Full Mouth Reconstruction in Fairhope, AL

Why Patients Across the Eastern Shore Trust Dr. Greer With Their Most Complex Cases

Full-mouth reconstruction is not a procedure you hand off to a generalist and hope for the best. It requires a dentist who has advanced training across multiple disciplines- restorative, cosmetic, implant, and surgical- and who can coordinate all of them in a single, coherent plan without sending you to three different specialists.

Dr. Greer has that training. He completed his dental degree at Meharry Medical College in Nashville and has pursued continuing education in implantology, cosmetic dentistry, oral sedation, laser dentistry, CEREC® technology, and Invisalign®, giving him the clinical range to handle complex reconstructions that many general dentists would refer out. He founded Sweet Water Dentistry more than 12 years ago, building a practice along the Gulf Coast that has become one of the most trusted dental homes in Baldwin County.

Warm blankets. Neck pillows. A team that learns your name. A dentist who takes the time to understand not just your teeth but what’s holding you back from getting them fixed. Patients drive from Daphne, Mobile, Spanish Fort, Gulf Shores, and Foley to experience it, because once you find a dental home that actually feels like one, you don’t settle for anything less.

Who Is Full-Mouth Reconstruction For?

Patients who come to Sweet Water Dentistry for full-mouth reconstruction often share a common experience: they’ve been quietly managing dental problems for longer than they’d like to admit, and something has finally made them ready to deal with it all at once. Some were afraid to go to the dentist for years. Some had a health event that accelerated dental decline. Some simply reached a point where the patchwork of old fillings, missing teeth, and workarounds stopped being good enough.

You may be a good candidate for full-mouth reconstruction if you’re dealing with any combination of the following:

• Multiple missing teeth or teeth that need to be extracted
• Significant decay that’s spread across several teeth
• Teeth that have cracked, fractured, or broken down over time
• Gum disease that has affected the underlying bone structure
• A bite that feels “off” or causes jaw pain
• Old dental work (bridges, dentures, crowns) that has failed and needs to be replaced

If you’ve been told by another dentist that your case is complicated or that you’ll need to see multiple specialists, that conversation is worth having with Dr. Greer. He handles complex restorative and cosmetic cases in-house, without the referral shuffle.

What Your Reconstruction Plan Might Include

Full-mouth reconstruction at Sweet Water Dentistry draws from the full range of restorative and cosmetic services Dr. Greer offers. Most plans involve a combination of the following, sequenced in the right order to build on each other.

Dental Implants

For missing teeth or teeth that can’t be saved, dental implants are the gold standard. Dr. Greer uses 3D Cone Beam imaging to plan implant placement with precision, evaluating bone density, nerve position, and available space before a single incision is made. The result is a permanent, non-removable replacement tooth that functions and looks exactly like the real thing. For patients missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges can replace an entire section of the arch with fewer individual implants.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns protect and restore teeth that are structurally compromised, cracked, heavily decayed, or broken down beyond what a filling can reliably address. Dr. Greer offers both traditional lab-fabricated crowns and CEREC® same-day crowns, depending on the tooth and your timeline. Either way, the result is a custom, tooth-colored restoration built to your bite.

Porcelain Veneers

For front teeth that are intact but aesthetically damaged, discolored, chipped, or uneven, porcelain veneers can transform the visible surface while preserving most of the underlying tooth structure. In reconstruction plans, veneers are often placed as one of the final steps, after the functional foundation has been restored.

Dental Bridges

When one or more adjacent teeth are missing, and implants aren’t the right fit, a porcelain bridge can restore the gap by anchoring to healthy neighboring teeth. Dr. Greer designs bridges to blend seamlessly with surrounding dentition in both color and proportion.

Gum Disease Treatment

No reconstruction can succeed long-term on an unhealthy foundation. If gum disease is part of the picture, it’s addressed first, before restorations are placed, so that everything Dr. Greer builds has healthy tissue and bone to support it.

Invisalign®

In some cases, teeth need to be repositioned before restorations are placed. Dr. Greer is an Invisalign® provider and incorporates clear aligner therapy into reconstruction plans when alignment issues are contributing to wear, bite problems, or aesthetic concerns.

Tooth Extractions and Bone Grafting

When teeth that can’t be saved need to be removed, Dr. Greer performs extractions and, where needed, bone grafting to preserve the jaw structure needed for implant placement down the road.

