Full-mouth reconstruction in Rockland, Maine
Rebuilding a whole mouth — worn, broken or missing teeth restored to a bite that works and a smile you are not hiding. Planned as one project, delivered in stages.
Signs you may be a candidate
Teeth worn flat or chipping at the edges. Crowns and fillings that keep failing one after another. Missing teeth and a bite that has slowly collapsed around the gaps. Jaw pain or morning headaches from years of grinding. A mouth that has been patched a piece at a time for a decade and never treated as a whole.
Full-mouth reconstruction is not one procedure. It is a coordinated plan that might include crowns, bridges, implants, veneers and a night guard, sequenced so that each step supports the next instead of fighting it.

How Dr. Basi plans it
Exam, photographs, x-rays, a 3D scan and bite records. Nothing is proposed until there is a complete picture of what is happening and why.
Sequence, materials, timeline and cost, laid out before anything begins. You take it home. Nothing is decided in the chair.
Work is grouped so each phase is manageable, both for your schedule and your budget. You leave every appointment with teeth you can use.
Most reconstructions finish with a night guard and a maintenance schedule. The work is an investment, and it is looked after like one.
Why it is planned as one project
Treating a worn mouth tooth by tooth is how people end up back at the start in five years. The bite is a system: change the height of one tooth and everything else adjusts around it.
Planning the whole thing first means the finished bite is deliberate rather than accidental, and the work lasts.
What it costs
Reconstruction is quoted in full and in writing before it begins, broken into stages so you can see exactly what falls where and when.

Common questions about full-mouth reconstruction
Does insurance help?
It usually contributes toward the individual procedures rather than the plan as a whole. Send us your plan and we will tell you what it covers here.
How long does it take?
Anywhere from a few months to a year or more, depending on what is involved and whether implants need time to heal. You will have a timeline before you start.
Do I have to do it all at once?
No. The plan is built in stages on purpose. Some patients complete it over a year, others spread it further. What matters is that the sequence is right.
Is it painful?
Individual appointments feel like ordinary dentistry — local anesthetic, and nitrous oxide if you want it. Most patients report far less discomfort than they had expected.
Will I have teeth the whole time?
Yes. You will never be sent home without functional teeth. Temporaries carry you between stages and also let you test the new bite before it is made permanent.
How long will the work last?
Well-planned reconstruction, with good home care, regular cleanings and a night guard, should serve you for many years. Grinding is the main thing that shortens it, which is why the guard matters.
