Cosmetic dentistry made affordable with payment plans
Are you dealing with multiple dental issues that make it uncomfortable to eat, smile, and live confidently? Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive dental treatment plan designed to rehabilitate your entire mouth — teeth, gums, and jaw function — simultaneously rather than treating each problem individually over time.
At Newport Beach Dental Center, Dr. Laura Sharbash, DDS, FAGD, D.ABDSM, combines biomimetic dentistry principles with advanced diagnostic tools to create personalized reconstruction plans. Her approach preserves as much natural tooth structure as possible while restoring proper function — so the result looks, feels, and functions like healthy natural dentition.
Achieve your dream smile with cosmetic dentistry and flexible financing that makes transformation affordable.
Full mouth reconstruction addresses both functional and aesthetic concerns simultaneously. Unlike cosmetic procedures that focus primarily on appearance, reconstruction rebuilds the actual function of your mouth — establishing proper bite alignment, structural stability, and gum health before layering in aesthetic outcomes.
A typical plan may involve several treatments working in sequence:
Reconstruction is recommended when multiple dental problems affect both the function and appearance of your smile at the same time. The most common candidates include:
Severe decay, fractures, or extensive wear from trauma, grinding (bruxism), or acid erosion often affect multiple teeth simultaneously — making treating each tooth individually impractical. The biomimetic techniques used at Newport Beach Dental Center focus on preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible while restoring function, creating restorations that mimic the natural properties of healthy teeth.
When several teeth are missing, remaining teeth begin to shift, bone loss accelerates, and bite function degrades. Full mouth reconstruction using dental implants, bridges, or a combination replaces the missing teeth while preserving bone and restoring chewing function. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, over three million Americans have dental implants — a number growing by 500,000 annually — reflecting how widely implants have become the standard for replacing missing teeth.
Temporomandibular joint disorders and improper bite alignment cause chronic pain, headaches, and accelerated tooth wear. Reconstruction addresses the root cause by realigning the bite and creating proper balance between teeth, jaw muscles, and joints — using advanced diagnostic imaging and analysis to design targeted restorations, orthodontics, or specialized appliances.
Throughout the process, temporary restorations allow you to adjust to your new bite while protecting affected teeth. These temporaries also provide a preview of your final results, allowing adjustments before permanent restorations are placed. The timeline varies by case complexity — most full mouth reconstructions span several months to over a year.
As a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD), Dr. Sharbash has completed over 500 hours of continuing education — placing her among the top 6% of general dentists in the U.S. and Canada. Her training in biomimetic dentistry means every reconstruction is designed around preserving natural tooth structure first, using restorations that bond to and support the existing tooth rather than replacing it wholesale. The result is a reconstructed mouth that functions more like your natural dentition and lasts longer because the underlying biology remains intact.
A smile makeover is primarily cosmetic — it focuses on improving appearance. Full mouth reconstruction is driven by functional need: it addresses structural damage, bite problems, missing teeth, and gum disease that affect how your mouth works. Aesthetics are part of the outcome, but function and structural health come first.
The timeline depends on the scope and complexity of treatment. Simple cases may take a few months; comprehensive reconstructions involving implants, orthodontics, and multiple restorations typically span 12–24 months. Dr. Sharbash outlines the full sequence and timeline during your consultation so you know what to expect at each phase.
Individual procedures within a reconstruction plan may have varying levels of coverage — restorative work like crowns is often covered at least partially, while purely cosmetic components typically are not. The team verifies your benefits before treatment begins and can discuss phasing and financing options to make the plan workable.
Biomimetic means the restorations are designed to mimic the physical properties of natural teeth — their strength, flexibility, and how they bond to existing structure. Rather than aggressively removing healthy tooth material, biomimetic restorations bond directly to it, preserving more of the natural tooth and producing results that tend to last longer because the underlying tooth remains intact and vital.
With proper care — regular professional cleanings, good home hygiene, and follow-up visits — full mouth reconstruction can provide decades of comfortable function. Implants in particular are designed as permanent replacements. The longevity of individual restorations depends on the materials used, oral hygiene habits, and whether issues like bruxism are managed alongside treatment.
