactly what insurance is expected to pay for each phase, and offer financing for the balance. Patients injured in a car accident or at work may have the restorative portion covered through No-Fault or Workers Compensation.
For typical implant costs in our area, see our guides on how much dental implants cost in NYC and whether implants or dentures are cheaper in the long run. A consultation at our Rego Park office gives you real numbers for your mouth rather than a range.

Is Full Mouth Reconstruction Worth It? Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages. You get one coordinated result instead of years of patching individual teeth. Chewing and speech return to normal, the bite is rebuilt at the right height so new restorations last, jawbone is preserved when implants are used, and the appearance of the whole smile is designed at once rather than tooth by tooth. For many patients it also ends chronic infection and pain that were affecting their general health.
Disadvantages. It is a significant investment of money and time. Implant-based plans take months of healing, involve surgery, and require good overall health. There are several appointments, some discomfort after surgical phases, and a lifelong commitment to home care and maintenance visits. Not every tooth that could be saved should be, and not every patient needs the full plan; sometimes a smaller set of treatments gets most of the benefit.
An honest consultation sorts this out. We will tell you which problems need treatment now, which can wait, and where a less extensive plan would serve you just as well.

Amazing experience! After big trauma with broken teeth this entire dental office team was so friendly, attentive, and professional, that made my struggle fade away. From very start to the finish of my long journey to heal and rebuild my bone and teeth I was surrounded by friendly and very professional staff, who made me feel comfortable, and lead to success. Thank you all so much! Highly recommend

Cosmetic Complete Mouth Reconstructions
While some patients require a full mouth reconstruction to restore function, many patients with misaligned or gapped teeth elect to have it done to improve the look of their smile. Both procedures utilize many of the same techniques and equipment. In both cases, the result is a more appealing smile.
Veneers can help improve the look of teeth by closing gaps and changing their size, shape, and even color. Gum contouring is also a technique used to improve the overall appearance of a smile. Dental crowns not only strengthen teeth but can also cover a discolored tooth or one that needs reshaping. If a patient's teeth are not to their liking but are otherwise healthy, a smile makeover could be right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How much does a full mouth reconstruction cost?
A. The cost is the sum of the procedures in your plan, so it ranges widely: a plan built on dentures and crowns costs far less than one built on full-arch implants. Insurance typically covers portions such as extractions, root canals, crowns, and gum treatment up to the annual maximum. We provide a written, phase-by-phase estimate showing what insurance is expected to pay and offer financing for the balance.
Q. What are the benefits of a complete mouth reconstruction?
A. Patients with significant tooth damage or missing teeth are at higher risk for oral health and overall health problems. By restoring every tooth in that person's mouth, they may get a better-looking, healthier smile. That can help with problems, ranging from headaches to the inability to chew properly.
Q. How long does full mouth reconstruction take?
A. It depends on the plan. Reconstructions built around crowns, bridges, and dentures can be finished in a few months. Plans that include implants usually take six to twelve months because the implants need three to six months to bond with the bone before the final teeth are attached. Temporary teeth are provided throughout.
Q. Who is a good candidate for full mouth reconstruction?
A. Full mouth reconstruction offers hope for patients with several dental problems involving function and aesthetics. That can include broken, missing, and worn-out teeth. Certain medical conditions may also require a patient to undergo a complete mouth reconstruction.
Q. What treatments are involved in a full mouth reconstruction?
A. A full mouth reconstruction differs for each patient depending on their current oral health status and required treatments. Treatments can include any or all of the following: Dental crowns, fixed bridges, partial and full dentures, root canal therapy, dental implant supported tooth replacement, tooth extractions, and soft tissue or bone grafting. We will start with the most essential treatments first and work our way to the cosmetic treatments. All treatments will be discussed during the patient's consultation appointment.
Q. What are the disadvantages of full mouth reconstruction?
A. The main drawbacks are cost, the length of treatment when implants and healing are involved, the number of appointments, and the need for good general health if surgery is part of the plan. It also requires a lifelong commitment to home care and maintenance visits. For patients with widespread damage, these trade-offs are usually outweighed by restored function and the end of ongoing pain and infection, but a smaller plan is sometimes the better choice.
Q. Who performs full mouth reconstruction at Affordable Dental Care PC?
A. Two doctors in one office. Dr. David Malakov, a periodontist with advanced training in periodontics and implant dentistry, handles gum treatment, bone grafting, and implant placement. Dr. Marina Pinkhasova, an NYU-trained general and cosmetic dentist practicing in Rego Park since 1994, designs and places the crowns, bridges, veneers, and dentures. You do not need a referral to start.
Q. Do you offer full mouth dental implants in Queens?
A. Yes. Our Rego Park office provides full-arch implant solutions including All-on-4 and implant-supported dentures for patients from Forest Hills, Astoria, Elmhurst, and throughout Queens. Implants are placed by our in-house periodontist and restored in the same office.
