Full mouth reconstruction in Roseville, CA rebuilds a smile that has been damaged by widespread tooth wear, advanced decay, injury, or many missing teeth. At Expert Dental Group, prosthodontist Dr. Leila Nikpour combines dental implants, crowns, porcelain veneers, and All-on-X full-arch restoration into one coordinated treatment plan — designed around your bite and planned with in-house 3D CBCT imaging so every implant and restoration fits precisely. If most of your teeth are damaged or missing and you want a permanent, natural-looking result, call (916) 888-1646. No referral is needed.
What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction (also called full mouth rehabilitation or full mouth restoration) is not a single procedure. It is a coordinated combination of restorative and prosthetic treatments that rebuilds every tooth in your upper and lower arches so your smile looks natural, your bite works correctly, and you can eat comfortably again. A typical plan may include dental implants to replace missing teeth, crowns to rebuild damaged ones, porcelain veneers to correct shape and color, and — where many teeth are missing — an All-on-X full-arch bridge supported by implants.
Full mouth reconstruction differs from a smile makeover in one important way: a smile makeover is primarily cosmetic, while full mouth reconstruction restores function as well as appearance. When your bite has collapsed from years of wear or tooth loss, correcting the bite is a medical and functional necessity, not just a cosmetic choice. That is why full mouth reconstruction cases are planned by a prosthodontist — the dental specialist whose entire residency training is devoted to restoring and replacing teeth.
Who Needs Full Mouth Reconstruction?
You may be a candidate for full mouth reconstruction if several of the following apply:
- Many missing teeth, or teeth that are broken, cracked, or severely decayed
- Significant tooth wear from grinding or clenching (bruxism), or from acid erosion
- Old crowns, bridges, or fillings that are failing and need comprehensive replacement
- Difficulty chewing, or avoiding certain foods because of your teeth
- A bite that feels “off,” collapsed, or causes jaw soreness
- Teeth lost to gum disease or injury that were never replaced
- Dentures that no longer fit and cannot be relined satisfactorily
Full mouth reconstruction is for patients whose dental problems are too widespread for one or two isolated fixes. If only one or two teeth need attention, simpler treatment is appropriate — and Dr. Nikpour will tell you honestly when that is the case. The consultation and 3D imaging appointment is where candidacy is determined; not every patient needs a full reconstruction, and you will receive a straightforward recommendation either way.
What’s Included in a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Every full mouth reconstruction plan is custom-designed, but most plans draw on some combination of the following treatments, all provided at our Roseville office:
- Dental implants to replace missing teeth with permanent, tooth-root-like anchors. Dr. Nikpour has placed more than 2,500 dental implants.
- Implant-supported crowns and bridges that rebuild individual teeth or spans of teeth on implant foundations.
- Porcelain veneers to correct the shape, length, and shade of front teeth that are worn or discolored — see our porcelain veneers in Roseville page.
- All-on-X full-arch restoration, where a full set of upper or lower teeth is fixed to four or more implants — see our All-on-4 dental implants in Roseville page.
- Full or partial dentures where removable prosthetics are the right solution, including implant-supported options — see our dentures in Roseville page.
Your plan may use all of these or only a few. What makes it a “reconstruction” is that everything is designed together — implant positions, crown shapes, veneer shades, and your bite are planned as one system, not as separate procedures done at different times by different providers.
The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process at Expert Dental Group
Step 1: Consultation and 3D CBCT Planning
Your first visit includes a comprehensive examination and a 3D CBCT scan taken in-house at our Roseville office. The scan shows bone volume, nerve and sinus positions, and the exact condition of every tooth and root — information a standard 2D X-ray cannot provide. Dr. Nikpour uses this data to design your treatment sequence, determine where implants can be placed, and preview how your final bite will function. You will leave the consultation knowing what your plan involves and how long it will take. Every case is different — book a free consultation for your personalized plan, and we’ll work with you and your insurance to get you the best price.
Step 2: Preparatory Treatment
Before restorative work begins, any active problems are addressed: teeth that cannot be saved are removed, gum health is stabilized, and healing time is allowed where needed. Because the entire case is planned up front, preparatory steps are sequenced so they never delay the overall timeline unnecessarily.
