Full Mouth Reconstruction
Aging, trauma, and gum disease can all cause drastic changes in your teeth — but you don’t have to struggle with them much longer.
Dr. Shaun Bivens, our Mt. Juliet, TN, dentist, can rejuvenate your smile and improve your oral heath with full mouth reconstruction.
At Bivens Dentistry, he combines advanced technology with comfortable care, giving patients a second chance at a stunning smile.
Understanding FULL MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION
Full mouth reconstruction is a custom and comprehensive dental treatment plan designed to restore your smile — and your oral health. From dental implants to dentures, our dentist will work with you to create a personalized path to healthy, beautiful teeth.
What Dental Conditions
Can Full Mouth Reconstruction Address?
There’s no shame in needing help finding a beautiful, healthy smile. Dr. Bivens offers full mouth reconstruction for patients who have experienced:
TMJ Disorders
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders cause patients to clench and grind their jaw, leading to worn or broken teeth. We offer TMJ treatment at our Mount Juliet, TN, office to address the cause of your tooth damage and full mouth reconstruction to restore your smile.
Extensive Decay
Over time, decay can worsen, leading to staining, breakage, or even tooth loss. However, you don’t have to live with a smile you don’t love. We can treat the causes of your tooth decay, like root canal infections, and refine your appearance with crowns, dentures, and bridges.
Dental Trauma
After an accident, like a fall or a sports injury, you may experience widespread tooth damage. There’s a way that you can get a healthy smile back, though: full mouth reconstruction. Each case is different, and we proudly treat patients as the unique individuals that they are.
Gum Disease
It’s common for patients to have at least a mild form of gum disease: gingivitis. If it worsens into periodontal disease, it can cause loose gums, gum recession, or even tooth loss. We offer periodontal care, like scaling and root planing, to address the source of your smile troubles and improve your overall oral health.
Enjoy a Beautiful and Healthy Smile
Our Mt. Juliet, TN, dentist can create a custom full mouth restoration plan, just for you. Some of the possibilities include:
Dental Crowns
If you have any broken or severely decayed teeth, they can be fortified by us with a natural-looking dental crown. Crowns, when paired with a dental implant, they can even replace a missing tooth.
Dentures
Dentures have changed in the past few decades. In addition to traditional dentures, you can also find ultra-stable dentures supported by implants. Both options are discreet and effective.
Root Planing
Scaling and root planing clean the gums and smooth the root surface to fight periodontal disease. If your gum line hides your teeth or appears uneven, cosmetic laser gum contouring can refine your smile.
Teeth Whitening
Once your teeth and gums are healthy again, your remaining teeth can also be whitened for a cleaner, brighter smile. The process is simple, and usually requires only an hour of your time.
Veneers
Veneers are shells that cover misshapen, discolored, or small front teeth. We use high-quality porcelain to mimic your enamel. If you don’t have the needed healthy enamel, we have other treatment options available.
We also offer dental bridges, inlays and onlays, orthodontics, and so much more. If you’re ready to explore your restorative options, contact our helpful Mt. Juliet, TN, office or call:

How We Help Wilson County, TN, Patients
Feel At-Ease in the Dental Chair
“I went from having anxiety just thinking of going to the dentist to being comfortable and confident thanks to the Bivens team! I have a brand new smile (literally) and I couldn’t recommend Dr. Bivens more. He meticulously ensured my smile was perfect. I would go as far as saying the experience was life changing!”
“I’ve been a patient of Bivens Dentistry for years and have received exceptional care. Recently when I chipped my front tooth, they went above and beyond to get me in quickly to fix it. They were able to see me the very next morning. Also, my tooth looks even better than before I chipped it! Dr. Bivens and his staff are kind, thoughtful people that provide the absolute best care!”
Implants Add a Lifetime of Support
For Your Smile
At our Mt. Juliet, TN, office, you can create a lifelong foundation for your restoration with dental implants. An implant is a titanium post placed in your gum and jaw, replacing your tooth roots. Implants can stay in place in your jaw for decades, offering support for crowns and more.
What Dental Restorations Can My Implants Support?
If you want to add implants to your treatment plan, our dentist can discuss options during your consultation. Some of the different dental restorations that can be supported by implants include:
Crowns
Bridges
Dentures
Keeping Patients Comfortable
With Sedation Dentistry
Many of our Mt. Juliet, TN, patients come to us worried about anxiety, repetitive movements, or discomfort. We’ll always take the time to listen your concerns. When you’re ready, we can explore two sedation options:
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide has been a trusted dental sedation method for decades.
Also referred to as “laughing gas,” it’s effective, but also easily leaves your system, so that you can get back to the rest of your day once your treatment is complete.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is as simple as taking a pill.
Not only will it help you stay calm and comfortable, but it also can let you experience pain-free treatment without much memory of the visit. Just remember to ask a trusted friend or family member to drive you.
Using State-of-the-Art Restorative Technology
To Conduct Your Treatment Plan
Our Wilson County, TN, dentist, Dr. Bivens, improves patient care and results with:
e.MAX Milling
Your natural-looing bridges and crowns can be made from our e.MAX milling machine.
It’s a dependable way to create custom results designed for your unique needs.
Picasso Laser
Laser dentistry means little discomfort and an easy healing process. We use it during gum contouring, which can address uneven gums caused by recession. Our dentist can also treat your gum disease using this safe tool to create a healthier smile.
Cone Beam Scanner
Our 3D cone beam scanners allow us to take images of your teeth and surrounding structures, like your jawbown and gums. They can be especially useful in planning treatment involving dental implants.
