If your teeth are worn, missing, or damaged, a full-mouth reconstruction can fully restore your smile’s function, health, and confidence. At our dental implant surgery center in South Bay, our prosthodontic and periodontal experts deliver advanced, customized care for patients needing comprehensive restoration. With the latest 3D imaging, laser technology, and in-house digital design, we create smiles that look natural, feel comfortable, and stand the test of time.

What Full-Mouth Reconstruction Involves

Full-mouth reconstruction—sometimes called full-mouth reconstruction—combines restorative and cosmetic treatments to rebuild every tooth in your smile. The goal is not only to improve appearance but also to restore proper bite alignment, chewing ability, and long-term oral health.

Each patient’s plan is unique. At our Torrance dental implant center, our prosthodontists and periodontists work together to design a plan that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

Common treatments included in a full-mouth reconstruction may consist of:

  • Dental implants} or All-on-X
  • Porcelain crowns and veneers
  • Periodontal therapy to treat gum disease
  • Bone regeneration or sinus augmentation
  • Bite correction or occlusal adjustments
  • Advanced digital restorations made in-house

Each case begins with an in-depth assessment and ends with a transformed smile that feels strong, stable, and natural.

Phase 1: Comprehensive Exam and 3D Planning

The first step in any successful full-mouth reconstruction is a thorough evaluation and detailed digital planning. This enables our team to thoroughly assess every aspect of your oral health, ensuring your results are precise and comfortable.

During this phase, we use our advanced diagnostic tools, including:

  • 3D CBCT scanning to evaluate bone structure and plan implant placement with pinpoint accuracy.
  • Digital Smile Design software to visualize your new smile before treatment begins.
  • TRIOS intraoral scanning for fast, comfortable, and impression-free models of your teeth.

After we gather your images and diagnostic information, we create a detailed treatment roadmap that outlines each stage, cost considerations, and estimated healing timelines. You’ll know exactly what to expect at every step.

Phase 2: Building a Healthy Foundation

Healthy gums and bone are essential to support long-term restoration success. During this phase, our periodontal team addresses any underlying conditions, such as gum disease or bone loss, to create a stable foundation for your new smile.

Periodontal Therapy and Laser Care

If gum disease is present, we utilize advanced techniques, including periodontal therapy and Waterlase laser treatment, for gentle and precise tissue care. Waterlase uses light energy and water to treat infected areas with less discomfort and faster healing than traditional methods.

Bone Regeneration and Sinus Augmentation

When bone volume needs to be restored for future implants, we perform bone regeneration procedures. These treatments encourage natural bone growth to strengthen areas weakened by tooth loss or infection. In cases involving upper molars, sinus augmentation may also be performed to provide additional support for implant placement.

Phase 3: Implants and Provisional Restorations

Once your foundation is ready, we proceed with rebuilding your bite and smile using dental implants and temporary restorations. Dental implants serve as artificial tooth roots that fuse with the bone for permanent support.

We use dental implants to replace individual teeth or as anchors for bridges and full-arch restorations. In many cases, temporary teeth are placed while your implants heal, allowing you to eat and smile comfortably throughout the process.

Our use of in-house CAD/CAM technology and 3D printing ensures that your provisional restorations are precisely designed and crafted for both function and aesthetics.

Healing Timeline for Implants

Healing after implant placement typically takes several months as the implants integrate with your bone. During this period, we schedule follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure that your bite remains comfortable and balanced.

Phase 4: Final Restorations and Bite Refinement

After healing, we place your final restorations, including custom crowns, bridges, or full-arch prosthetics. Each restoration is carefully designed to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth in terms of color, shape, and function.

Our on-site digital lab allows us to control every aspect of your restoration, ensuring a precise fit and natural aesthetics. Dr. Rodriguez performs final bite adjustments to ensure perfect comfort and alignment, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.

With proper care and hygiene, your new restorations can last for many years, maintaining both the function and beauty of your smile.

Phase 5: Comfort, Sedation, and Post-Treatment Care

Every step of treatment should be as comfortable as possible. To make your experience relaxing, we offer gentle sedation options and advanced technology that minimizes discomfort.

Advanced Comfort Technologies

  • STA “The Wand” anesthesia system for precise, virtually painless numbing
  • Waterlase laser dentistry for minimally invasive tissue treatment
  • Digital imaging and scanning for a comfortable, needle-free experience

After treatment, we provide personalized aftercare instructions, including tips for maintaining good hygiene, a balanced diet, and follow-up appointments to ensure your investment is protected.

Understanding Cost and Financing

The cost of full-mouth reconstruction depends on the number of procedures, materials used, and individual needs. Because this treatment can be phased over time, we help patients prioritize their goals and create a realistic plan.

We’ll review your treatment estimate in detail, explain insurance coverage, and discuss flexible financing options to make your care accessible. Our team believes transparency builds trust, and we’ll guide you through every step.
