In this video, Remi Berube, DD, explains how full-mouth reconstruction timelines can vary and what influences how quickly different treatment paths can move forward.
When you’re planning full-mouth reconstruction, the timeline depends on the type of treatment you choose and the condition of your bone and teeth.
The most streamlined approach is to remove your remaining natural teeth and place immediate dentures the same day. This lets you leave the office with teeth in place right after extractions.
If you later decide you want a fixed denture, we can move forward with implants and create dentures that snap on and off those implants. In certain cases, this can also be done the same day, but it depends on factors like your bone levels, how many teeth need to be removed, and the specifics of your case.
Your individual situation determines the exact timing, but we can review all of this with you during your consultation.

Atrophy refers to the gradual loss of bone over time. In the jaw, that change directly influences how we plan treatment, including when we recommend a dental bone graft. As the bone structure shifts, the level of support available to teeth or implants can change. You may start to notice these changes as they develop. Gums can recede, making [...]
At Big Sky Dentures & Implants, we pay close attention to what happens around your implant, not just the implant itself. Teeth grinding introduces a level of force that can work against the foundation we place. Natural teeth have a slight cushion from surrounding ligaments. A dental implant connects directly to the jawbone. Every clench or grind exerts pressure [...]
A roundhouse bridge falls within the implant denture category, yet it rarely resembles what most people expect a denture to look like. That contrast often creates confusion. If it replaces a full arch of teeth and relies on implants for support, why does it appear so different? The difference reflects a rethinking of what a denture should be. Full-arch [...]
Dental phobia is a strong and persistent fear of dental treatment, the dental office, or the thought of receiving care. For some people, that fear becomes so intense that they avoid appointments even when they know something is wrong. Pain, infection, difficulty eating, and embarrassment often follow because fear created distance from treatment for too long. At Big Sky [...]
