Full Mouth Reconstruction in Chicago, IL
Restore Function, Health, and Confidence with a Custom Comprehensive Plan
Whether due to injury, advanced decay, multiple missing teeth, or years of wear, damage to your entire smile can affect your ability to eat, speak, and feel confident. At Ramy Bahu, DDS, we provide full mouth reconstruction in Chicago for patients who need comprehensive restorative care tailored to their unique oral health needs.
This service involves rebuilding or replacing most or all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws, combining the expertise of restorative, cosmetic, and general dentistry to deliver long-lasting, functional, and esthetic results.
What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is a personalized treatment plan that addresses multiple oral health concerns simultaneously. Unlike a smile makeover that is largely cosmetic, full mouth reconstruction focuses on restoring dental function, health, and comfort.
The process typically includes a combination of:
- Dental crowns
- Bridges
- Dental implants
- Root canal therapy
- Tooth extractions
- Dentures or implant-supported dentures
- Bone grafting or ridge augmentation if bone support is lacking
- TMJ therapy and bite realignment if jaw dysfunction is present
Each plan is unique and may also incorporate cosmetic treatments like veneers or teeth whitening to enhance the final esthetics.
Who Is a Candidate for Full Mouth Reconstruction?
You may benefit from a full mouth reconstruction if you experience:
- Multiple broken, worn, or missing teeth
- Advanced gum disease with tooth loss
- Difficulty chewing, speaking, or eating
- Chronic jaw or facial pain due to bite misalignment
- Dental trauma from an accident
- Failing restorations or outdated dental work
- Long-term neglect or fear of dentistry
If your mouth requires extensive repair, this approach can rebuild your smile step by step—with function, comfort, and beauty in mind.
What to Expect During the Reconstruction Process

We begin with a full-mouth evaluation, including digital X-rays, intraoral scans, and a bite assessment. We’ll discuss your goals, health history, and any symptoms you’ve been experiencing. - Treatment Planning
