Full Mouth Reconstruction in Simi Valley
If you're living with worn, broken, or missing teeth, or with ongoing jaw discomfort, and you've started to feel that fixing one tooth at a time will never catch up, you're not alone. Many of our Simi Valley patients come to us at exactly that point. Full mouth reconstruction brings everything together into one coordinated plan, so instead of chasing problems as they appear, you can work toward a mouth that functions well and feels comfortable again. Our Thousand Oaks office serves families throughout Simi Valley, and we handle much of this care under one roof.
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment plan that restores or rebuilds most or all of the teeth in your upper and lower jaws. It isn't a single procedure. It combines the restorative, surgical, and cosmetic treatments your mouth actually needs. Depending on your situation, that might include crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, porcelain veneers, root canal therapy, gum disease treatment, extractions, dental implants, or implant-supported dentures. For some patients, it means full arch options such as All-on-4, All-on-6, or All-on-X implants.
Because every mouth is different, no two plans look the same. One Simi Valley patient might need several worn teeth crowned and a bite issue addressed, while another might need failing teeth removed, bone grafting, and a full arch of implants. Dr. Dar Radfar and our team build the plan around your teeth, gums, jaw, and goals.
At our office, specialists you might otherwise visit separately work together. Our team includes a board-certified periodontist for gum health, gum grafting, and implant placement, and a board-certified endodontist for root canals, retreatments, and cracked teeth. We also have a board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist who provides CBCT and 3D imaging, and a board-certified dental anesthesiologist who offers sedation options.
We also have an on-site dental lab, which helps us coordinate restorations closely with your treatment. For Simi Valley patients, this means fewer referrals to outside offices and fewer places to drive between appointments. It also means one team that understands your whole plan from start to finish.
Am I a good candidate for full mouth reconstruction?
You may be a good candidate if multiple teeth are damaged, missing, or failing, or if problems in your mouth affect each other. Common situations include:
- Several teeth that are broken, cracked, or heavily worn from grinding
- Multiple missing teeth or loose, uncomfortable dentures
- Advanced gum disease that has affected the teeth and supporting bone
- Old, failing fillings, crowns, or bridges throughout the mouth
- Bite problems, jaw pain, or TMJ symptoms connected to how your teeth meet
Because our practice has a strong focus on TMJ and orofacial pain, we look closely at how your jaw works, not only at your teeth. If grinding, jaw clicking, or facial pain is part of the picture, we factor that into your plan. A consultation is the best way to find out what approach makes sense for you.
What does the treatment process look like?
The process starts with a thorough exam and imaging so we can see the full picture before recommending anything. We use 2D and 3D imaging, including CBCT scans, to evaluate your teeth, bone, and jaw joints. From there, we walk you through your options. We may use digital smile design to help plan how your restored smile will look.
Treatment is usually done in phases. We typically address gum health, infections, and urgent problems first, then move on to restorations, implants, or cosmetic work. If you feel anxious about dental care, our dental anesthesiologist offers nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia to help you stay comfortable during longer or more involved visits.
How do I care for my mouth afterward?
Caring for a reconstructed smile comes down to steady daily habits and regular professional visits. Brush and floss carefully, follow any specific instructions for your implants or restorations, and keep your scheduled cleanings and exams.
We provide ongoing support, including periodontal maintenance and implant maintenance through our periodontics team. If grinding played a role in your original damage, we may recommend a night guard to help protect your new restorations. Since we see children and adults of all ages, your whole Simi Valley household can keep up with routine care in the same office.
How can I pay for full mouth reconstruction?
We work to make comprehensive care manageable, and we offer several ways to pay. We accept all major PPO insurance plans, and we also welcome self-pay patients.
Financing is available for patients who prefer to spread costs over time. Because your plan is often completed in phases, we can talk through the timing of each stage with you. We'll review your options during your consultation so you know what to expect before treatment begins.
