A complete smile makeover, also known as a full mouth reconstruction, is necessary when multiple restorations are necessary on the same patient. Full mouth treatment can replace missing teeth with implants, bridges, or partial dentures, and at the same time it can change the appearance of the teeth with composite fillings, porcelain crowns, composite veneers, or porcelain veneers.

In some cases these full mouth reconstructions can allow the jaw to be placed in a more stable and healthy position and allow the muscles of the face to relax thus relieving certain types of facial pain.