Step 3: Implant and Restorative Phase
Implants are placed according to the CBCT-guided plan, and healing time is allowed for the implants to integrate with the bone. During this phase, damaged teeth are prepared for crowns or veneers, and temporary teeth are provided so you are never without a functional, presentable smile while your permanent restorations are being crafted. Each crown, veneer, and bridge is designed to match your facial proportions and the bite plan established in Step 1.
Step 4: Final Teeth and Ongoing Care
Your permanent restorations are placed, the bite is fine-tuned, and you receive detailed home-care instructions plus a maintenance schedule. Full mouth reconstruction patients typically return for periodic check-ups so Dr. Nikpour can monitor the implants, restorations, and bite over time. With proper care and regular visits, implant-supported reconstructions are designed to serve you for decades.
How Long Does Full Mouth Reconstruction Take?
There is no single answer — it depends on how many implants are needed, whether teeth must be removed and healed first, and how your bone responds during implant integration. As a general guide, a full mouth reconstruction often takes several months from consultation to final teeth, because implant healing periods cannot be rushed. Simpler cases built mainly on crowns and veneers can move faster. What you can count on: your timeline is mapped out at the consultation before treatment begins, temporary teeth keep you comfortable and confident between phases, and appointments are scheduled efficiently at our Roseville office so the case keeps moving.
Why a Prosthodontist — Not a General Dentist — for Full Mouth Reconstruction
Prosthodontics is the ADA-recognized dental specialty devoted to restoring and replacing teeth. A prosthodontist completes dental school plus three or more additional years of residency training focused on crowns, bridges, dentures, implants, veneers, and full-arch reconstruction — including the complex bite (occlusion) analysis that full-mouth cases demand. A general dentist’s training covers a little of everything; a prosthodontist’s training is concentrated on exactly this kind of case.
Full mouth reconstruction is the defining procedure of prosthodontics. When your bite, jaw function, facial proportions, and the longevity of significant dental work all depend on the plan, specialty training is not a luxury — it is the qualification the case requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does full mouth reconstruction cost in Roseville?
Every case is different — the cost depends on how many implants are needed, how many crowns or veneers are included, and whether a full-arch All-on-X restoration is part of the plan. Your exact fee is determined after a consultation and 3D CBCT scan. Book a free consultation for your personalized plan: you’ll receive a written treatment plan before any work begins, and we’ll work with you and your insurance to get you the best price. Call (916) 888-1646 to schedule.
How long does full mouth reconstruction take from start to finish?
Most cases take several months, largely because dental implants need healing time to integrate with the bone before final teeth are placed. Cases built mainly on crowns and veneers can be completed faster. Dr. Nikpour maps out your personal timeline at the consultation, and temporary teeth keep you comfortable throughout.
Will I be without teeth during treatment?
No. Temporary teeth are part of the plan from the beginning. Whether you are waiting for implants to heal or for permanent crowns and veneers to be crafted, you will always have functional, presentable teeth between appointments.
Am I a candidate for full mouth reconstruction?
You may be a candidate if many of your teeth are missing, worn, broken, or extensively restored, or if your bite has collapsed and chewing is difficult. Candidacy is confirmed at a consultation with a 3D CBCT scan — and if your problems are limited to one or two teeth, Dr. Nikpour will recommend the simpler treatment instead.
What is the difference between full mouth reconstruction and a smile makeover?
A smile makeover is primarily cosmetic — it improves how your teeth look. Full mouth reconstruction restores how your teeth function as well as how they look: it rebuilds the bite, replaces missing teeth, and corrects the underlying structural problems. Many reconstructions include cosmetic improvements, but function comes first.
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Nikpour for full mouth reconstruction?
No. Expert Dental Group accepts full mouth reconstruction consultations directly — no referral from a general dentist is required. Call (916) 888-1646 to schedule.
Does dental insurance cover full mouth reconstruction?
Coverage varies widely. Some components — such as crowns on damaged teeth or treatment tied to injury — may receive partial coverage, while implants and veneers are often limited or excluded. Our team will review your plan benefits and give you a clear picture of expected coverage before treatment starts.
Why should a prosthodontist do my full mouth reconstruction instead of a general dentist?
Full mouth reconstruction requires coordinated expertise in implants, crowns, veneers, dentures, and bite design — the exact scope of a prosthodontist’s three-plus years of post-dental-school residency. Dr. Leila Nikpour completed her prosthodontics residency at Nova Southeastern University, an Honors MS, and a one-year implantology fellowship in France, and has placed more than 2,500 dental implants.
