One Design, Not Patches
The whole mouth is planned as one design instead of one tooth at a time, so each repair is chosen to fit the rest.
Full-Mouth Reconstruction in Alexandria, VA
The whole mouth, rebuilt as one plan.
When teeth are worn, broken, failing or missing across the mouth, a prosthodontist rebuilds them together, with implants, crowns, bridges and veneers chosen to fit one design and one bite. Board-certified prosthodontist Dr. Esam Abou Nahlah plans it and restores it.
The Benefits
What a Full-Mouth Reconstruction Gives You
When worn, broken and missing teeth arrive together, a reconstruction plans the finished mouth first, so every crown, bridge, veneer and implant works toward one result.
See the Result First
A free digital preview, built from photos and scans of your mouth, shows the finished smile. You approve it before any tooth is prepared.
Upper and Lower That Meet
Both jaws are designed to meet as one bite, and the final teeth are balanced to it.
Natural Teeth Kept Where Possible
Teeth that can stay are crowned, bridged or veneered, and implants replace only the ones that are missing.
Foundations Treated First
Gum disease, failing teeth and thin bone are dealt with before the new teeth go in, in the order the plan sets.
A Plan Sized to You
If the examination shows only part of the mouth needs work, the plan stays that size.

Our Office
What Our Duke Street Office Has for a Full Rebuild
A lab in the building
We design and mill crowns, bridges and full arches in our own office, so we settle shade and fit with you in person.
Guided by the scan
We plan each implant on the cone-beam scan of both jaws and place it through a guide printed from it, at the planned angle and depth.
Sedation for long visits
Nitrous oxide or oral sedation, given by our own team, for the longer surgical appointments. Those are the only two options we offer.
One team, two offices
Dr. Nahlah treats patients at both offices, so the care on Duke Street is the care at Tysons Corner.

Questions
Full-Mouth Reconstruction Questions
Who does full-mouth reconstruction in Alexandria?
Dr. Esam Abou Nahlah, board-certified in prosthodontics, the dental specialty in rebuilding teeth. He plans each case at 2855 Duke Street and restores it, with the teeth made in our lab in the same building.Meet Dr. Nahlah →
How much does full-mouth reconstruction cost?
It depends on how many teeth need crowns, bridges or implants, and whether extractions or bone grafting come first, so we work out the figure from your own scan and give it to you in writing at the consultation. We accept most PPO plans, and financing is available.Cost and financing →
What is recovery like after the surgery?
Most patients are back to normal activity within about a week of implant surgery. We handle minor discomfort with over-the-counter medication, and you eat soft foods while the implants fuse.
Will I be without teeth during treatment?
Usually not. When we put a whole arch on implants, most patients leave surgery with fixed provisional teeth, and a temporary tooth can be worn while a single implant heals.All-on-4 in Alexandria →
Is Duke Street the nearer office for me?
For Alexandria, Arlington, Springfield, Annandale and Burke it usually is. From McLean, Tysons, Vienna or Great Falls, our other office is closer, and Dr. Nahlah sees patients there too.Full-mouth reconstruction in McLean →
Can I get a second opinion on a plan I already have?
Yes, at no charge. Bring the plan, the quote and any scans or X-rays another office has taken; our cone-beam scan shows what your whole mouth needs.
