Full Mouth Reconstruction in Kamloops, BC
A Complete Solution, Built Around You
Full mouth reconstruction addresses function, health, and aesthetics together — in a single, carefully sequenced treatment plan. For patients who have been living with pain, compromised function, or a smile they feel self-conscious about, it is often the most meaningful dental decision they ever make.
Depending on your schedule and what works best for you, we can complete multiple procedures at one time or stage your reconstruction over a series of appointments. Your happiness and satisfaction are the most important goals throughout the process.
The Clinical Expertise You Need
Not every practice is equipped to manage a full mouth reconstruction from start to finish. Our doctors are KOIS trained, with advanced education in occlusion, restorative dentistry, and complex case planning. Dr. Hansford has been named a Distinguished Mentor by The Kois Centre — one of only twenty-two in Canada — and serves as a mentor to other dentists pursuing advanced restorative training.
No referrals, no hand-offs. Your reconstruction is planned and executed by the same team, start to finish.
One Appointment, Multiple Procedures
With all five doctors sedation certified and over 12,000 combined sedation cases, procedures that would typically require separate appointments can be completed in a single, deeply relaxed visit. Fewer appointments, faster results, and a significantly more comfortable experience from start to finish.
Your Plan in Writing, Before Anything Begins
Before any treatment begins, your doctor presents your complete treatment plan in writing — every procedure, the recommended sequence, and all associated costs. You will know exactly what is planned and why. There is no pressure and no rush. The decisions are always yours to make.
What Our Patients Are Saying
My early dental history was painful and unpleasant, and I lost my teeth at a very early age. I started thinking about implants long ago, but dismissed them as too disruptive, expensive, and far away. Dr. Hansford's team made the procedure possible, close to home, and in a timely fashion. Dr. Hansford's sedation took away all anxiety and fear. I felt very well informed and in good hands throughout. It was truly painless.
What Full Mouth Reconstruction Can Address
Every reconstruction is different. The following covers the most common concerns we treat — but if your situation is not listed here, let us know. We will address your unique needs.
Missing Teeth
Dental implants are the foundation of most full mouth reconstructions involving missing teeth. They are the only tooth replacement option shown to prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure over time.
- Implants replace the tooth root itself, anchoring crowns, bridges, and dentures directly into the jawbone
- Once integrated, restorations look, feel, and function like natural teeth
- They are brushed and flossed the same way as natural teeth and do not slip or shift
- With proper care, implants last a lifetime
Damaged, Decayed, or Discoloured Teeth
The right approach depends on the extent of the damage:
- Mild to moderate decay is restored with a composite filling
- An infected tooth may require root canal therapy to preserve it
- Significant damage or a failing restoration may warrant a crown or implant-supported replacement
- Where multiple teeth need attention, sedation allows all of this to be addressed in a single appointment
Joint Disorders
TMJ disorder is frequently undiagnosed — and frequently at the root of symptoms patients have been managing for years:
- Common signs include headaches, jaw and neck pain, difficulty chewing, and premature tooth wear
- A custom oral appliance can restore balance to your bite and protect your teeth from further damage
- In some cases, we coordinate care with a trusted chiropractor, massage therapist, or other health practitioner
- Addressing TMJ as part of your reconstruction prevents new restorations from being compromised by an unresolved bite issue
Complete and Partial Dentures
If you are missing multiple teeth and not yet ready for implants, we will create cosmetic dentures that give you the smile you want right now. When the time is right, those dentures can be converted into a fixed, implant-supported restoration. Whether dentures are a short-term solution or a long-term choice, your satisfaction is the goal.
Cosmetic Concerns
Function and aesthetics are planned together from the beginning — not treated as separate considerations. Every procedure we complete is approached as cosmetic dentistry. If you have specific cosmetic goals alongside restorative needs, those are built into your treatment plan from day one.

What to expect
Your Comprehensive Consultation
Your reconstruction begins with a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw. Photographs, digital X-rays, and 3D CBCT imaging give us a complete clinical picture. Your doctor takes the time to understand your symptoms, your history, and your goals before any planning begins.
Your Written Treatment Plan
Your doctor presents a detailed, sequenced plan in writing — covering every recommended procedure, the order of completion, and all associated costs. Options are discussed clearly. Nothing proceeds until you are ready.
Foundational Treatment
Health-based care comes first. Active infection, bone grafting, implant placement, extractions, and any periodontal treatment are completed before restorative or cosmetic work begins. This sequencing is essential to building a reconstruction that holds up over time.
Restorative Treatment
With a healthy foundation in place, restorative procedures are completed — crowns, bridges, root canals, inlays, onlays, and implant restorations. Sedation is available throughout, and where possible, multiple procedures are completed in the same appointment.
Cosmetic Refinement
Once function and health are restored, cosmetic refinements complete the picture. Final shading, veneers, whitening, and surface details are addressed at this stage — because the result should be something you are genuinely proud of.
Long-Term Care
Your doctor will provide specific guidance on caring for your new smile and schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your results and ensure everything continues to function exactly as it should.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started with full mouth reconstruction?
Book a consultation at either our Valleyview or Downtown location. We are currently welcoming new patients, same-day and same-week appointments are available, and there is no pressure — just an honest conversation about what is possible for your smile.
How do I know if I am a candidate for full mouth reconstruction?
If you have multiple dental concerns you have been putting off, chronic discomfort, significant tooth loss, or a smile you have long wanted to change, a consultation is the right place to start. Most patients are surprised by how achievable a complete transformation actually is.
Will I know the full cost before full mouth reconstruction treatment begins?
Yes. Your complete treatment plan and all associated costs are presented in writing before anything is scheduled. You will have a clear, detailed picture of the investment — with options — before any decisions are made.
Is sedation available throughout my reconstruction?
Yes. Sedation is available at every level for every procedure and every appointment. Many patients choose sedation specifically to complete multiple procedures in fewer visits.
Can TMJ symptoms be addressed as part of my reconstruction?
Yes. If a bite imbalance is contributing to your symptoms, addressing it is often a foundational part of your plan. Your doctor will evaluate your bite and jaw function at your initial consultation and discuss all available options.
What if I am not ready for implants yet?
That is completely fine. We will create cosmetic dentures that give you the smile you want right now. When you are ready, those dentures can be converted into a fixed, implant-supported restoration. Your plan evolves at your pace.
Do I need a referral for full mouth reconstruction?
No. Every aspect of your reconstruction — surgical, restorative, and cosmetic — is managed in-house at Smile Dentistry. You will not be referred to another provider or asked to coordinate between multiple offices.
How long does the full mouth reconstruction process take?
It depends on the complexity of your case and the pace you prefer. Patients who opt for sedation can often complete multiple procedures in a single extended appointment, significantly compressing the overall timeline. Your doctor will give you a realistic estimate during your consultation.
How is full mouth reconstruction different from a smile makeover?
A smile makeover focuses primarily on aesthetics. Full mouth reconstruction addresses underlying health and function first, then refines the aesthetic result. In practice, the two are planned together from the beginning, with your cosmetic goals informing every clinical decision.
What is full mouth reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary treatment plan that addresses function, health, and aesthetics across multiple teeth or your entire mouth — planned and sequenced by your doctor for the most effective outcome with the fewest appointments possible.
