Why plan the whole mouth at once
Teeth work as a system. A crown placed on one tooth has to fit a bite shaped by all the others, and a worn or collapsed bite can crack new work as fast as it is placed. Planning everything together lets us set the right bite height and tooth shape first, then rebuild each tooth to match. The result looks like one smile instead of years of separate repairs.
What it can include
- Dental implants or All-on-4 to replace missing teeth
- Crowns, bridges and dentures to rebuild damaged teeth
- Veneers and bonding to change shape and color
- Root canals by our in-house endodontist to save infected teeth
- Extractions, bone grafts and gum grafts
- Gum disease treatment and orthodontics when they are needed first

Is it worth it?
A reconstruction is a big decision. Patients often tell us the turning point was finally understanding the whole plan and the full cost before starting. Dr. Lemay will tell you which parts are urgent, which can wait, and where there is a less expensive way to get a good result.
