Who full-mouth rehabilitation is for
- Patients with significant generalized tooth wear (grinding, acid erosion)
- Patients with old, mismatched, or failing dental work across multiple teeth
- Patients with chronic bite/jaw discomfort (TMJ symptoms)
- Patients with severely shortened or chipped teeth from decades of wear
- Patients with multiple missing teeth and existing failing restorations
- Patients who want one coordinated, long-term reconstruction rather than reactive repair
Why we plan the bite first
Most full-mouth cases fail (eventually) when teeth are rebuilt one at a time without thinking about how the whole bite functions together. The teeth crack, the new crowns wear, the same problems recur. The LVI approach — which Dr. Desai brings to every full-mouth case — is to start with neuromuscular analysis of how your jaw, muscles, and joints want to function, then to design every new tooth around that ideal bite. The result lasts longer because the underlying forces are right.
How a full-mouth case unfolds at Dublin Ranch Dental
- Initial consultation. An unhurried conversation about what bothers you and what you want to be true of your mouth in ten years.
- Comprehensive records. Full-mouth digital X-rays, CBCT 3D imaging when warranted, iTero scan, intraoral photographs, neuromuscular bite analysis.
- Digital and wax-up planning. Dr. Desai designs the proposed outcome digitally and as a physical wax-up before any irreversible work.
- Preview. A temporary “mock-up” placed directly over your existing teeth so you can experience the proposed bite and shape before committing.
- Phased treatment. Most cases are completed over a few months. Phasing is flexible — we’ll structure it around your calendar, your insurance year, and your finances.
- Final restorations. A combination of CEREC same-day crowns, lab-fabricated ceramic crowns or veneers, and bridges as needed.
- Equilibration & long-term care. Bite adjustments after delivery, retainer or night guard where appropriate, and a careful ongoing maintenance schedule.
About investment & financing
Full-mouth rehabilitation is meaningful, considered work; the cost reflects that. What we will commit to up front: every full-mouth case is planned and priced individually with a written, itemized plan; pacing is flexible — most patients phase the work over months or even across calendar years to align with insurance and finances; financing options include CareCredit, Sunbit, in-house monthly arrangements, and HSA/FSA. We are genuinely flexible. The honest place to start is a complimentary consultation: there is no obligation, and the conversation alone is worth your time.
