Full mouth reconstruction Downtown Los Angeles. Dr. Kevin Chin at City of Angels Dentistry provides comprehensive reconstruction planning for patients with complex dental needs involving both oral health and bite restoration.
Patients who need full mouth reconstruction have usually been dealing with a deteriorating bite situation for years — often masked by adaptation until the symptoms become hard to ignore. Dr. Kevin Chin has been managing complex restorative cases in Downtown Los Angeles since 2018, and his approach to reconstruction always starts with the same question: what is the correct bite for this patient, and how do we build to it? Getting that foundation right is what makes the reconstruction last.
Dr. Chin performs a full exam, complete X-rays, and a detailed bite analysis. The correct bite position is determined before any treatment is planned.
A phased treatment plan is developed that establishes the correct bite relationship and rebuilds all affected teeth within it. Timeline and cost are clearly outlined.
Treatment progresses in the correct clinical sequence — establishing bite position first, then completing restorations phase by phase. Dr. Chin oversees the full process.
Full mouth reconstruction at City of Angels Dentistry addresses both the bite and the teeth — re-establishing correct jaw function, then rebuilding teeth within that framework using crowns, implants, and other restorations. Same-week consultations available in Downtown LA.
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive restorative process that rebuilds all or most of the teeth in both arches, typically in patients with extensive damage, significant tooth loss, severe wear, or bite problems that affect the entire dental system. At City of Angels Dentistry in Downtown LA, Dr. Kevin Chin creates individualized reconstruction plans that address bite function alongside tooth restoration.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but full mouth reconstruction typically implies a more complex case where the bite needs to be re-established as part of the treatment — not just individual teeth restored. Reconstruction involves analyzing and rebuilding the bite relationship, then completing all restorations within that framework. Rehabilitation may involve multiple restorations without changing the bite position.
Common causes include severe tooth wear from bruxism or acid erosion, extensive decay across multiple teeth, multiple tooth loss from trauma or neglect, failed prior restorations across most teeth, and congenital conditions affecting tooth development. The result in each case is a dental system that can no longer function properly without comprehensive rebuilding.
Individual procedures within the reconstruction plan are performed under local anesthesia. Some post-procedure soreness is normal. Most patients find that the process is more manageable than they expected, particularly when it's phased appropriately.
City of Angels Dentistry is at 1127 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 1100 in Downtown LA — accessible from the Financial District, Bunker Hill, the Arts District, Koreatown, Echo Park, and Silver Lake.
Timeline varies significantly by complexity. Cases involving implants and bone grafting can take 18–24 months. Cases primarily involving crowns and restorations may be completed in 3–6 months. Dr. Chin provides a detailed timeline at the consultation.
Cost depends entirely on which treatments are included and how many teeth are involved. Dr. Chin provides a complete cost breakdown at the consultation. Phased payment and financing options are available.
Patients with existing dentures who want to transition to implant-supported restorations may be candidates for a reconstruction plan. Dr. Chin assesses bone volume, gum health, and overall health to determine the appropriate approach.
If your dental issues involve multiple failing or missing teeth, a shifted bite, or extensive wear across most of your teeth, a reconstruction consultation is appropriate. Dr. Chin will assess the full picture and recommend whether a comprehensive plan or targeted restorations are the right approach.
