Full Mouth Reconstruction

Start over, with a smile built to last.

When years of wear, grinding, decay or old dental work have caught up with you, we rebuild every tooth as one carefully sequenced plan: restorative, implant and cosmetic care, designed together by a prosthodontist.

Sound familiar?

It didn't happen overnight. It doesn't have to be fixed one tooth at a time.

“My teeth are short, flat and worn down.”

Years of grinding or acid erosion have taken the edges off, and your face looks older than it should.

“Something breaks every few months.”

Old crowns, fillings and root canals are failing one after another. The patchwork isn't holding.

“My bite doesn't feel right.”

Jaw pain, headaches, clicking, or teeth that don't meet the way they used to.

“I'm missing teeth and the rest are shifting.”

Gaps change how the remaining teeth meet, and the problem keeps spreading.

“I've had a lot of work done. It never looked right.”

Mismatched crowns, dark lines, veneers that don't fit your face. It can be renewed to look like you.

“I just want it done once.”

You're ready for a healthy, comfortable, lasting result instead of another repair.

Full mouth reconstruction is exactly what prosthodontists are trained for. If two or more of these are true for you, a consultation is the right next step.

What it is

Every tooth, one plan.

Full mouth reconstruction rebuilds and restores all of the teeth in your mouth, combining restorative, implant and cosmetic treatments into one carefully sequenced plan. Instead of reacting to whatever breaks next, we design the finished result first, then work toward it in the right order.

It's often the right path when years of wear, decay, trauma, grinding or missing teeth have affected your ability to chew, speak or smile with confidence.

Rebuild

Crowns & onlays

Worn, cracked or heavily filled teeth are rebuilt to full height and strength, in porcelain that looks like enamel.

Replace

Implants & bridges

Missing teeth are replaced so the bite is complete and the remaining teeth stop drifting.

Refine

Veneers & whitening

The teeth that show get the cosmetic finish: shape, shade and proportion matched to your face.

Realign

Bite & joint therapy

The bite is re-established at the right height so muscles and jaw joints can finally relax.

Foundation

Gum & bone health

Periodontal care and grafting where needed, coordinated with specialists, so the rebuild lasts.

Protect

Night guard & maintenance

A custom appliance if you grind, and annual evaluations to keep everything healthy.

Not every case needs every piece. Your plan uses only what your mouth actually needs.

Why it works

Your mouth is one system. We treat it like one.

Dr. Schlam evaluates your teeth, gums, bone, jaw joints, muscles and bite as one connected system, then designs a result that's healthy and predictable, not just attractive. When other specialists are needed, she acts as your quarterback, coordinating the whole team.

The process

Designed first. Previewed in your mouth. Built in the right order.

A full rebuild typically takes 4–9 months depending on whether implants or gum treatment are involved. It can be phased over a longer period to fit your life and budget.

The step that makes it safe

You'll live in the design before we build it.

Many cases use a preview or temporary phase so you can experience your new bite and smile before the final restorations are made. Chew in it, talk in it, look at it in photos. If something needs to change, we change the prototype, not the porcelain.

Why a prosthodontist leads it

“I’m a prosthodontist, and I get sent the most challenging patients. My whole goal is to give them predictability and success.”

Full mouth reconstruction is the most comprehensive work in dentistry, and it is what a prosthodontist's three years of specialty residency are built around. Dr. Schlam has rebuilt mouths for soldiers in the U.S. Army, patients across the Pacific Northwest, and people who travel to Bend for it.

The investment

Options at every scale, sequenced to fit your life.

Because not everyone prefers the same solution, we present several options that range in treatment time, extent of rehabilitation and cost, with an itemized fee for each. Many patients phase their reconstruction over time, doing the foundation work first and the cosmetic finish when they're ready.

We are a private, fee-for-service practice, which lets us prioritize your individual needs without the limitations of insurance-driven fees or treatment decisions. Although we do not bill dental insurance companies directly, we'll help you submit documents for any reimbursement you're entitled to.
