Five implants and sinus lifts
Great work performed on my cleanings, sinus lifts with bone grafting, bridges and even 5 implants. Would highly recommend Dr Manal Ismail and her staff.
Full Mouth Reconstruction in West Bloomfield, MI
A staged plan that combines implants, crowns, and restorative treatment to rebuild an entire bite that has been damaged, worn down, or lost over time.
Full Mouth Restoration, Planned as One Treatment
Full mouth reconstruction is not one procedure. It is a plan that sequences several treatments in the right order to rebuild function, comfort, and appearance across both arches, usually over several months.
It differs from full arch implants in scope. Reconstruction works with the teeth you still have as well as the ones you have lost, combining crowns, bridges, implants, and gum disease treatment. Your dentist plans the whole sequence up front so each stage supports the next, and unstable gums are treated before anything is built on them.

Who We Help
Is This Right for You?
Reconstruction is for mouths where several things need solving at once. If that is you, the first step is a full picture rather than a quick fix.
- Many teeth are missing, broken, or heavily worn
- Years of grinding have shortened your teeth and changed your bite
- You have ongoing jaw discomfort along with damaged teeth
- Previous dental work is failing and needs replacing together
- You have been told your case is too complex for a simple fix
Your Treatment
How a Reconstruction Is Planned
Full Records and Diagnosis
We assess every tooth, your gums, your bone, and how your jaw actually closes. Nothing is treated until the whole picture is understood.
The Sequenced Plan
Your dentist lays out each stage in order, with the timeline and cost of each, so you can approve the plan as a whole and pace it if you need to.
Building the Foundation
Infection, gum disease, and teeth that cannot be saved are addressed first, along with any implants and grafting the plan calls for.
Restoring the Bite
Crowns, bridges, and implant teeth are fitted and the bite is balanced across both arches, so pressure is shared evenly when you chew.
After Your Treatment
Full Mouth Reconstruction Aftercare and Recovery
Recovery varies from person to person. This is what most patients can expect, and your dentist goes through your own instructions with you before you leave.
- What the First Days Look Like
- Full mouth reconstruction is a sequence rather than one appointment, so recovery depends on which stage you have just had. After a surgical stage, expect the same first day pattern as any oral surgery: rest, head raised, gentle gauze pressure, and leaving the area alone. After a restorative stage, you are usually more tired than sore.
- Eating Through Treatment
- Expect stretches of soft eating rather than one short recovery, particularly around surgical and grafting stages. Temporary restorations are built to look right and function reasonably, not to handle everything a natural tooth can, so treat them gently. Your dentist will tell you at each stage what your teeth can take.
- Managing Discomfort Between Stages
- Discomfort tends to be highest in the first two to three days after a surgical stage and settles from there, while restorative stages are usually mild. Bite soreness and adjustment as your teeth are rebuilt to a new position is expected and is worth telling us about, since small adjustments make a large difference. Your dentist will go over what to take at each stage.
- How Long the Whole Process Takes
- A full reconstruction generally unfolds over many months, and cases involving bone grafting or full arch implants can run beyond a year from start to finish. The timeline depends on how much healing has to happen between stages, which is biology rather than scheduling. We map the sequence with you at the start and update it as healing dictates.
- When to Call the Office
- Call our office if a temporary restoration comes loose or breaks, if your bite suddenly feels wrong, or if discomfort is increasing rather than easing after a stage. Call if swelling grows after about the third day following surgery, or if bleeding restarts and does not settle. A fever at any point in the sequence is a reason to call rather than wait for the next scheduled visit.
Your Dentists
Placed and Restored in One Office
We place and restore implants in our own office, including bone grafting and sinus lift procedures when the jaw needs preparing first. It is common for a practice to send the surgical half elsewhere and handle only the final crown. Here every stage happens in one place, with one set of records and one team who already know your case.
New patients are usually seen within the same week.

Common Questions
Full Mouth Reconstruction Questions
How long does full mouth reconstruction take?
Most cases run several months because healing time is built into the sequence. Your dentist gives you a stage by stage timeline before treatment starts.
Can I split the treatment into phases?
Yes. Many patients pace reconstruction over time. We plan the order so the most urgent work happens first and each stage stands on its own.
How is this different from full arch implants?
Full arch treatment replaces every tooth in an arch. Reconstruction rebuilds around the healthy teeth you still have, combining implants with crowns, bridges, and gum treatment.
How do I know if I need a reconstruction rather than a few crowns?
The dividing line is whether the problems are independent of each other. Two worn teeth on the same side are two repairs. Teeth that have shortened across the whole arch, old work failing at several points at once, and a bite that has closed down over the years are one problem showing up in several places, and fixing them one at a time means each repair is built onto a bite that is still wrong. A full set of records answers this properly, which is why nothing is treated until they have been taken.
Will I be without teeth at any point?
No. Temporaries are part of the plan rather than an afterthought, and they do real work: they protect prepared teeth, hold the new bite position while you get used to it, and let you and your dentist see how the finished result will look and feel before it is made permanent. If something about the shape or the bite is not right, the temporary stage is where that gets found and changed. You eat, speak, and go to work throughout.
Will my insurance cover any of it?
Many individual procedures within a reconstruction are covered in part, and because treatment is sequenced over months it can often be paced across more than one benefit year. Our team reviews your plan, tells you which stages it contributes to and which it does not, and goes through CareCredit and Cherry for the balance. You get the whole picture before you commit rather than a stage at a time. The quickest way to get a real answer for your own case is a short conversation. Call us at (248) 863-9109 or book online.
