Full Mouth Reconstruction in Sun Valley, CA
A phased rebuild with every key visit a short trip from Sun Valley.
The short answer
Full mouth reconstruction in Sun Valley can combine bonding, onlays, crowns, veneers and implants, depending on what each tooth needs. Sun Valley patients head southwest to Los Angeles for it. Dr. Farahnik places implants himself, with a periodontist and oral surgeons on our in-house team, and the written fee follows your exam.

Full Mouth Reconstruction
What should you ask first about full mouth reconstruction in Sun Valley?
Start with what bothers you most: chewing, appearance, breakage or a missing tooth. That shapes where the plan begins and what it needs to achieve.
Then ask practical questions. Which teeth need work, and which can be left alone? What happens first? How will you eat and look during treatment? Dr. Farahnik answers those at the exam, and the written plan you take home puts the answers on paper.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Who is a good candidate for a full-mouth rebuild?
Adults whose teeth are worn, broken or missing across both arches are the usual candidates, provided they're healthy enough for routine dental treatment and ready for a phased plan.
Readiness matters as much as the teeth. A reconstruction asks for a series of visits, some healing time and steady home care afterward. Patients who go in knowing that tend to find the process far easier than those expecting a single appointment.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
What happens before any tooth is prepared?
Dr. Farahnik gathers records and designs the bite first. He studies how your jaws close, how the teeth guide each other when you slide side to side, and where wear shows heavy forces.
The records he uses
Expect a thorough exam, imaging of roots and bone, photographs and impressions or scans of both arches. From those he builds a design for how the finished teeth should meet. That design guides every later step, so it gets more time than any other part of the plan.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Can you combine visits to save time?
Sometimes. Where it's safe, Dr. Farahnik groups steps, such as a cleaning with a check of your temporaries, so you come in less often.
Healing can't be rushed, so some steps must wait. When you call (818) 658-9285 to book, say you'd like to combine visits where possible, and we'll look at the plan with that in mind. For patients in Sun Valley, short separate visits are also an easy option.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
What are the trade-offs when implants are part of the plan?
Implants add surgical steps and healing time, and they need healthy bone. In return, they can replace missing teeth without relying on neighboring teeth for support.
Some patients choose bridges or a removable partial instead, which avoid surgery but have their own limits. Dr. Farahnik compares the options for each gap, so you can weigh comfort, time and upkeep for yourself.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
How do you care for the implant parts of your plan?
Clean around implant crowns as carefully as natural teeth. The gums and bone around implants can become inflamed if plaque builds up.
The team may suggest interdental brushes or a water flosser for those areas. Implant checks are part of your regular visits, so mention any bleeding, tenderness or looseness when you notice it.
