What Is Involved With A Full Mouth Reconstruction?

A full mouth reconstruction will cover everything that needs to be addressed. A thorough examination will be conducted in order for Dr. Chow to accurately assess what needs to be done to give you back the smile of your dreams. 

Each individual patient is unique, and we don't perform "cookie cutter" treatments. Your treatment plan will specifically take into account every procedure needed for your dental case and the correct sequence to accomplish them. However, it is likely that most reconstruction patients will require a dental implant of some kind. As Dr. Chow is one of the top providers of dental implants Malibu and Thousand Oaks has to offer, he encourages all of his patients to get a general understanding of implant placement procedure.

Real Patient Reviews

I had been wanting to find a holistic dentist for quite a while, so I did a bit of research and found Dr. Chow. I don’t usually like going to the dentist, but today changed that. Dr. Chow and his entire team are outstanding. His office is beautiful, clean, and the ambiance is calm and relaxing. My appointment was scheduled at 7:30 a.m., and I was escorted back to the dental chair at 7:29 a.m. They were kind enough to provide me with an early appointment so I could get to work on time. I had full X-rays and a cleaning by their amazing hygienist, who took her time explaining exactly what she was doing and what she was seeing throughout the procedure. She was pleasant to interact with and even massaged my gums as part of the cleaning. Dr. Chow then completed an extensive dental exam. He was extremely thorough and attentive to my concerns. He discovered four cavities that a previous dentist had missed. We also decided to perform a CT scan to ensure there was no hidden oral disease where previous root canals had been performed. I’m thrilled that I found Dr. Chow and his incredible team. I can’t wait for my daughters to see him as well. If you’re looking for an outstanding dentist who goes above and beyond in every way, Dr. Chow is your guy.

I was able to get squeezed in for a very challenging emergency tooth extraction due to a horrible infection. The entire staff was personable, and Dr. Chow took his time caring for my tooth. I was really sick from the infection, and I’m grateful for the care I received.

Dr. Chow is a true craftsman in his profession, and I would not hesitate to recommend him. He deserves all the five-star reviews posted about him. For 12 years, I suffered from infections affecting my sinuses and stomach and could not permanently heal them. Finally, a dentist discovered I had an infected cavitation in my lower left jaw that had gone undetected for more than 30 years. I had one opportunity to fix this issue and selected Dr. Chow because he was one of the few dentists with the expertise to properly address my condition. I also felt his fees were reasonable for the level of care required. It took about nine weeks after surgery for my body to adjust to not being sick all the time. Since then, I’ve experienced a dramatic resurgence in health that I had not felt in years. At 70 years old, I’m back in the gym three times a week, practicing yoga at home, and enjoying full productive days again. I truly feel like I have my life back. My wife, employees, and seven grandchildren thank you as well. Fantastic job by Dr. Chow.

After more than 20 years of struggling with chronic illness, I was led down a path that ultimately brought me to Dr. Chow. I decided to remove four root canals and all remaining metal fillings that were contributing to severe health concerns for me. What initially felt like a desperate last effort has turned into a journey of healing and hope. I have undergone two six-hour surgeries with Dr. Chow, with more treatment still ahead, and I have never felt more safe or cared for by a medical professional. The staff feels like family — warm, familiar faces that make me feel genuinely seen and supported. Dr. Chow’s passion for holistic medicine brings a unique perspective to treatment. He understands the connection between oral health and whole-body wellness. Following my procedures, he has continued supportive care with ozone therapy to help address lingering infections and inflammation. His care has played a major role in my recovery and renewed sense of hope. Choosing Dr. Chow was one of the best healthcare decisions I’ve ever made.

Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedure

Various procedures encompass a full mouth reconstruction. Any one or a combination of them may be necessary to restore your oral health and appearance of your smile.

  • Replacing Missing Teeth—This can be done with bridges, dentures, or dental implants.
  • Crowns—A crown is a "cap" that covers a tooth and looks natural. These are done in conjunction with bridges, implants or repairing damaged teeth.
  • Inlays and Onlays—These are fillings that are larger than normal. Sometimes an old filling needs to be replaced. Other times a tooth is damaged, but does not need a covering as large as a crown.

If you are in need of a full mouth reconstruction, you can be assured that when it is completed (and even during the process) you will not only have a smile that you are excited to show, but will experience an increased level of confidence and enjoyment of life.

What options are available for anxious patients or those undergoing multi-hour reconstruction surgeries?

How does Dr. Chow integrate holistic dentistry principles into a full mouth reconstruction?

Unlike traditional full mouth restorations, Dr. Chow combines comprehensive cosmetic and restorative care with whole-body wellness principles. This often involves procedures such as safe mercury removal, biological infection management with ozone dentistry, and routine care like a teeth cleaning alongside biocompatible choices such as ceramic dental implants to minimize inflammation and promote optimal healing.

Can full mouth reconstruction help relieve chronic jaw pain or bite misalignment?

Yes. A critical objective of full mouth reconstruction is restoring proper bite alignment and ideal function to the temporomandibular joint. If worn, missing, or shifted teeth are causing strain, re-establishing your correct bite through custom treatments for TMJ & jaw pain, combined with protective restorations like porcelain crowns, can relieve chronic discomfort.

What is the difference between cosmetic smile makeovers and full mouth reconstruction?

While cosmetic treatments like KöR whitening or porcelain veneers focus primarily on aesthetic improvements, a full mouth reconstruction addresses both severe structural/functional damage and cosmetic concerns simultaneously. It is a comprehensive, multi-phase treatment plan designed for patients with missing, badly broken, or functionally compromised teeth.

How are missing teeth and soft tissue recession typically addressed during a full mouth reconstruction?

Depending on your oral health and jawbone condition, missing teeth can be replaced using permanent dental implants, fixed bridges, or modern dentures. Additionally, structural support around restored teeth can be reinforced with a procedure like gum grafting to ensure a stable, healthy foundation.

What options are available for anxious patients or those undergoing multi-hour reconstruction surgeries?

To ensure maximum patient comfort during complex multi-step procedures or longer surgical appointments, Dr. Chow offers specialized sedation dentistry options, including IV sedation, in a calm and relaxing environment.
