When a cracked molar, a worn-down front tooth, and a jaw that clicks every morning all show up at once, fixing one problem at a time can start to feel like a losing game. Full mouth restoration is a planned, step-by-step approach that rebuilds how your teeth, gums, and bite work together, and you may be a candidate if worn, damaged, or missing teeth are affecting how you eat, speak, or smile.
At Kabani Dental in Marietta, Dr. Shaila Kabani guides patients through full mouth restoration with close attention to the bite and the jaw joints, backed by advanced training through the Pankey Institute. We begin with a pre-clinical interview to learn about your health and goals, so your plan is built around you.
Health and Lifestyle Factors That Shape Candidacy
Your teeth are only part of the picture. Full mouth restoration relies on a healthy foundation, so we look closely at your gums, your general health, and the habits that affect how well your mouth heals. Smokers have twice the risk of gum disease compared with nonsmokers, and high blood sugar can raise that risk for people with diabetes, according to CDC pages on smoking and gum disease and diabetes and oral health. A factor like this does not automatically rule you out. It simply helps us decide what may need attention first and how to sequence your care. During your consultation, we may talk through questions such as these.
- Gum health: are your gums stable, or do they need care before restorations begin?
- Medical history: do any conditions or medications affect how your body heals?
- Daily habits: do tobacco use, clenching, or grinding place extra stress on new work?
- Home care: are you ready to commit to brushing, flossing, and regular checkups?
- Your goals: what would you like to chew, say, and show again with confidence?
Because every answer is different, candidacy is rarely settled by a single glance at an X-ray. Some patients may start with gum care, better home routines, or help managing a medical condition, and then move forward once their mouth is ready. If clenching or grinding came up in your answers, our guide to TMJ splint therapy explains a non-surgical option for jaw pain that we may discuss with you.
How to Prepare for Your Consultation
A little preparation helps your first visit go further. Bring a list of your medications, any recent medical changes, and records from past dental work if you have them. It also helps to jot down when your jaw clicks, which teeth feel sensitive, and which foods you avoid, since small details often point us to the cause. Writing things down also keeps your questions from slipping away once you are in the chair.
We also encourage you to bring photos of smiles you like and a list of questions about timing, comfort, and cost. Our team will walk you through a thorough dental exam and answer those questions, and digital smile design may help you preview how your results could look before treatment begins. If you would like background first, our overview of what full mouth restoration involves and our guide to full mouth reconstruction for complex cases explain how treatment is planned.
What Your Treatment Visits Feel Like
Treatment visits are easier when the room feels relaxed. Our treatment rooms include TVs with Netflix and noise-canceling headphones, so you can watch something you enjoy while we work. We also offer nitrous oxide for patients who want extra help staying comfortable.
Our environment is happy and fun, and we prioritize long-term relationships with a family style approach to care. We team up with you at every step, check in along the way, and welcome your questions as they come up. We also invest in technology to make care easier and faster for you.
