Full Mouth Reconstruction in Westlake Village
Worn-down enamel, a cracked molar that keeps flaring up, gums that bleed when you brush, and a bite that no longer feels right rarely show up one at a time. When several of these problems overlap, fixing one tooth at a time can feel like chasing a moving target. Full mouth reconstruction brings everything together into one coordinated plan. Our team at 805 Dentistry builds these plans for patients from Westlake Village and nearby communities who are ready to restore how their teeth look, feel, and work.
Full mouth reconstruction is a customized combination of restorative, surgical, and cosmetic treatments that rebuilds most or all of the teeth in both arches. Instead of treating problems in isolation, we look at your teeth, gums, jaw joints, and bite as one connected system. A plan might include crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, porcelain veneers, root canal therapy, gum disease treatment, or tooth replacement with dental implants, All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants, or implant-supported dentures.
Because every mouth is different, no two reconstructions look alike. One Westlake Village patient may need several worn teeth rebuilt with crowns. Another may need failing teeth replaced with a full-arch implant solution. We use tools like CBCT imaging, 2D and 3D dental imaging, and Digital Smile Design to map out your treatment before any work begins.
Patients usually come to us for a few distinct reasons. Some have years of grinding or clenching that has flattened their teeth, often along with jaw soreness or headaches. Our practice has a strong focus on TMJ treatment, so we can evaluate jaw clicking, locking, or limited movement as part of your plan rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Others are dealing with advanced gum disease, missing teeth, or a mouth full of older fillings and crowns that are breaking down. Some have had a traumatic dental injury, and some have simply put off care and now face several problems at once. Whatever brought you here, our goal is a plan that addresses the underlying causes and not just the symptoms.
Who is a good candidate for full mouth reconstruction?
You may be a good candidate if you have multiple damaged, worn, decayed, or missing teeth, or if problems with your bite or gums affect your whole mouth. The best way to know for sure is a thorough evaluation with our team.
During that visit, we review your dental and medical history, examine your teeth and gums, and take detailed imaging. If bone loss would make implants difficult, we may discuss bone grafting or a sinus lift first. If gum disease is present, we treat it before placing restorations so your new teeth have a healthy foundation. Our board-certified periodontist, board-certified endodontist, and board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist all work under one roof, which helps us plan complex cases carefully.
What does the reconstruction process involve?
The process happens in planned phases, and we walk you through each one before it begins. The number of visits depends on how many treatments your plan includes.
Here is what patients from Westlake Village can generally expect:
- A comprehensive exam, CBCT and digital imaging, and a discussion of your goals
- A written treatment plan that explains each phase and the order of care
- Foundational care first, such as gum treatment, root canals, or extractions
- Implant placement, grafting, or orthodontics if your plan calls for them
- Final restorations such as crowns, bridges, veneers, or implant-supported teeth
Our on-site dental lab lets us work closely on the fit and appearance of your restorations. If dental anxiety has kept you from getting care, our board-certified dental anesthesiologist offers nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia so you can feel more at ease during longer procedures.
How do I care for my teeth after reconstruction?
Caring for a reconstructed smile starts with consistent daily brushing, flossing, and regular visits with our team. Your restorations are durable, but the gums and supporting bone around them still need attention.
We schedule follow-up exams, professional cleanings, and periodontal maintenance or implant maintenance when appropriate. If you grind your teeth, we may recommend a night guard to help protect your new restorations. And if something unexpected comes up, we 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 to help make treatment more manageable. Because reconstruction is phased, many patients find it helpful to spread care over time.
Before treatment begins, we review your plan's costs with you and help you understand your options.