Teeth Whitening

For patients whose natural teeth are healthy but stained, professional whitening is often incorporated at the end of a reconstruction plan, after restorations are placed, so that shading decisions can be made relative to your final, brightened baseline.

Your Journey with Full-Mouth Reconstruction

Your Comprehensive Evaluation

Your first appointment is a conversation as much as an exam. Dr. Greer takes time to understand what’s bothering you, what you’re hoping for, and what you’re comfortable with. He conducts a full clinical exam, takes 3D Cone Beam images and digital X-rays to evaluate bone structure, root health, and bite alignment, and creates a complete picture of your oral health from the ground up. There’s no pressure to commit to anything at this visit; it’s about understanding what you’re working with.

A Custom Treatment Plan

Based on the evaluation, Dr. Greer puts together a detailed treatment plan that lays out exactly what’s recommended, in what order, and why. He walks through the plan with you step by step, not in dental jargon, but in plain language that makes sense. You’ll know what the result looks like, how long the process will take, and what the investment will be. Questions are expected, and he answers all of them.

Foundational Work First

Reconstruction follows a logical sequence. Health before aesthetics. Structural stability before cosmetics. If gum treatment, extractions, or bone grafting are needed, those happen at the beginning, building the foundation that everything else will rest on.

Restorations, Built to Work Together

Implants, crowns, bridges, veneers – each restoration is placed in sequence according to the plan, with Dr. Greer monitoring fit, function, and aesthetics at every stage. Temporary restorations are used where needed to protect teeth and give you functional coverage throughout the process. Nothing is rushed.

The Final Placement and Smile Reveal

When all restorations are in place and your bite is dialed in, you’ll see the full result. Patients who’ve completed reconstruction at Sweet Water Dentistry consistently describe the experience of seeing their finished smile as one of the most emotional moments of the entire process. It’s the appointment the whole journey has been building toward.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care

Dr. Greer doesn’t hand you a finished reconstruction and send you on your way. He provides specific maintenance guidance for every restoration in your plan, builds you into the recall system for regular check-ins, and remains your ongoing dental home for everything that comes after.

Making Full-Mouth Reconstruction Work With Your Budget

Full-mouth reconstruction is an investment, and Dr. Greer is upfront about that from the first consultation. Before any treatment begins, you’ll have a clear picture of the total cost and a breakdown by phase.

To make comprehensive care more accessible, Sweet Water Dentistry offers Cherry Financing, a flexible payment plan that lets you spread the cost of treatment over time so your budget doesn’t have to determine what care you receive. For patients without dental coverage, the Sweet Water Down By The Bay Membership Plan offers discounted rates on restorative care and can meaningfully reduce out-of-pocket costs throughout a multi-phase plan.

Dr. Greer also understands that not everyone can do everything at once. If phasing your treatment over a longer timeline makes more sense for your life, he’ll help you prioritize the sequence so that the most urgent work is done first, and the plan remains on track even if the pace needs to flex.

Frequently Asked Questions About Full-Mouth Reconstruction

How long does full-mouth reconstruction take?

It depends entirely on what your plan includes. A reconstruction involving gum treatment, multiple implants, and final restorations across the whole mouth may take 12 to 18 months or more from start to finish. A less complex plan, say, a few crowns and a bridge, might be completed in a matter of weeks. Dr. Greer gives you a realistic timeline at your evaluation, with milestones so you always know where you are in the process.

What if I’ve been avoiding the dentist for years — is it too late?

It’s not too late. Some of Sweet Water Dentistry’s most transformative cases started with patients who hadn’t seen a dentist in a decade. The first appointment is just an honest assessment of where things stand; there’s no judgment, only a clear picture of your options and a plan to move forward.

Can I get a sense of what my smile will look like before treatment starts?

In many cases, yes. For cosmetic components of the plan, Dr. Greer uses digital technology to preview outcomes before treatment begins, so you have a clear sense of what you’re working toward. Ask about this at your consultation.

The First Step Is Just a Conversation

If you’ve been carrying the weight of significant dental problems for longer than you’d like, wondering what it would take to actually fix all of it, Dr. Greer would like to talk. No pressure, no commitment. Just an honest look at where things stand and what’s possible.

Patients from Fairhope, Daphne, Spanish Fort, Mobile, Foley, and across the Gulf Coast have walked out of that first appointment with something they didn’t expect: a clear plan, a realistic timeline, and the first real hope they’ve had in years that their smile could be different.
