Full Mouth Reconstruction in Calabasas
If you're in Calabasas and dealing with several worn, broken, or missing teeth, a jaw that never feels quite right, or old dental work that keeps failing one piece at a time, patching problems tooth by tooth can start to feel endless. That is where a coordinated plan helps. At 805 Dentistry in Thousand Oaks, our team led by Dr. Dar Radfar, DDS, plans full mouth reconstruction for Calabasas patients who want to address their whole mouth instead of chasing one problem after another.
Full mouth reconstruction is a customized treatment plan that rebuilds or restores most or all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. It is a combination of procedures sequenced in the right order to restore function, comfort, and appearance together, rather than a single procedure. Depending on what you need, a plan may include crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, porcelain veneers, root canal therapy, gum disease treatment, extractions, and tooth replacement with dental implants or dentures.
For some patients, the plan centers on replacing a full arch with All-on-4, All-on-6, or other All-on-X implant options, or with implant-supported or snap-in dentures. For others, it focuses on saving natural teeth by treating the gums, repairing cracked teeth, and rebuilding worn surfaces. Because we also provide TMJ therapy, we look at how your bite and jaw work together as part of the plan.
Many Calabasas patients come to us after years of separate fixes at different offices. One advantage of our practice is that much of the care a reconstruction can involve happens under one roof. Our team includes a board-certified periodontist for gum health and implant placement, a board-certified endodontist for root canals and retreatments, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist, and a board-certified dental anesthesiologist.
We also have an on-site dental lab and provide CBCT and 3D imaging, which help us plan implant placement and evaluate bone and jaw structures before treatment begins. When fewer handoffs to outside offices are needed, it is easier to keep a multi-step plan organized and moving forward.
Am I a candidate for full mouth reconstruction?
You may be a candidate if problems affect many teeth at once rather than just one or two. Common situations we see include:
- Multiple missing teeth or teeth that need extraction
- Teeth worn down from grinding or broken from decay or injury
- Advanced gum disease affecting several areas of the mouth
- Failing crowns, bridges, or dentures
- Bite problems or jaw discomfort connected to how your teeth meet
Candidacy depends on your gum health, bone levels, overall health, and goals. If bone has thinned where teeth were lost, procedures such as bone grafting or a sinus lift may be part of preparing for implants. If gum disease is present, we typically address it first with scaling and root planing or periodontal treatment so that new restorations rest on a healthy foundation.
What does the reconstruction process look like?
The process starts with a thorough exam, imaging, and a conversation about what bothers you most and what you want to change. From there, we build a step-by-step plan, and tools like Digital Smile Design can help you visualize the intended direction before work begins.
Treatment usually happens in phases. Early visits often focus on health, such as treating infection, gum disease, or teeth that cannot be saved. Later phases rebuild structure and appearance with implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, or dentures. The number of visits and overall timeline vary widely from one patient to the next, so we walk you through your specific sequence before anything starts. If anxiety has kept you from the dentist, we offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia through our dental anesthesiologist.
How do I care for my mouth after reconstruction?
Caring for a reconstructed smile looks a lot like good everyday dental care, with a few added habits depending on your restorations. Brushing, flossing, and keeping up with regular cleanings and exams remain the core of protecting your investment.
If your plan included implants, we provide implant maintenance and periodontal maintenance visits to keep the surrounding gums healthy. If grinding contributed to your original wear, we may recommend a night guard to protect your new teeth. We'll give you specific instructions for each phase, along with what to watch for between visits.
How can I pay for full mouth reconstruction?
We accept all major PPO insurance plans, welcome self-pay patients, and offer financing. Because reconstruction combines several procedures, coverage depends on your plan and the treatments involved, and we review the costs with you before treatment so there are no surprises.
Phasing treatment can also make the process more manageable. Once your plan is ready, our team can talk through how insurance, self-pay, and financing options might work together for you. Calabasas patients are welcome to call our Thousand Oaks office to schedule a consultation and take the first step.
