Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
You recognize these feelings, and that recognition is the first step. A rebuilt smile can bring back comfort and confidence you thought were gone.
What Waiting Really Costs
Damage Spreads
Small problems grow into bigger ones that reach healthy teeth and gums.
Bone Changes
Missing teeth allow the jawbone to shrink, complicating future treatment.
Costs Climb
Delaying care often turns simpler fixes into more involved work later.
Options Narrow
The longer you wait, the fewer treatment paths remain open to you.
Comfort Fades
Daily eating and speaking grow harder as your bite keeps changing.
Confidence Dips
Avoiding smiles and social moments becomes a habit that's hard to break.
Acting sooner usually means a simpler path and a stronger, healthier result.
What Is Full-Mouth Reconstruction?
Full-mouth reconstruction is a personalized plan that rebuilds most or all of your teeth to restore comfort, function, and appearance. It often blends treatments like crowns, bridges (replacement teeth anchored to neighboring teeth), veneers (thin shells that cover the front of teeth), dental implants (permanent tooth replacements), and gum care into one coordinated approach. Rather than treating problems one at a time, it looks at how your teeth, bite, and gums work together so the finished result feels balanced and natural.
At Santa Rosa Dental, we plan full-mouth reconstruction in Santa Rosa with digital imaging and 3D scans that map your mouth in detail before treatment begins. This precision lets Drs. Michael and Lara Rice sequence your care thoughtfully and design restorations that fit your features, your bite, and your long-term health.

What to Expect From Your Treatment
Consultation and Evaluation
Your care begins with a thorough exam using digital scans and 3D imaging to capture the full picture of your teeth, bite, and gums. We talk through what you're experiencing and what you hope to change. You leave this visit with a clear understanding of your situation and the possibilities ahead, with no pressure to decide anything on the spot.
Personalized Planning
Next, we build your treatment plan and sequence each phase in a realistic order. Using detailed imaging, Drs. Michael and Lara Rice map out which treatments you need and when, so the path forward makes sense. You'll see how the plan fits your life, your timeline, and your goals before any treatment starts.
Restorative Treatment
As your plan moves forward, we complete the restorative work, which may include crowns, bridges, or other custom restorations. Comfort options like nitrous, oral sedation, and IV (intravenous) sedation are available so longer visits feel easy. Each appointment brings your smile closer to full function, and we check in with you throughout to keep things smooth.
Implant Placement
When your plan includes implants, we place them using Yomi robotic guidance for precise, controlled positioning. This technology supports smaller incisions and smoother healing. You'll have a secure foundation forming for your final restorations, and we'll guide you through the healing period with clear support.
Final Restoration and Reveal
Once healing is complete, we place your final restorations and fine-tune your bite for a comfortable, natural fit. We adjust every detail until your smile looks and feels right. You leave with rebuilt function and a smile you can feel proud of.

Healing After Full-Mouth Reconstruction
First 24-48 Hours
Expect mild soreness and some swelling in the treated areas, which is completely normal early on. Rest, stick to soft foods, and follow the simple guidance we provide. Most patients find this stage far easier than they anticipated.
First 1-2 Weeks
Any tenderness continues to ease as the treated areas settle. You'll gradually return to more of your usual foods and routines as comfort allows. Most people feel steadily better through this stretch and appreciate knowing we're a call away.
Long-Term Healing
When your plan includes implants, the posts fuse with your jawbone over several months to create a stable foundation. This quiet healing happens in the background while you go about daily life. Each check-in confirms your progress toward lasting, comfortable results.
