Predictable solutions for Full Mouth Rehabilitation in Quincy
Do you feel like your mouth is an embarrassing disaster, with teeth that are worn down, badly decayed, loose, falling out, broken, or missing? I can help! Since I graduated from Tufts Dental School in 1978, I have focused on solving these problems with predictable results. I have never met a patient with significant dental problems that I can’t resolve through full mouth rehabilitation at my Quincy office.
Causes of discouraging dental experiences
Have you spent a great deal of money on dentistry that failed, leaving you feeling upset and defeated? I believe that most dentists want to do a good job, but many things get in the way of successful results:
- Poor planning.
- Poor delivery of services.
- Lack of experience.
- Poor attitude of the dentist.
- Partnering with a cheaper, off-shore lab with hundreds of unsupervised techs.
- A high volume business model to bring in more patients and more insurance, with less time in the chair.
- Limitations of insurance plans, PPOs, and HMOs.

Hi this is Dr. Steve and this is one of our nice patients Kirk, and he was nice enough to share his little story with us about this experience here – so kirk take it away. Well my teeth used to be in very rough shape and it was kind of a lost cause and I started needing some dentists that were amazing and they got the word out that I needed some help, and Dr. Stephen Matarazzo was kind enough to give me a call and we got together to get things fixed up and I could not be happier about it – le the pictures speak for themselves! And now when you seem you may notice my smile first but in a way that is an exact opposite that has been noticed previously – when people see me with my old smile they say oh that is a very intense face there and now when they see me – they see my personality a little bit at first and a very nice smile – Dr. Stephen Matarazzo corrected it for me. Yeah they got past – someone doesn’t like the way you smile it kind of blocks them from seeing you – exactly what you said Kirk even though you were there in real – you were happy before we fixed the smile – you were the happiest guy I ever met. Happier yeah, but you were pretty happy before and grateful for life and it’s just let people get to know you a little more. Yeah it acme a lot of times people would see my smile and you can kind of see in their face that it took a bit of getting used to, but you know once that happens then everything was fine but yeah I feel like you know when I meet kids now they don’t look at my face and have their eye wide for the first couple of minutes, they kind of warm up now – yeah it came as quite a shock. Thank you for sharing this story and so it has been a lot of fun and I am glad to have you choose us to help you. You could have gone to any number of fabulous dentists, and so glad you chose us. I am very grateful and glad!
I feel like I am slurring now – hi this is Dr. Stephen Matarazzo and this is one of our patients Teresa, and she has agreed to tell us a story about what was bothering her when she came in and what the results were, so Tracy if you can just tell us in your own words, what was he problem when you came in to see us? I went to see a dentist who pulled out most of my teeth, except for a few on the bottom, and gave me dentures that were oaky when I was – when I had the teeth out but one of my gums started to shrinking it was like they had just floated all over my mouth. I had to use all sorts of you know denture cream and those little pads and all sorts of things to hold them in my mouth and I could only wear them for a half hour a time because I just could not even talk with them. So I came here, and now I don’t even have to put anything in my mouth except for my dentures, and I can’t tell you how happy I am with the results for my – it is like night and day – it really is! How has it affected your life? Well that’s the whole thing it has been so long since I have being able to laugh or smile or do anything. It was actually my family that finally said – wow what a difference you know you are actually laughing and smiling and you don’t mind having your picture taken any more you know. It really made a huge difference. Wonderful – that is a wonderful story and we are glad we were able to help you. You have no idea. At Christmas time and thanksgiving – I was able to eat without having problems, and my family s the one that really made such a big difference because I dint notice how depressed I was and they did, and you can’t put a value on that you really cant. Yeah you can’t put a value on that and I am really happy. Thank you Teresa! You are welcome anytime!

Frequently Asked Questions About Full Mouth Restoration
What is full mouth restoration?
Full mouth restoration is a comprehensive approach to rebuilding the health, strength, comfort, and appearance of the entire mouth. It may involve repairing damaged teeth, replacing missing teeth, correcting bite problems, and improving the way the upper and lower teeth work together. Instead of treating one tooth at a time without a larger plan, Dr. Stephen Matarazzo evaluates the full picture so treatment supports long-term function and a confident smile.
Who might need a full mouth restoration?
Patients may need full mouth restoration if they have several broken, worn, decayed, loose, or missing teeth. It may also be appropriate for people who have chronic jaw discomfort, difficulty chewing, old dental work that keeps failing, or a smile that no longer feels healthy or stable. Many patients in Quincy consider this type of care when smaller repairs are no longer enough to solve their dental problems.
What treatments can be part of full mouth restoration?
A full mouth restoration may include crowns, bridges, dental implants, dentures, fillings, periodontal care, extractions, bite adjustments, or cosmetic dentistry. The exact combination depends on the condition of your teeth, gums, jawbone, bite, and previous dental work. Some patients need replacement teeth, while others need to rebuild worn or weakened teeth. The plan is customized after a thorough examination and discussion of your goals.
Can a full mouth restoration help if my bite feels uneven?
Yes, bite problems are often considered during full mouth restoration. When teeth are worn, missing, tilted, or restored at different times, the bite may no longer fit together comfortably. This can create pressure on certain teeth, contribute to breakage, and make chewing feel awkward. Rebuilding the mouth with bite balance in mind can improve comfort, protect restorations, and support more predictable long-term results.
How long does a full mouth restoration take?
The timeline depends on how complex your dental needs are and which procedures are included. Some treatment plans can be completed in phases over several weeks, while implant treatment or advanced restorative cases may take months. Phasing care can make treatment more manageable and allow urgent concerns, such as pain or infection, to be addressed first. Dr. Matarazzo can explain the expected timeline after evaluating your mouth.
Is full mouth restoration only for older adults?
No. Full mouth restoration is not based on age. Younger adults may need it because of dental trauma, severe grinding, acid erosion, developmental dental problems, or years of delayed care. Older adults may need it because of tooth loss, failing restorations, or bite collapse. The main question is whether the mouth needs comprehensive rebuilding to restore comfort, function, appearance, and stability.
Will full mouth restoration make my smile look better?
In many cases, yes. While the primary goal is to restore oral health and function, appearance is also an important part of treatment. Rebuilding damaged or missing teeth can improve tooth shape, color, facial support, smile balance, and confidence. Dr. Matarazzo can consider both cosmetic and functional goals, so the final result looks natural and feels comfortable when you speak, chew, and smile.
How do I care for my teeth after a full mouth restoration?
Long-term maintenance is essential. You will need consistent brushing and flossing, specialized cleaning tools, professional cleanings, and routine dental exams. If you clench or grind your teeth, a nightguard may be recommended to protect the restorations. Avoiding very hard chewing habits, keeping gums healthy, and addressing small concerns early can help preserve your investment and keep your restored smile functioning well for many years, with fewer setbacks, emergencies, repairs, and daily limitations over time.
