Full Mouth Reconstruction in West Hills
If you've been living with a mix of worn, broken, missing, or failing teeth, you may have reached the point where fixing one tooth at a time no longer makes sense. Maybe chewing has become uncomfortable, older dental work keeps needing repairs, or you simply feel your smile no longer reflects who you are. For patients in West Hills facing that kind of crossroads, our team at 805 Dentistry offers full mouth reconstruction, a coordinated plan that addresses the health, function, and appearance of your entire mouth together.
Full mouth reconstruction is not a single procedure. It is a personalized combination of restorative, surgical, and cosmetic treatments designed to rebuild most or all of the teeth in both arches. Depending on your needs, your plan might include crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, porcelain veneers, root canal therapy, gum disease treatment, extractions, or tooth replacement with dental implants, implant-supported bridges, or full-arch options such as All-on-4, All-on-6, and All-on-X.
Patients come to us from West Hills for many different reasons. Some have teeth worn down by years of grinding. Others have several missing teeth, advanced gum disease, or a history of extensive dental work that is beginning to break down. Some are dealing with jaw discomfort alongside their dental problems. Because Dr. Dar Radfar and our team look at the whole picture, including your gums, bite, and jaw joints, we can build a plan that fits your situation rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all approach.
Your first visit focuses on understanding where things stand. We perform a thorough dental exam, review your concerns and goals, and use 2D and 3D imaging, including CBCT scans, to evaluate your teeth, bone, and surrounding structures. Our office has a board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist on staff, which gives us detailed insight when planning complex care such as implants or bone grafting.
From there, we map out your treatment step by step. With Digital Smile Design, we can help you visualize the direction of your new smile before treatment begins. We'll walk you through the sequence of care, explain why each step matters, and answer your questions, so you leave knowing exactly what lies ahead.
Who is a good candidate for full mouth reconstruction?
You may be a good candidate if multiple teeth are damaged, missing, or failing, or if problems with your gums or bite are affecting your whole mouth. Common situations we see include:
- Several missing teeth or teeth that need extraction
- Severe wear from grinding or clenching
- Gum disease that has affected the support around your teeth
- Multiple cracked, broken, or decayed teeth
- Older crowns, bridges, or dentures that no longer fit or function well
- Jaw discomfort or TMJ concerns connected to an uneven bite
Your overall oral health shapes your path. If gum disease is present, our board-certified periodontist can treat it first with options like scaling and root planing or periodontal surgery. If implants are part of your plan and bone support is limited, we may recommend bone grafting or a sinus lift to prepare the area.
What happens during treatment, and will I be comfortable?
Treatment happens in carefully planned phases, and we offer several ways to keep you comfortable throughout. Early stages typically address health concerns such as infection, decay, or gum disease. Later stages focus on rebuilding function and appearance with restorations, implants, or dentures. Having specialists on our team, including a board-certified endodontist and periodontist, means much of your care can happen under one roof rather than across several offices.
If dental visits make you anxious, you're not alone. Our board-certified dental anesthesiologist offers nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia, so we can match your comfort level to the procedure. Our on-site dental lab also supports the custom restorations that are central to many reconstruction plans.
How do I care for my new smile after treatment?
Aftercare centers on daily home care and regular professional visits to protect your investment. We'll show you how to brush and clean around crowns, bridges, and implants, and we'll schedule cleanings, exams, and, where appropriate, periodontal maintenance or implant maintenance visits.
If grinding contributed to your original problems, we may recommend a night mouth guard to help protect your new restorations. Because our practice has a strong focus on TMJ and sleep apnea treatment, we can also keep an eye on how your jaw and bite are functioning over time.
How can I pay for full mouth reconstruction?
We accept all major PPO insurance plans, welcome self-pay patients, and offer financing to help make treatment manageable. Because every reconstruction plan is different, we'll review the costs of your specific treatment during your consultation and help you understand your options.
Many West Hills patients appreciate being able to phase treatment over time while staying on a clear plan. If you're ready to explore what full mouth reconstruction could look like for you, our team at 805 Dentistry would be glad to meet you and talk through your goals.
