A full mouth reconstruction combines multiple dental treatments — delivered in a carefully sequenced plan — to restore the health, function, and appearance of your entire mouth. At Macleod Dental, we create a personalised roadmap that addresses every issue, from missing teeth and worn enamel to gum disease and bite problems.
Unlike a cosmetic smile makeover which focuses on appearance, a full mouth reconstruction addresses both function and aesthetics. It begins with a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw, then sequences the required treatments in the most effective order to deliver lasting results.
We treat gum disease, decay, and infections first — creating a healthy foundation before any restorative or cosmetic work begins.
Missing teeth are replaced, bite alignment corrected, and chewing function fully restored so you can eat without pain or difficulty.
Cosmetic treatments such as veneers, crowns, and whitening complete the transformation — delivering a smile you are proud of.
Is This Right for You?
Have multiple missing or failing teeth
Multiple gaps, failing restorations, or teeth requiring extraction across both arches.
Have significant wear from grinding or acid erosion
Severely worn teeth that have lost significant vertical height and need rebuilding.
Experience jaw pain, bite problems, or TMJ issues
Bite imbalances that cause pain, headaches, or uneven tooth wear can be corrected as part of reconstruction.
Want a complete smile and functional transformation
A single coordinated plan is often more efficient and cost-effective than treating each issue separately over time.
Every reconstruction plan is unique. We start with a thorough assessment and build a roadmap tailored specifically to you.
Treatments that may be included
Dental implants, bridges, or dentures for missing teeth
Crowns and veneers to restore damaged or worn teeth
Root canal treatment to save infected teeth
Gum disease treatment to create a healthy foundation
Occlusal splints and bite correction for TMJ and grinding
Teeth whitening to complete the aesthetic result
Not every patient needs all of these — your plan will only include what is clinically appropriate for you.
Reconstruction is a staged process. The phases below show how we sequence treatment for the best possible outcome.
Phase 01
Comprehensive examination, X-rays, and records to build your personalised treatment plan with clear sequencing and costs.
Phase 02
Extractions, gum treatment, and root canals are completed first to stabilise oral health before any restorative work.
Phase 03
Implants, crowns, bridges, or dentures replace and rebuild teeth — restoring full function and bite alignment.
Phase 04
Veneers, whitening, or other aesthetic treatments complete the smile — done last to ensure final results are optimal.
Phase 05
A comprehensive review ensures all outcomes are as planned. An ongoing maintenance schedule protects your investment long-term.
A coordinated reconstruction plan often delivers better outcomes and more efficient treatment than addressing each problem in isolation over many years.
We will be completely transparent about what is needed, why, and in what order — before any treatment begins.
Every reconstruction is different. Simpler cases may be completed in a few months; complex cases involving implants and multiple stages can take 12–18 months or longer. We will give you a realistic timeline at your planning consultation before any treatment begins.
The cost varies significantly depending on the treatments required. We provide a fully itemised treatment plan before you commit to anything, so you know exactly what is involved and what it will cost. Many health funds provide benefits across multiple treatment types included in a reconstruction plan.
Each component of reconstruction is planned to minimise discomfort. Individual procedures are performed under local anaesthetic. We will discuss pain management clearly for each stage, and ensure you are completely comfortable before and during every appointment.
Many private health fund extras policies provide benefits for major dental, root canals, and other treatments that may form part of your plan. The total rebate will depend on your fund, level of cover, and annual limits. We can provide a full treatment plan in advance so you can check your entitlements with your insurer.
There is no fixed age limit. Suitability is assessed on oral health, medical history, and the specific treatments involved. We have helped patients of all ages — including those in their 70s and 80s — complete successful reconstructions that significantly improved their quality of life.
Yes. One of the key advantages of a planned reconstruction is that we establish a clear phasing and payment schedule upfront. This allows you to budget and, if needed, prioritise the most urgent treatments first while working towards the complete result over time.
