Why Amarillo Patients Choose Pendergrass and Wilkie
Full mouth rehabilitation is a multi-appointment, multi-procedure commitment. Three things at Pendergrass and Wilkie Dentistry make the process smoother for Amarillo patients.
In-House Dental Implant Placement
Full mouth rehabilitation often includes dental implants, and Drs. Pendergrass and Wilkie perform every phase of implant treatment at our Amarillo office. You will not be referred to a separate specialist for placement and then sent back for the restoration.
CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Our Amarillo office uses CEREC technology to design and place a natural-looking crown in a single visit. For rehabilitation plans that involve multiple crowns, same-day delivery can reduce the total number of appointments meaningfully.
Sedation for Longer Appointments
Full mouth rehabilitation sometimes calls for longer appointments than a single-tooth procedure. Sedation options are available so patients can complete more of the plan in fewer visits and stay comfortable throughout.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation Cost
and Financing
Full mouth rehabilitation is priced by the individual case because no two rehabilitation plans are the same. Cost depends on how many teeth need restoration, which procedures are involved (implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, root canals, and more), and whether preparatory work (extractions or bone grafts) is required. Drs. Pendergrass and Wilkie provide a personalized cost estimate at your consultation.
Our practice accepts Aetna, Ameritas, Connection Dental, Dental Select, GEHA, Guardian, Humana, MetLife, Physicians Mutual, Principal, SunLife, UNUM, and other types of insurance. We also work with CareCredit® to make the payments manageable. Flexible financing keeps monthly payments affordable for qualified patients, and our team walks you through the options at your consultation so you can plan around the full cost before treatment begins.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Most adults with widespread dental concerns are candidates for full mouth rehabilitation. Common signs that it may be right for you include:
- Multiple missing, cracked, or heavily decayed teeth
- Chronic bite issues or difficulty chewing
- Advanced gum disease that has affected multiple teeth
- Extensive prior dental work that is failing and needs replacement
- Aesthetic concerns paired with underlying health issues
Your first step is a consultation with Dr. Pendergrass or Dr. Wilkie. During the consultation, we assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and walk you through the sequence and cost of a rehabilitation plan tailored to your case.
What Can a Full Mouth Reconstruction Involve?
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts used to replace lost tooth roots. Because implants are placed directly in the jaw where they will not slip out of place, they are the ultimate solution for tooth loss. Once the implants have fused with the jaw, they can support restorations like crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that our dentists place over compromised teeth. A crown can also be attached to an implant to replace a single missing tooth. Our Amarillo office features CEREC same-day crown technology, allowing us to design and place a natural-looking crown during one appointment.
Dentures
Modern dentures are not the ill-fitting prosthetics that were more common just a few years ago. Our Amarillo dentists design incredibly lifelike full and partial dentures that can transform your smile and restore your ability to speak and chew. You can also have your restoration attached to dental implants for optimal results.
Root Canal Therapy
Many patients who are exploring full mouth reconstruction have dental infections. Root canal therapy can often remove the infected material from a tooth and prevent the need for an extraction. Our doctors are able to perform comfortable root canal procedures at our Amarillo office. Nervous patients can take advantage of our sedation options.

Common Questions About Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Will insurance cover
full mouth rehabilitation?
Coverage depends on your specific plan and the procedures involved. Insurance often covers medically necessary restorative procedures (crowns to protect a compromised tooth, root canals to save an infected tooth) but rarely covers cosmetic-only work. Our team helps verify your benefits and explain what will be out-of-pocket before treatment begins.
Can I get all the work
done at once?
Not usually. Full mouth rehabilitation is intentionally sequenced across multiple appointments so each phase (extractions, healing, implant placement, osseointegration, restoration) can happen in the right order. Trying to compress everything into a single visit would compromise the results.
How long does a full mouth rehabilitation take?
The timeline varies significantly based on your specific plan. A rehabilitation that involves dental implants typically runs three to six months or longer, because implants need time to fuse with the jawbone before the final restoration can be placed. A plan focused on crowns and bridges without implants can be completed in a few weeks. Dr. Pendergrass or Dr. Wilkie will give you a specific timeline at your consultation.
Am I too old for full mouth rehabilitation?
No. Age is rarely a limiting factor. What matters is your general health and the health of your gums and remaining teeth. Many of our full mouth rehabilitation patients are in their 60s or 70s and complete the process successfully.
