Services at Livewell Dental

Treatment at Livewell starts with understanding. Before recommending anything, Dr. Chris Kim evaluates your teeth, bite, gum health, and long-term goals. What you receive is a plan built around your situation, not a menu of procedures pushed in your direction.

Before Any Treatment, You Need the Right Picture

Most dental visits start with a list of what is broken. At Livewell, we start with a different question: why did it break, and what does your mouth actually need long-term? The dCOE is a structured, multi-step evaluation that looks at your health, bite, function, and aesthetics together before any treatment is recommended.

Covers health, function, and aesthetics as one connected system
You leave with a full report and a plan built around your goals

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry at Livewell is not about making teeth look generically perfect. It is about designing a smile that fits your face, your proportions, and the way you actually look when you speak and smile. Every cosmetic plan starts with dentofacial analysis and digital design before any treatment begins.

General Dentistry

Most dental problems do not announce themselves. They build quietly over months or years until something breaks down. General dentistry at Livewell is built around catching those problems early, managing risk before it becomes damage, and keeping your mouth healthy enough that more serious treatment stays off the table.

 Implant Dentistry

Implant dentistry at Livewell is planned backwards from the final result. The implant position, the restoration design, the bite, and the aesthetic outcome are all mapped before surgery begins. Dr. Chris Kim plans, places, and restores implants in-house, so nothing gets lost between providers.

Oral Surgery

Oral surgery at Livewell begins with a reason, not just a referral. Before removing, grafting, or augmenting anything, Dr. Chris Kim evaluates why the problem developed and what the site needs to heal correctly and support whatever comes next. Surgery planned around the full picture heals better and delivers more predictable long-term results.

Orthodontics

Straight teeth are easier to clean, put less stress on your jaw, and last longer. Orthodontics at Livewell is planned with your bite and long-term dental health in mind, not just the aesthetic result. Whether you choose clear aligners or traditional braces, the goal is a smile that functions as well as it looks.

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry at Livewell starts with understanding why the tooth broke down, not just what to put on it. Whether you need a single filling or a full-mouth plan rebuilt from the ground up, the approach is the same: identify the cause, choose the most conservative option that works, and build something designed to last.

How long does full mouth reconstruction take?

The timeline for full mouth reconstruction depends on the complexity of the case, the number of teeth involved, and whether preparatory procedures like bone grafting or implant placement are needed. Some cases are completed in a few months. Others with significant structural changes may take longer. Dr. Chris Kim provides a clear timeline and phased plan at your evaluation so you know what to expect before treatment begins.
