Full Mouth Reconstruction in Newbury Park
When chewing a simple meal takes planning, or you find yourself hiding your smile in photos, the problem usually isn't just one tooth. Worn, broken, missing, or failing teeth tend to affect each other, and patching them one at a time can feel endless. Full mouth reconstruction looks at your whole mouth at once and builds a coordinated plan. Our team at 805 Dentistry, led by Dr. Dar Radfar, provides this care for patients in Newbury Park and throughout the surrounding communities.
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment plan that restores most or all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. It isn't a single procedure. It brings together the restorative, surgical, and cosmetic treatments your mouth needs, in a sequence that makes sense for your health, comfort, and bite.
Depending on your situation, your plan might include crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, root canal therapy, gum disease treatment, extractions, bone grafting, or dental implants. For patients missing many teeth, it may involve full arch options such as All-on-4, All-on-6, or All-on-X implants, implant-supported bridges, or implant-supported and snap-in dentures. Porcelain veneers, composite bonding, and Digital Smile Design can refine how the finished result looks.
Many of our Newbury Park patients come to us after years of piecemeal dental work, or after putting off care until several problems overlapped. Full mouth reconstruction can be a fit if you're dealing with:
- Multiple missing teeth, or teeth that need to be removed
- Teeth that are badly worn, cracked, or broken
- Advanced gum disease affecting the stability of your teeth
- Several aging or failing fillings, crowns, or bridges
- Bite problems or jaw discomfort related to how your teeth meet
- Dentures that no longer fit or feel secure
Because our practice has a strong focus on TMJ treatment, we pay close attention to how your bite and jaw work together. If you're experiencing jaw clicking, locking, or facial pain, we factor that into your plan rather than treating your teeth in isolation. The goal is a mouth that functions comfortably as a whole, not just teeth that look better.
What happens during the full mouth reconstruction process?
The process starts with a thorough evaluation, followed by a step-by-step treatment plan built around your needs. We begin with a comprehensive exam and imaging, including 2D and 3D imaging and CBCT scans, interpreted with the help of our board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist. This gives us a detailed view of your teeth, bone, and jaw joints before we recommend anything.
From there, we explain your options and the order of treatment. Typically, we address health first, such as treating infection or gum disease, then move to foundational work like implants or bone grafting, and finish with final restorations. Our board-certified periodontist and board-certified endodontist are part of our team, so many specialized steps can happen within our office. Our on-site dental lab also helps us coordinate restorations closely. For patients who feel anxious, our board-certified dental anesthesiologist offers nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia.
How do I care for my mouth after reconstruction?
You care for a reconstructed smile much like natural teeth, with daily brushing, flossing, and regular professional visits. We'll give you specific instructions for each stage of treatment, since caring for a healing implant site differs from caring for a new crown.
Ongoing visits matter. Depending on your restorations, we may recommend routine cleanings, periodontal maintenance, or implant maintenance to keep your gums and supporting structures healthy. If you grind or clench, a night guard can help protect your new work. Because we see patients of all ages, your whole Newbury Park household can keep their routine dental care in one place.
How can I pay for full mouth reconstruction?
We accept all major PPO insurance plans, welcome self-pay patients, and offer financing. Because every reconstruction plan is different, we review costs with you once your treatment plan is set, so you understand what's involved before you commit.
Treatment can often be phased over time, which may help spread out costs and work with your insurance benefits. Our team will walk through your coverage and financing options with you in plain terms. If you live in Newbury Park and have been putting off care because the problem feels too big, a consultation is a practical first step. We'll show you what's going on and outline a realistic path forward.
