Patients with crooked teeth, unsightly dental restorations, TMD temporal mandibular joint disorder (TMD), cracking, chipping, discoloration, or ‘collapsed’ teeth, and an overall tired appearance, are candidates for full mouth restoration. Dr. Rashti has treated hundreds of patients who suffered from severe injuries in her Beverly Hills practice for the past two decades.
The full mouth restoration process includes two dental office visits. Your teeth will be prepared during the first visit, and crowns will be fitted on the second. The crowns will be permanently bonded to create a new, significantly improved smile.
The condition of your teeth and jaw will be evaluated to determine if any TMD exists. The ideal size and shape of your smile will be determined for the best clinical, functional, and cosmetic results. During your consultation, a treatment plan will be developed that is most suitable for your smile.Once the treatment has been planned, your teeth will be prepared and a custom mold is taken. Temporary crowns will be worn until the next appointment.
The cost depends on every case as several procedures may be needed to provide a full mouth reconstruction.

Thank you for your question.It is like driving a Ford Fiesta vs a Cadillac.You probably still can find the former for a several hundred bucks and it will take you from point A to point B. It might brake on the way a couple of times though.Cadillac will do it in comfort and style and you know you will be happy with it.

I'm going to assume no teeth are present.There are three main ways to fully rebuild a mouth... in order of least cost to most....$2000 to over $50,0001) upper and lower dentures, gum supported, no implants2) 2-5 implants per jaw and implant supported dentures, removable and very aesthetic3) 4-8 implants per jaw and implant retained bridges made of either acrylic, fused porcelain or Zirconia, fixed, non-removable

Without implants, if you have teeth, then crown and bridge and partial dentures is the most affordable option to fill in gaps and obtain and aesthetic result. With implants, the cost increases significantly.If you are missing ALL of your teeth, without implants, your only option is full upper and lower dentures (plates). However, with implants there are three options:Option A: Four implants per jaw to support horseshoe shaped removable dentures-COST=$15,000 per jaw so if you do top and bottom, you're looking at spending about $30,000. You will be able to chew anything and look great. However, you will need to take the dentures out to clean them daily and put them back. Option B: 5-6 implants per jaw with a FIXED acrylic denture screwed into the implants. This can only be removed by your dentist every couple years for maintenance. COST=$20,000 per jaw so if you are doing upper and lower, you are looking at $40,000 to $50,000. This is assuming you present with not teeth and don't need bone grafts. If you need bone grafts, the costs could increase by up to an additional $10,000 to $20,000 depending on how much grafting is necessary. Option C: If you are missing all your teeth, you can have each tooth replaced and receive a "Hollywood Smile". You are looking at 8 implants per jaw and FIXED porcelain crown and bridge which gives the most beautiful and natural looking results that dentistry has to offer. You are looking at $50,000 per jaw so if you are doing the entire mouth, you should be prepared to spend $100,000 or more.
