Dental Rehabilitation in Woodland Hills
Dental rehabilitation is rarely a single procedure. It is a coordinated plan that rebuilds the health, function, and appearance of your entire mouth, often combining restorative, periodontal, surgical, and cosmetic care into one sequence. At 805 Dentistry, we create these plans for patients from Woodland Hills and across the surrounding communities. We bring general dentistry, specialists, imaging, and an on-site dental lab together under one roof, so you are not sent from office to office to finish your treatment.
Dental rehabilitation, also called full mouth rehabilitation or full mouth reconstruction, addresses multiple problems at once instead of treating teeth one at a time. A patient might have worn or cracked teeth, missing teeth, gum disease, old failing restorations, and a bite that no longer fits together comfortably. Fixing one tooth in isolation can leave the bigger picture unresolved. A rehabilitation plan looks at how everything works together.
Depending on your needs, your plan may draw on treatments such as crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, root canal therapy, gum disease treatment, bone grafting, dental implants, implant-supported bridges, complete or partial dentures, and All-on-4 or All-on-X full arch implants. For some patients, cosmetic steps like porcelain veneers, composite bonding, or gum contouring complete the result. We also use Digital Smile Design to help you visualize your planned smile before treatment begins.
Many Woodland Hills patients come to us after years of patchwork dental work, or after putting off care until several issues have built up. Rehabilitation can be a good fit if you have several missing or badly damaged teeth, or significant wear from grinding. It can also help if you have advanced gum problems, or if eating and speaking have become difficult. People who have struggled with uncomfortable dentures often explore implant-supported or snap-in dentures as part of a larger plan.
Because our practice also has a strong focus on TMJ treatment and sleep apnea care, we pay close attention to how your jaw and bite function. If jaw clicking, locking, or chronic facial pain is part of your story, our orofacial pain services can be considered alongside your restorative work.
What happens during the dental rehabilitation process?
The process starts with a thorough evaluation and moves through treatment in planned phases. We begin with a comprehensive exam and imaging. Our board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist provides CBCT and 3D imaging, which gives us a detailed view of your teeth, bone, and jaw joints.
From there, we sequence your care logically. A typical progression looks like this:
- Stabilization: treating infection, decay, and gum disease first, including scaling and root planing or periodontal surgery when needed
- Foundation work: extractions, bone grafting, sinus lifts, or crown lengthening to prepare for restorations
- Restoration: placing implants, crowns, bridges, or dentures, many of which are crafted with support from our on-site dental lab
- Refinement: cosmetic finishing such as veneers, whitening, or tooth recontouring
- Protection: night guards and a maintenance schedule to protect your investment
Some phases can happen close together, while others need healing time in between. We walk you through the timeline for your specific plan so you know what each visit involves.
Will I be comfortable during treatment?
Yes, comfort is built into how we deliver care, especially for longer or more involved visits. Our team includes a board-certified dental anesthesiologist, and we offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia. Patients with dental anxiety, or anyone facing extensive work, can talk with us about which option suits them.
Having anesthesia and specialists in one practice also means fewer separate appointments. Our board-certified periodontist and board-certified endodontist handle gum, implant, and root canal care in our own office, which keeps your plan coordinated and saves Woodland Hills patients repeated trips.
How do I care for my mouth after rehabilitation?
Long-term care combines good home habits with regular professional visits. Brushing and flossing remain essential, and we show you how to clean around implants, bridges, or dentures based on what you received. If you grind your teeth, a custom night guard helps protect new restorations.
We schedule routine cleanings, exams, and, when appropriate, periodontal maintenance or implant maintenance. These visits let us catch small issues early and keep your restorations, gums, and supporting bone healthy for the long run.
How can I pay for dental rehabilitation?
We accept all major PPO insurance plans, welcome self-pay patients, and offer financing. Because rehabilitation is often completed in phases, costs can be spread across your treatment timeline. We review your plan and expected costs with you before you commit.
When you are ready, reach out to schedule a consultation. We will listen to your concerns, explain your options clearly, and build a plan around your goals.
