Is full mouth reconstruction painful? What is recovery like?

Full mouth reconstruction is manageable with proper planning:

During treatment: - Sedation available for comfort - Local anesthesia for procedures - Breaks between procedures - Multiple appointments spread out - You control the pace

Recovery varies by treatment:

Minimal recovery (return to work same/next day): - Fillings - Crowns and veneers (prep visit) - Cleanings and exams

Moderate recovery (1-3 days): - Multiple extractions - Crown/veneer placement - Minor gum procedures

More significant recovery (3-7 days): - Implant surgery - Bone grafting - Sinus lifts - Multiple procedures same day

Pain management: - Prescription medication when needed - Over-the-counter for most recovery - Ice packs for swelling - Detailed aftercare instructions - We're available for questions

Planning for recovery: - Stage procedures strategically - Plan time off for surgical phases - Have soft foods ready - Arrange help if needed

Most patients are surprised that recovery is easier than expected. We prioritize your comfort throughout.
