Full Mouth Rehabilitation in Agoura Hills
Chewing on both sides of your mouth, smiling in photos without hesitating, and waking up without a sore jaw are things most people take for granted until several teeth begin to fail at once. For many of our patients in Agoura Hills, the right answer is no longer one more filling or one more crown. They need a coordinated plan that restores the whole mouth together. At 805 Dentistry, we call this full mouth rehabilitation. Our Thousand Oaks office is set up to handle nearly every step of it under one roof.
Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive treatment plan that rebuilds the health, function, and appearance of most or all of your teeth. We do not treat each problem in isolation. Instead, we look at how your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw work together, and then combine the treatments that fit your situation. Depending on your needs, your plan may include crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, porcelain veneers, root canal therapy, gum disease treatment, bone grafting, and dental implants. It may also include full arch options such as All-on-4, All-on-6, or implant-supported dentures.
Planning carefully is what makes this approach work. Dr. Dar Radfar and our team begin with a thorough exam and advanced imaging, including CBCT 3D scans reviewed by our board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist. We also use Digital Smile Design so you can see and discuss the direction of your treatment before we begin. TMJ and bite problems are a strong focus of our practice, so we pay close attention to how your jaw moves and how your teeth meet.
Agoura Hills patients come to us for full mouth rehabilitation for many different reasons. These are some of the most common situations we see:
- Worn or flattened teeth from grinding, often linked to jaw pain, clicking, or headaches
- Several old or failing restorations that keep breaking down, leaking, or developing new decay
- Multiple missing teeth, or teeth that can no longer be saved
- Gum disease that has loosened teeth or caused gum recession
- Cracked or injured teeth that need root canal care before they can be rebuilt
Each of these situations calls for a different starting point. Someone who grinds may need bite correction and a night guard to protect new restorations. Someone with advanced gum disease may first need scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery, or gum grafting with our board-certified periodontist. Someone missing most of their teeth may be a candidate for full arch implants, sometimes with a sinus lift or bone grafting to build a stable foundation.
Because our team includes a board-certified endodontist, a board-certified periodontist, and a board-certified dental anesthesiologist, we can coordinate these steps within one practice. You will not need to be sent between offices around the region. A consultation is the best way to learn whether you are a candidate and which approach suits you.
What does the full mouth rehabilitation process involve?
The process moves in stages, starting with your foundation and ending with your final restorations. After your consultation and imaging, we review a personalized plan with you that lays out the order of treatment and the reasons behind it. We first address infection, decay, and gum health, since new restorations need healthy support to last.
Next comes structural work, such as extractions, bone grafting, or implant placement, when your plan calls for it. Your crowns, bridges, veneers, or implant restorations are then crafted with support from our on-site dental lab. This lets us coordinate fit and appearance closely. If dental anxiety has kept you from seeking care, we offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia provided by our board-certified dental anesthesiologist. Many Agoura Hills patients find this makes a multi-stage plan much more manageable.
How do I care for my results, and how can I pay for treatment?
Your new smile needs consistent daily brushing and flossing, plus regular professional visits to stay healthy. Depending on your treatment, we may recommend periodontal maintenance, implant maintenance, or a custom night guard to protect your restorations from grinding. Ongoing checkups help us spot small concerns early and keep your bite comfortable over time. Your restorations and your oral health should keep serving you well.
We want cost to be clear from the start. We accept all major PPO insurance plans and welcome self-pay patients. We also offer financing, which lets you spread the cost of a staged plan over time. During your consultation, we will walk you through your treatment options and help you understand your coverage. If you live in Agoura Hills and are ready to talk about rebuilding your smile, our team in Thousand Oaks is glad to help you take the first step.
