When multiple dental problems require coordinated treatment, our tri-specialist team delivers complete smile rehabilitation under one roof. Board-certified periodontist, prosthodontist, and cosmetic dentist working together. Just 12 minutes from Irvine via I-405 S.
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive, customized treatment plan that restores the health, function, and appearance of the entire mouth when multiple dental problems exist simultaneously. Unlike a single crown or an individual implant, full mouth reconstruction addresses the interrelated nature of dental disease by treating the foundation (bone and gums), the structure (teeth and restorations), and the aesthetics (alignment, color, and symmetry) as one coordinated plan. For patients near Irvine seeking this level of care, The Loft Dental Studio in Costa Mesa brings together three specialists whose combined expertise covers every aspect of complex dental rehabilitation.
Patients who need full mouth reconstruction typically have not one isolated problem but a cascade of issues that have developed over years or decades. Teeth that were lost led to bone resorption. Remaining teeth shifted out of alignment due to the missing neighbors. The bite became uneven, causing excessive wear on certain teeth. Gum disease progressed because misaligned teeth are harder to clean. Old dental work began to fail. By the time a patient seeks help, these problems are deeply interconnected, and addressing them one at a time without a coordinated plan often leads to repeated failures and wasted money.
What makes full mouth reconstruction at The Loft Dental Studio fundamentally different from most dental offices is our tri-specialist team model. Rather than one generalist attempting to handle every aspect of a complex reconstruction, three independently trained specialists collaborate on your case from the first consultation through the final restoration. Each specialist contributes expertise that takes years of dedicated training to develop, and the result is a level of precision and predictability that a single provider simply cannot match.
Why This Matters: In a traditional dental setting, your general dentist would refer you to an outside oral surgeon for implants, then to another office for prosthetics, and possibly to yet another provider for cosmetic work. Each specialist works in isolation, communicating through referral letters. At The Loft Dental Studio, all three specialists examine you together, plan your treatment together, and execute the plan in a coordinated sequence within the same office. This eliminates miscommunication, avoids conflicting treatment approaches, and produces a final result where every component works together harmoniously.
Every full mouth reconstruction at The Loft Dental Studio begins with a comprehensive diagnostic workup that gives our specialists the detailed information they need to plan your treatment with precision. This is not a brief exam with a few X-rays. It is a thorough evaluation that maps every aspect of your oral condition.
After the diagnostic data is gathered, all three specialists meet to discuss your case, review the findings, and develop a coordinated treatment plan. You receive a detailed presentation of the proposed treatment, including the sequence of procedures, estimated timeline, and cost breakdown. Nothing proceeds until you fully understand and approve the plan.
Full mouth reconstruction is not a single procedure but a carefully sequenced series of treatments. The specific procedures in your plan depend on your individual condition. Below are the most common components.
Our tri-specialist team provides comprehensive evaluations for patients near Irvine seeking complete dental rehabilitation. One consultation, three expert opinions.
Call (714) 549-7030Because full mouth reconstruction involves multiple procedures performed in a planned sequence, the recovery process is spread across the entire treatment timeline rather than occurring all at once. Each phase has its own healing period, and our specialists schedule procedures so that recovery from one phase overlaps with the planning of the next.
The most important thing patients should understand about full mouth reconstruction is that it is an investment in long-term oral health, not just a cosmetic upgrade. When the surgical foundation is built correctly with adequate bone support and healthy gum tissue, the final restorations can last decades. Cutting corners on the foundation to save time or money invariably leads to failures down the road. Our tri-specialist approach ensures that every layer of the reconstruction is handled by the specialist most qualified to execute it, which is why our results are both beautiful and durable.
The cost of full mouth reconstruction depends entirely on the specific procedures required for your case. Because no two patients have the same combination of problems, every treatment plan is unique. After your comprehensive evaluation, our team provides a detailed cost breakdown so you can make an informed decision.
Many components of full mouth reconstruction are partially covered by PPO dental insurance, including crowns, bridges, extractions, and some surgical procedures. Our administrative team verifies your benefits before treatment begins. We accept most major PPO plans including Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Guardian, Aetna, United Healthcare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Financing is available through CareCredit with low-interest and interest-free payment plans, and we accept FSA and HSA funds.

Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment plan that restores the function, health, and appearance of all or most of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. You may need full mouth reconstruction if you have multiple missing teeth, severely worn-down teeth, widespread decay, failing dental work such as old crowns or bridges, advanced gum disease that has caused bone loss, or trauma that has damaged several teeth. At The Loft Dental Studio, our tri-specialist team evaluates your entire oral condition including bone levels, gum health, bite alignment, and aesthetic goals to create a coordinated treatment plan rather than treating individual problems in isolation.
Full mouth reconstruction involves multiple disciplines of dentistry that each require years of specialized training. At The Loft Dental Studio, Dr. Chanook David Ahn is a Yale-trained board-certified periodontist who handles dental implant placement, bone grafting, gum treatment, and the surgical foundation of the reconstruction. Dr. Lu is a board-certified prosthodontist who designs and fabricates the crowns, bridges, and prosthetics that restore the visible teeth and proper bite function. Dr. Yuliya Filipenka is an orthodontist-trained cosmetic dentist who ensures the teeth are properly aligned and the final result is aesthetically beautiful. Having all three specialists collaborate under one roof eliminates miscommunication, reduces treatment time, and produces superior results compared to being referred between multiple separate offices.
The total duration of a full mouth reconstruction varies depending on the complexity of the case and the procedures involved. Simple cases that primarily require crowns and cosmetic work may be completed in 3 to 6 months. Cases involving dental implants typically require 6 to 12 months because the implants need time to integrate with the bone before final restorations are placed. Complex cases involving bone grafting followed by implants and prosthetics may take 12 to 18 months. Throughout the process, you will have functional temporary restorations so you are never without teeth. Dr. Ahn, Dr. Lu, and Dr. Filipenka coordinate the treatment timeline so that surgical healing periods overlap with prosthetic planning, minimizing the total treatment duration.
Full mouth reconstruction costs vary significantly depending on the specific procedures required. A case involving crowns on most teeth may range from $20,000 to $40,000. Cases requiring dental implants with fixed bridges typically range from $30,000 to $60,000. Complex cases involving extensive bone grafting, multiple implants, and full-arch prosthetics can range from $50,000 to $90,000 or more. Many individual components of full mouth reconstruction are covered by PPO dental insurance, including crowns, bridges, and some surgical procedures. The Loft Dental Studio provides a detailed cost breakdown after your comprehensive evaluation, and we offer financing through CareCredit as well as FSA and HSA payment options.
Yes. Severe bone loss does not disqualify you from full mouth reconstruction. In fact, addressing bone loss is one of the primary reasons our tri-specialist approach is so effective. Dr. Ahn specializes in bone regeneration procedures including ridge augmentation, socket preservation, guided bone regeneration, and sinus lifts. He uses advanced techniques including PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) therapy derived from your own blood to accelerate bone healing. Once adequate bone volume is restored, dental implants can be placed to support the final prosthetics designed by Dr. Lu. Many patients who have been told elsewhere that they are not candidates for implants discover that bone grafting can make implant treatment possible.
