- Digital X-rays and photos to evaluate teeth, roots, and bone support
- Intraoral cameras to show you exactly what we see and why treatment is recommended

Am I a candidate for Full Mouth Restoration?
You may be a good candidate for Full Mouth Restoration if you have many broken or missing teeth, extensive old dentistry that keeps failing, long-standing decay, or a bite that feels “off” or causes pain. It’s also helpful if you’re tired of patchwork dentistry and want a long-term plan instead of short-term fixes. Together, we’ll review your medical history, dental concerns, and goals before recommending any treatment.
We’ll also talk openly about timing, number of visits, and how to prioritize different phases of care. Before treatment begins, you’ll receive a clear outline of recommended steps, approximate timelines, and an estimate of costs. We’ll review your insurance benefits, explore ways to phase treatment, and discuss CareCredit, Cherry, and Sunbit financing or payment options to help this investment fit comfortably into your life.

Full Mouth Restoration FAQs
- What is Full Mouth Restoration?
- Full mouth restoration is a staged treatment plan that rebuilds decayed, worn, broken, or missing teeth across both arches so the bite functions correctly again. Mint Dental Loft combines crowns, bridges, implants, and occlusal adjustment within one plan, sequencing the work so the bite is stabilized before final restorations are placed.
- Who is Full Mouth Restoration for?
- Full mouth restoration suits patients with widespread decay, extensive wear from grinding or acid erosion, multiple failing restorations, or missing teeth affecting chewing. It also applies where a collapsed bite has shortened the lower face. Mint Dental Loft determines this from a full examination, radiographs, photographs, and mounted models showing how the arches meet.
- Is Full Mouth Restoration painful?
- No. Each appointment is performed under local anesthetic, and treatment is delivered across separate visits rather than all at once. Expect soreness in the jaw muscles as the bite changes, which typically settles within a week. Mint Dental Loft offers nitrous oxide and oral sedation for longer appointments.
- How long does Full Mouth Restoration take?
- A full mouth restoration at Mint Dental Loft generally takes six to twelve months. Extractions, grafting, and implant healing account for most of that time, while the restorative phase occupies a shorter span at the end. Cases without surgery can finish in three to four months.
- Will my smile look natural?
- Yes. Mint Dental Loft designs tooth length, shape, and shade against your facial proportions and lip line rather than restoring teeth in isolation. The plan is previewed in temporary restorations you wear for a few weeks, which lets both appearance and bite be tested and adjusted before the final work is fabricated.
- How much does Full Mouth Restoration cost?
- Full mouth restoration typically ranges from $15,000 to $60,000 depending on the number of teeth needing treatment and whether implants and grafting are involved. Mint Dental Loft provides an itemized written plan showing the cost of each phase, so the total is never a single undifferentiated figure.
- Will my insurance cover Full Mouth Restoration?
- Dental plans cover the individual procedures within the plan at their usual rates, commonly about 50 percent for crowns, bridges, and dentures, but the annual maximum limits what can be claimed in one year. Mint Dental Loft frequently phases treatment across two benefit years to use two annual maximums, and offers CareCredit, Cherry, and Sunbit financing.
- Do I have to do everything at once?
- No. Full mouth restoration is designed to be phased. Mint Dental Loft treats pain, infection, and active decay first, stabilizes the bite next, and completes cosmetic refinement last, so treatment can pause between phases without leaving the mouth in an unstable state.
- What if I’m anxious about extensive dental work?
- Mint Dental Loft offers nitrous oxide and oral sedation, and can group treatment into fewer, longer visits so there are fewer appointments overall. Phasing the plan also means the first appointments are short and straightforward, which lets you build familiarity before the longer restorative visits begin.
- How do I get started with Full Mouth Restoration at Mint Dental Loft?
- Call Mint Dental Loft in Altadena at (626) 639-8618 or request an appointment online. The consultation includes a full examination, radiographs, photographs, and bite records, and produces a phased written plan with the sequence, timeline, and cost of each stage.
