Full Mouth Reconstruction in Oak Park
Full mouth reconstruction rebuilds the function, health, and appearance of all or most of your teeth through a coordinated plan rather than one procedure at a time. If you live in Oak Park and are dealing with several worn, broken, missing, or failing teeth at once, our team at 805 Dentistry designs a single roadmap that addresses everything together. Our office in Thousand Oaks brings general, restorative, surgical, and specialty care under one roof, so Oak Park patients can complete even complex treatment without coordinating between multiple practices.
Full mouth reconstruction is not one treatment. It is a customized combination of restorative, surgical, and cosmetic procedures chosen for your specific mouth. Depending on what we find, your plan might include crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, porcelain veneers, root canal therapy, gum disease treatment, extractions, or dental implants. For patients missing many or all of their teeth, it may involve full arch options such as All-on-4, All-on-6, or All-on-X implants, implant-supported dentures, or snap-in dentures.
What sets this approach apart is coordination. Instead of patching one tooth this year and another next year, we look at how your teeth, gums, jaw joints, and bite work together. Dr. Dar Radfar leads our team, and because we have a board-certified periodontist, board-certified endodontist, and board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist on staff, each phase of your care is planned with the full picture in mind.
People from Oak Park come to us for reconstruction in a wide range of situations. Some have teeth worn down from years of grinding or clenching. Others have multiple old fillings and crowns that are breaking down, teeth damaged by decay or trauma, advanced gum disease, or several missing teeth that make chewing difficult. Some simply want to replace an unstable denture with something more secure.
A thorough evaluation tells us whether reconstruction makes sense for you. We use CBCT imaging and 2D and 3D dental imaging to examine bone levels, tooth roots, and jaw structures in detail. If you have jaw clicking, locking, headaches, or facial pain, that matters too. Our practice has a strong focus on TMJ treatment and sleep apnea, so we factor your jaw health into the plan instead of overlooking it.
What happens during full mouth reconstruction?
Reconstruction happens in planned phases, beginning with a complete exam and imaging and ending with your final restorations. First, we discuss your goals and review your scans with you. We may use Digital Smile Design to help you visualize the outcome before treatment begins. From there, we map out the order of care.
Most plans address health first and appearance second. That often means treating gum disease through scaling and root planing or periodontal surgery, handling root canals or extractions, and completing any bone grafting or sinus lift surgery needed to support implants. Restorations and cosmetic work follow once the foundation is stable. Our on-site dental lab supports the restorative stages. A typical journey includes:
- A comprehensive exam, imaging, and treatment planning visit
- Foundational care such as gum treatment, extractions, or root canals
- Implant placement and bone grafting when needed
- Final crowns, bridges, veneers, or full arch restorations
- Follow-up visits to check your bite and comfort
Can I be sedated if I feel anxious?
Yes, we offer several sedation options, and a board-certified dental anesthesiologist is on our staff. Choices include nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia. The right option depends on your health, the procedures involved, and how you feel about dental care.
Many patients facing extensive work have put off treatment because of anxiety. Sedation can make longer appointments far more manageable, and it can help some patients complete more work in fewer visits. We will talk through the options during your planning visit.
How do I care for my teeth after reconstruction?
Protecting your new smile comes down to good daily habits and regular professional visits. Brush and floss thoroughly every day, paying close attention to the areas around crowns, bridges, and implants. We will show you the techniques and tools that suit your restorations.
Ongoing appointments matter just as much. Depending on your needs, we may recommend periodontal maintenance or implant maintenance visits along with routine exams and cleanings. If you grind your teeth, a custom night guard can help protect your restorations. Should anything feel off, we also offer emergency dental appointments.
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 provide a clear breakdown of your treatment once we have completed your evaluation.
Our team helps you understand how your insurance applies to each phase and whether financing could make treatment more manageable. If you live in Oak Park and are ready to explore your options, contact our office to schedule a consultation.
