Complex Surgical Solutions for Lasting Oral Health

For patients facing severe dental deterioration, trauma, or long-standing oral disease, full mouth reconstruction provides a path to restored health, function, and quality of life. At Clackamas Implant & Oral Surgery Center, Brett M. Sullivan, DMD, MD offers expert surgical care for complex cases requiring total rehabilitation of the teeth, jaw, and supporting structures.

With dual degrees in dentistry and medicine, Dr. Sullivan delivers advanced, multidisciplinary care for patients who may have exhausted other treatment options.

What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment plan that rebuilds and restores every compromised element in the mouth. This approach is ideal for patients experiencing:

  • Multiple missing or non-restorable teeth
  • Jawbone loss due to periodontal disease or prolonged tooth absence
  • Bite collapse or TMJ disorders
  • Chronic pain or reduced oral function
  • Failed dental work or complications from previous treatments
  • Trauma-related or congenital abnormalities

This form of care is highly technical and requires expertise in oral surgery, prosthetic planning, implant dentistry, and facial anatomy.

When Is Full Mouth Reconstruction Recommended?

Dr. Sullivan may recommend full mouth reconstruction for patients with:

  • Extensive tooth loss or damage that cannot be repaired conservatively
  • Advanced periodontal disease with bone or gum deterioration
  • Structural jaw problems, TMJ dysfunction, or bite misalignment
  • Facial or dental trauma resulting in functional or aesthetic challenges
  • Congenital deformities or complex medical histories impacting oral health
  • Failed implants or restorations that require correction

For many patients, this treatment offers the only viable path to comfort, function, and a restored quality of life.

What to Expect from the Reconstruction Process

Your journey begins with a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, including:

  • 3D CBCT imaging
  • Digital impressions and scans
  • Review of your dental and medical history
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration with your referring dentist, medical team, laboratory, or specialist

Based on these findings, Dr. Sullivan creates a customized surgical treatment plan, which may include:

  • Tooth extractions (when teeth are non-restorable)
  • Bone grafting or sinus lifts to rebuild lost jawbone
  • Dental implant placement for single or full-arch replacement
  • Soft tissue procedures to optimize gum health and esthetics

Depending on the complexity, full mouth reconstruction may occur in phases over several months. Throughout, our team ensures you remain comfortable, informed, and supported at every step.
