Full Mouth Reconstruction in Ventura
A cracked molar on one side, a worn-down front tooth, a bridge that no longer fits, and gums that bleed when you brush. When several problems like these build up at once, fixing them one appointment at a time can feel endless. For patients in Ventura who are ready to address everything together, our team at 805 Dentistry plans full mouth reconstruction as one coordinated treatment, so each step supports the next and your whole mouth works together again.
Full mouth reconstruction is a customized plan that restores or replaces most or all of the teeth in your upper and lower jaws. Instead of treating each tooth as a separate issue, we look at how your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw function as a system. Your plan may combine several treatments we offer, such as crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, root canal therapy, gum disease treatment, dental implants, and complete or partial dentures.
For some Ventura patients, reconstruction means saving as many natural teeth as possible with restorations and gum care. For others, it means replacing failing teeth with full arch dental implants, including All-on-4, All-on-6, and All-on-X options, or implant-supported and snap-in dentures. We also use Digital Smile Design to help you see the planned result before treatment begins, so function and appearance are planned together from the start.
Reconstruction can help people in a wide range of situations. Common examples include widespread decay, teeth worn down by grinding, multiple missing or broken teeth, older dental work that is failing, gum disease that has loosened teeth, and bite problems connected to jaw discomfort. Because our practice has a strong focus on TMJ treatment, we pay close attention to how your bite and jaw joints may be affected as we plan your care.
The only way to know if reconstruction is right for you is a thorough evaluation. Some patients need foundational work first. That might mean treating gum disease, placing a bone graft, or performing a sinus lift so implants have adequate support. We'll explain what your mouth needs and why, and we'll talk through alternatives honestly so you can make an informed choice.
What happens during the full mouth reconstruction process?
The process starts with a detailed exam and imaging, followed by a step-by-step treatment plan built around your goals. Our office provides CBCT imaging and 2D and 3D dental imaging, and we have a board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist on staff. That gives us a clear view of your bone, roots, and jaw joints before any treatment begins.
Here is what you can generally expect:
- Consultation and imaging to assess teeth, gums, bone, and bite
- A written treatment plan outlining each phase and its sequence
- Foundational care, such as cleanings, scaling and root planing, extractions, or root canals
- Surgical phases, if needed, such as bone grafting, sinus lifts, or implant placement
- Final restorations, such as crowns, bridges, veneers, or full-arch prosthetics
Because so much is handled under one roof, Ventura patients don't have to coordinate between separate offices. Our team includes a board-certified periodontist, a board-certified endodontist, and a board-certified dental anesthesiologist. We also have an on-site dental lab. For patients who feel anxious, we offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia.
What does recovery and aftercare look like?
Recovery depends on which treatments are included in your plan, and we give you clear instructions after every phase. Restorative visits often involve little downtime. Surgical steps like extractions, grafting, or implant placement need a healing period, and we'll go over diet, cleaning, and comfort guidance before you leave the office.
Long-term care protects your investment. We recommend regular exams and cleanings, plus periodontal maintenance or implant maintenance when appropriate. If you grind your teeth, we can make a night guard to help protect your new restorations. At home, consistent brushing and flossing remain essential, and we'll show you techniques that suit your specific restorations.
How can I pay for full mouth reconstruction?
We accept all major PPO insurance plans, welcome self-pay patients, and offer financing. Because reconstruction is planned in phases, we'll go over the expected costs for each stage, so you can see how the plan fits your budget before committing.
Our office in Thousand Oaks proudly serves Ventura and neighboring communities across the 805.
