Why You Might Be Here
Worn Down by the Process
You have spent years going from one patch to the next. A crown here, a filling there, an extraction that led to something else. Each fix bought a little time, but nothing has actually resolved the underlying problem. You are not looking for another temporary answer.
Emotionally Done
Your dental history is long and it keeps growing. You are tired of appointments that treat symptoms without addressing what is actually driving them. You want a provider who looks at the complete picture instead of the immediate problem.
Ready, but Need the Right Person
You know the work you need is significant. You are not in a hurry, but you want to find someone who takes complex cases seriously, plans carefully, and will be honest with you about what is involved before anything starts.
We Ask What Is Causing This Before We Discuss What to Replace
When a mouth reaches the point where full reconstruction is needed, the damage rarely happened randomly. There is usually something underneath it: a bite that has been loading the wrong teeth for years, acid exposure that has never been managed, a grinding pattern that has worn everything down. If that driving cause is not identified before treatment begins, new restorations end up under the same pressure the old ones were.
Before we talk about what gets placed or replaced, we spend time figuring out why the damage happened. That shapes the entire plan that follows.
We take a step back to look at the full system:

Because when we understand why things are breaking, we can build something that doesn’t.

Full mouth reconstruction, Done the Livewell Way
The Level Other Dentists Train Toward
(was: "Dr. Chris is a Clinical Instructor at Implant Accelerator, where he helps other dentists develop their skills in implant planning and treatment.
A smile makeover is primarily cosmetic. It focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth through treatments like veneers, whitening, or bonding. Full-mouth reconstruction is driven by health and function first. It addresses structural damage, bite problems, bone loss, failing restorations, and missing teeth. The aesthetic result is a natural outcome of getting the foundation right, not the starting point.
In many cases, yes. Dr. Kim's training at the Kois Center and his experience as a clinical instructor for Implant Accelerator means he regularly works on cases that other offices refer out or decline. Every case is different, and not every situation is treatable, but a thorough evaluation with Dr. Kim will give you an honest assessment of what is and is not possible.
It depends on the complexity of your case. Some reconstructions take a few months. More complex cases involving implants, bone grafting, and staged restorations can take a year or longer. Dr. Kim will give you a realistic timeline during your case presentation so you can plan accordingly. The provisional phase allows you to have a functional, aesthetic smile throughout the process.
The cost varies based on the number and type of procedures involved. Dr. Kim will provide a detailed, transparent breakdown of costs during your case presentation. No surprises. Many patients explore financing options to make the investment manageable. The practice will walk you through what is available.
