Patients across Kansas City who have multiple damaged, worn, or failing teeth often need more than a single treatment. Full mouth reconstruction in Kansas City at Gordon Dental Implants & Cosmetics is a personalized, multi-treatment plan that addresses the structure, function, and appearance of your entire smile. Dr. Philip Gordon coordinates every step at our Leawood, Kansas office.
A multi-treatment restorative plan is typically recommended for patients dealing with several concerns at once. Common situations include:
Full mouth rehabilitation starts with a complete evaluation. Dr. Gordon identifies the problems, the order they need to be addressed, and how each phase supports the next.
| Reconstruction Plan | Full Mouth Implants | Smile Makeover | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary goal | Restore health, function, and structure | Replace all teeth with a fixed implant arch | Improve the appearance of an otherwise healthy smile |
| Driven by | Multiple damaged, missing, or failing teeth | Full-arch tooth loss requiring extraction | Cosmetic concerns on structurally sound teeth |
| Implants included | Sometimes | Always | Rarely |
| Crowns included | Often | As the final restoration | Sometimes |
| Veneers included | Sometimes | Rarely | Often |
| Gum treatment | Often required as first phase | Sometimes as preparation | Rarely |
| Insurance contribution | Possible for restorative components | Typically not covered | Typically not covered |
Patients missing most or all of their teeth and needing a fixed arch are better matched to full mouth dental implants. Patients with structurally sound teeth who want to change their smile’s appearance are better matched to cosmetic dentistry at Gordon Dental.
Full mouth restoration sits between the two, addressing structural damage while also improving the result.
Teeth that are too damaged for a filling but still have a viable root are restored with crowns. Full mouth crowns may be recommended when most or all teeth in an arch need restoration, creating a consistent, protective result across the whole bite.
When teeth cannot be saved, implants replace both the root and the visible crown. A single tooth dental implant is used for individual missing teeth. For patients who need a full arch replaced, full mouth dental implants may be incorporated into the broader plan.
Active gum disease must be treated before most restorative work can begin. Gum disease treatment is often the first phase of a plan, stabilizing the bone and tissue that will support later restorations.
After major restorative work, protecting results from grinding and clenching is essential. A custom night guard is recommended for many reconstruction patients as part of long-term care, preventing wear on crowns, veneers, and implants over time.
Dr. Gordon approaches every plan as a coordinated sequence, not a series of isolated appointments. Here is what the planning process looks like:
Dr. Gordon examines your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw to understand the full scope of damage and what needs addressing.
Detailed three-dimensional imaging provides precise information about bone levels, root positions, and anatomy that standard X-rays cannot show. This is essential for implant planning and for understanding how much bone is available to support restorations
Each phase is mapped in priority order. Gum treatment comes first if needed, followed by extractions and bone grafting where required, then implant placement, and finally crowns and veneers.
Where significant structure is removed or missing, temporary restorations protect the teeth and maintain function while the plan progresses
The cost of a personalized restorative plan depends on which procedures are needed, how many teeth are involved, whether implants or bone grafting are required, and the materials used for final restorations.
Because no two plans are the same, the investment varies significantly from patient to patient. Dr. Gordon provides a detailed treatment plan and cost estimate at your consultation so you have a clear picture of each phase before committing to anything.
Factors that affect the overall investment include:
A plan involving implants, bone grafting, gum treatment, and crowns costs more than one involving crowns alone.
Spreading treatment over months or years allows patients to manage the financial commitment incrementally rather than all at once.
Gordon Dental offers flexible financing options to help patients begin treatment without paying the full cost upfront.
Dr. Gordon has placed and restored more than 10,000 implants and designed more than 1,000 custom veneers, including complex multi-treatment cases for patients across the Kansas City metro.

Timeline depends on the number and complexity of procedures involved. A plan that includes gum treatment, implants with healing time, and final crowns or veneers may take 12 to 24 months from start to finish. Simpler plans involving crowns and veneers without implants may take six to twelve months. Dr. Gordon outlines an estimated timeline at your consultation based on your specific plan.
No. Full mouth implants are a specific treatment that replaces all the teeth in one or both arches with a fixed implant-supported bridge. A reconstruction plan is broader and may or may not include implants depending on how many natural teeth can be preserved. Some reconstruction plans involve no implants. At your consultation, Dr. Gordon determines which approach fits your clinical situation.
Yes. Severely worn teeth can often be restored with crowns, veneers, or a combination of both, depending on how much tooth structure remains. For patients whose grinding has affected most or all of their teeth, a plan that addresses the bite as a whole produces better long-term results than treating individual teeth in isolation. A custom night guard is typically part of the plan to protect the restorations going forward.
Yes. Most reconstruction plans are completed in phases over several months to a year or more. Phasing allows the biological process, healing after extractions, and osseointegration of implants to proceed correctly, and it also makes the financial commitment more manageable. Dr. Gordon maps out the phases at your consultation so you understand the sequence and timing before treatment begins.
Insurance coverage for a multi-treatment plan depends on your specific plan and which procedures are included. Restorative components like crowns, extractions, and gum treatment often have partial coverage under dental insurance. Implant placement and cosmetic elements are typically not covered. Gordon Dental’s team reviews your benefits before treatment begins and helps you understand what may be covered.
