Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedures
As an individualized treatment plan, your full mouth reconstruction could involve any of the following:

- Realistic, comfortable implant-supported dentures placed using the innovative Same Day Teeth® technique. These can be fixed or removable, depending on your preferences.
Dr. Brown or Dr. Baran can help design your individualized full mouth reconstruction according to your needs, preferences, and budget at your initial consultation.
