Many people would love to change something about their smile, whether it’s fixing chipped teeth or correcting alignment issues.

Our prosthodontist, Dr. Ramin Mahallati, and our team at the Center for Implant & Esthetic Dentistry offer a range of cosmetic and restorative services at our office in Beverly Hills, California, including full mouth reconstruction.
Cosmetics are certainly important when it comes to your smile. In fact, many people have a wishlist of things they’d like to improve, such as whiter or straighter teeth.
However, appearances are only part of the story. First, oral health issues like gum disease or cavities must be treated.
A full mouth reconstruction considers your cosmetic and oral health needs.
Every full mouth reconstruction is different and depends on your specific needs. It usually involves making several repairs to tooth and gum damage.
For example, a case of advanced gum disease may require repairing damaged or receding gum tissue or replacing missing teeth. Full mouth reconstructions typically include a combination of cosmetic and restorative treatments, including:
The most serious issue is addressed first. For example, if you have gum disease, the priority will be to prevent it from progressing to the point where the damage to the soft tissue that supports your teeth is irreversible.
A full mouth reconstruction addresses multiple advanced oral health issues. However, like most health challenges, dental problems usually start small and get worse over time. The best way to avoid significant dental damage is to stay on top of your oral health.
Schedule a dental exam and cleaning. When caught and treated early, the first stage of gum disease (gingivitis) is reversible and doesn’t lead to permanent damage.
Here are some symptoms you shouldn’t ignore:
You may not experience symptoms immediately, so it’s important to schedule regular preventive care.
