Regain function, health, and confidence with full-mouth reconstruction at the Center for Advanced Dentistry in San Jose. Dr. Lim delivers personalized care to restore your smile completely.
When multiple dental issues affect your ability to eat, speak, or smile confidently, you may need more than routine dental care. Full-mouth reconstruction addresses complex dental problems through a comprehensive treatment approach that restores both function and aesthetics to your entire smile.
At Center for Advanced Dentistry, we understand extensive dental problems can impact every aspect of your life. Our board-certified prosthodontist, Dr. Steve Lim, brings over 25 years of experience in complex dental rehabilitation. We merge advanced technology with personalized care to rebuild smiles that last a lifetime. Our state-of-the-art facility in San Jose offers IV sedation options for your comfort, and we work with many dental insurance plans to help make your full-mouth reconstruction as affordable as possible.
Full-mouth reconstruction, also known as full-mouth rehabilitation, is a comprehensive treatment plan addressing multiple dental issues affecting most or all of your teeth. This comprehensive approach goes beyond cosmetic improvements to restore proper bite alignment, jaw function, and oral health.
Unlike a single procedure, full-mouth reconstruction combines various treatments to achieve optimal results. Your treatment plan may include:
Each reconstruction plan is unique because every patient presents different challenges and goals. The process begins with a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, jaw joints, and bite mechanics to create a treatment strategy created to your specific needs.
Full-mouth reconstruction benefits patients with extensive dental problems routine care alone cannot resolve. You might be a candidate if you experience multiple dental issues simultaneously or have neglected dental problems that have worsened over time.
Severe tooth decay affecting multiple teeth often requires comprehensive restoration. When cavities have progressed beyond simple fillings, a coordinated approach using crowns, root canals, and other treatments can save your natural teeth while restoring function.
Advanced gum disease leads to tooth loss and bone deterioration. Full-mouth reconstruction addresses both the periodontal issues and their consequences, rebuilding your smile from a healthy foundation.
Traumatic injuries from accidents or sports can damage multiple teeth simultaneously. Whether you’ve experienced fractures, knocked-out teeth, or jaw injuries, reconstruction can restore your smile’s appearance and function.
Severe tooth wear from grinding or acid erosion compromises your bite and can lead to jaw problems. Reconstruction rebuilds worn teeth to their proper height and shape, restoring balanced function.
Congenital conditions or developmental issues may result in missing teeth or improper jaw alignment. Full-mouth reconstruction can address these lifelong concerns with modern restorative techniques.
Failed previous dental work often necessitates comprehensive treatment. Old fillings, crowns, or bridges may need to be replaced as part of a coordinated reconstruction plan.
A consultation is the first step on your path to a restored smile at our San Jose office. This initial appointment involves much more than a standard dental exam; we evaluate every aspect of your oral health to create your personalized treatment plan.
During your consultation, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools, including digital X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess your teeth, bone structure, and jaw joints. We examine your bite mechanics, evaluate your gum health, and discuss your treatment goals. This thorough evaluation helps us identify all issues requiring attention and develop a logical sequence for addressing them.
Your treatment plan outlines each procedure, the proposed timeline, and financial considerations. We prioritize treatments based on urgency, with issues affecting your oral health taking precedence over purely cosmetic concerns. The plan remains flexible to accommodate your schedule and budget while ensuring optimal outcomes.
Full-mouth reconstruction typically occurs in phases over several months. The first phase typically addresses urgent issues, such as infections, severe decay, or teeth that require extraction. We establish a healthy foundation before moving to restorative procedures.
Subsequent phases focus on rebuilding your smile with permanent restorations. This may involve placing dental implants, preparing teeth for crowns, or completing root canal therapy. We coordinate treatments efficiently to minimize your time in the dental chair while allowing proper healing between procedures.
The final phase involves fine-tuning your bite and ensuring all restorations work together harmoniously. This attention to detail ensures long-lasting results and comfortable function.
Full-mouth reconstruction addresses the root causes of your dental problems while providing lasting solutions. This investment offers the following advantages that extend far beyond an improved smile:
Restored oral health forms the foundation of all benefits. By eliminating decay, treating gum disease, and replacing missing teeth, reconstruction prevents future problems while improving your overall health.
Enhanced quality of life follows successful reconstruction. Patients report improved confidence in social and professional settings, better nutrition due to restored chewing ability, and relief from chronic discomfort. The ability to eat favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile without embarrassment transforms daily experiences.
Long-term value makes reconstruction worthwhile despite the initial investment. Quality restorations can last decades with proper care, preventing the cycle of temporary fixes and emergency treatments. The comprehensive approach often proves more cost-effective than addressing problems individually over time.
Modern full-mouth reconstruction benefits from technological advances that improve outcomes and patient comfort. Our San Jose practice stays current with innovations that enhance precision and reduce treatment time. Digital treatment planning allows us to visualize your results before beginning treatment, using computer-aided design to ensure restorations fit perfectly and function optimally. We can show you projected outcomes and make adjustments based on your preferences.
This advanced technology also enables same-day restorations for certain procedures, reducing the number of appointments needed. While not every restoration can be completed in a single visit, we can streamline many processes that previously required multiple appointments, making your treatment more convenient and efficient.
At the Center for Advanced Dentistry, your journey to a restored smile starts with an in-depth consultation. Dr. Lim will evaluate your unique situation and create a plan that addresses all your dental concerns. We offer flexible financing options to make your reconstruction affordable, and our team works with your insurance to maximize your benefits.
