Full Mouth Rehabilitation in West Hills
A cracked molar on one side, a loose bridge on the other, front teeth worn down from years of grinding, and gums that bleed when you brush. When problems like these pile up, fixing one tooth at a time rarely solves the bigger picture. Full mouth rehabilitation brings all of those issues into a single, coordinated plan. Our team at 805 Dentistry builds these plans for patients from West Hills and across the surrounding communities, so you can address your whole mouth with one team instead of piecing care together across several offices.
Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive approach to restoring the health, function, and appearance of all or most of your teeth. Rather than treating a single cavity or replacing one missing tooth, we look at how your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw work together, then sequence treatment so each step supports the next. Your plan may combine restorative, periodontal, surgical, and cosmetic care, depending on what your mouth needs.
The range of patients we see is broad. Some West Hills patients come to us with several failing fillings and old crowns. Others have lost multiple teeth and want to explore dental implants, implant-supported bridges, or full-arch options like All-on-4 or All-on-6. Some have worn their teeth down from clenching and grinding, and some are dealing with gum disease that has to be controlled before any restoration can last. Many have a combination of these concerns.
Planning starts with a thorough exam and detailed imaging. Our board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist provides CBCT imaging and 2D and 3D scans, which give us a clear view of bone, roots, and jaw joints before we recommend anything. We also use digital smile design to help you visualize the goals of treatment and talk through options together.
From there, we sequence your care. Gum health typically comes first, with scaling and root planing, gum disease treatment, or periodontal surgery from our board-certified periodontist. Next may come root canal therapy from our board-certified endodontist, extractions, bone grafting, or sinus lifts if implants are planned. Final restorations can include crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, porcelain veneers, implant-supported dentures, or complete and partial dentures. Our on-site dental lab lets us coordinate restorations closely within our own practice.
What are the benefits of full mouth rehabilitation?
The main benefit is that your entire mouth is treated as one connected system, which helps each restoration fit into a healthy, stable foundation. Here is what that coordinated approach can offer:
- One team overseeing every phase, from gum care to final restorations
- Specialists on staff, including periodontics, endodontics, radiology, and dental anesthesiology
- Treatment planned around your bite and jaw, not just individual teeth
- Options for replacing missing teeth with implants, bridges, or dentures
- Sedation choices for patients who feel anxious about longer visits
For West Hills families, having these services under one roof means fewer referrals and less time spent coordinating between offices. Because we also have a strong focus on TMJ treatment and sleep apnea, we can factor jaw pain, clicking, or grinding into your plan rather than treating them as separate problems.
Am I a good candidate, and will I be comfortable during treatment?
You may be a good candidate if you have multiple damaged, worn, or missing teeth, ongoing gum disease, or bite problems that affect chewing or cause jaw discomfort. The best way to know is a consultation, where we examine your mouth, review your imaging, and talk through your goals and concerns.
Comfort matters, especially when treatment involves several visits. Our board-certified dental anesthesiologist offers nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia, so patients with dental anxiety have real options. We will discuss which level of sedation fits each phase of your care.
How do I care for my new smile, and how can I pay for treatment?
Aftercare focuses on protecting your investment with good daily habits and regular professional visits. Brushing, flossing, and cleaning around implants and bridges as we show you are essential. We provide periodontal maintenance and implant maintenance visits, and if you clench or grind, we may recommend a custom night guard to help protect your restorations.
On cost, we accept all major PPO insurance plans and welcome self-pay patients. Financing is available to help spread the cost of a larger treatment plan over time. During your consultation, our team will walk you through your plan phase by phase so you understand each step before it begins.
