Full Mouth Rehabilitation
When Everything Needs to Be Rebuilt, the Plan Matters More Than the Procedure.
Full mouth rehabilitation, also called full mouth reconstruction, combines treatments for worn, damaged or missing teeth. At Mona Lisa Smile Dental in Walnut Creek, Dr. Mohammad Khandaqji starts with your diagnosis, bite and goals to plan the sequence of care.
You May Be a Candidate If...
Does Any of This Sound Like You?
Full mouth rehabilitation coordinates restorative care across your mouth to improve function and appearance. Your plan may combine crowns, bridges, implants or other treatment, depending on which teeth can be preserved and what needs rebuilding.
Multiple teeth are broken, decayed, or failing
Old restorations keep being replaced with no lasting result
Your bite has collapsed and remaining teeth are wearing down fast
You are experiencing chronic jaw pain, muscle tension, or headaches from your bite
You want one comprehensive plan, not ongoing patchwork
Our Approach
Rebuilding Without Understanding the Cause Is Not Rehabilitation. It Is Repetition.
Repeatedly failing dental work can have more than one cause. We assess tooth structure, decay, gum health, bite forces and existing restorations before recommending replacement treatment.
Every full rehabilitation we do begins with a comprehensive Dental Stability Evaluation. We map the bite, screen for inflammation, assess bone and tissue, and evaluate joint health. Only then do we design a treatment sequence.
The Sequence
How Full Mouth Rehabilitation Works
Every phase builds on the one before it. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is skipped.
Phase 1
Comprehensive Evaluation
We review your history, examine your teeth and gums, and assess your bite and jaw joints. Digital scans, bite records and CBCT imaging may be used when clinically appropriate.
Phase 2
Disease Control
Active infection, inflammation, or gum disease is treated first. Unsalvageable teeth are removed. The foundation must be healthy before we rebuild on it.
Phase 3
Bite Stabilization
When bite instability is part of the problem, we establish a stable position first using a splint, orthodontic movement, or temporary restorations before placing final work.
Phase 4
Prototype
Temporary restorations may be used to evaluate comfort, appearance and bite before final work. The type of prototype and any adjustments depend on your treatment plan.
Phase 5
Final Restorations
The plan may include crowns, bridges, veneers or dental implants. Materials and treatment choices depend on the remaining tooth structure, bite and goals.
Phase 6
Protection and Maintenance
A nightguard and ongoing maintenance schedule protect the investment and catch any changes early.

"My Teeth Kept Breaking." — Tom
For years Tom kept breaking his front teeth, and every repair felt temporary. A comprehensive evaluation revealed the real cause — an unstable bite placing excessive force on his teeth. Once that was addressed, his smile was rebuilt as one complete, stable system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward answers before your first visit.
There is no single timeline for full mouth rehabilitation. The sequence depends on the treatment involved, healing and whether orthodontic or implant care is needed. After evaluation, we discuss the expected stages, temporary restorations and review visits so you can plan around treatment.
Treatment may be divided into phases when clinically appropriate. Ask which problems need attention first, which steps can wait and how delays might affect the overall plan. Cost depends on the number and type of restorations, preliminary treatment and maintenance. Request an itemized estimate and confirm insurance benefits for each proposed stage.
Temporary teeth or restorations may be part of your plan, but the type and timing depend on the procedures and healing requirements. Ask what you will wear at each stage and what eating restrictions to expect. Fixed temporary teeth cannot be promised for every situation.
Our approach begins with evaluation, followed by treatment of active disease and assessment of bite stability before final restorations. The sequence is tailored to the findings. Read Dr. Khandaqji’s background and bring your concerns, previous treatment records and questions to the consultation.
A previous assessment is important information to bring to your visit. Suitability depends on your oral health, medical history and the treatment being considered. An evaluation can clarify the reasons, discuss alternatives and identify whether specialist input is needed. It does not guarantee that a particular treatment will be suitable.
Full mouth rehabilitation is the overall treatment plan and can include restoring natural teeth. All-on-X or full-arch implants are an option for replacing a complete arch of missing or non-restorable teeth when appropriate. Rehabilitation does not automatically mean removing all your teeth. Your evaluation should explain which teeth can be retained and compare the available options.
