When your smile has been worn down by years of decay, injury, or neglect, it can feel like there is no clear path forward. But the right care plan can transform not just your teeth but your quality of life, your confidence, and the way you show up every single day.
At All Smiles Dentistry in Lake Stevens, we understand that some patients come to us carrying years of compounding dental concerns. Whether it is multiple missing teeth, damaged restorations, gum disease, or a combination of issues affecting your bite and function, our team offers comprehensive restorative dentistry solutions designed to restore your mouth from the ground up. Dr. Jason Steinhubel has been caring for patients in this community for more than two decades, and together with our dedicated team, he builds custom treatment plans that meet each patient exactly where they are.
Full mouth reconstruction is not a single procedure. It is a coordinated series of treatments designed to address every aspect of your oral health at once. Rather than patching one problem at a time while others continue to deteriorate, full mouth reconstruction takes a comprehensive view of your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw to create a plan that restores both function and appearance.
Patients who are candidates for full mouth reconstruction typically present with several overlapping concerns. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, adults between the ages of 20 and 64 have an average of 25.5 remaining teeth, meaning that tooth loss is far more common than most people assume. When multiple teeth are missing or compromised, the effects ripple outward, changing the way you chew, speak, and even hold your jaw.
A full mouth reconstruction may be the right approach if you are dealing with several of the following at the same time:
Not every patient will need all of these addressed. Your treatment plan is built around your unique situation, prioritized in the order that makes the most clinical sense.
For patients with one or more missing teeth, dental implants are often the foundation of a full mouth reconstruction. Implants replace the root of the tooth, providing a stable base that supports crowns, bridges, or full-arch restorations. Our visiting periodontist, Dr. Izoh Ashour, DDS, MS, is a board-certified periodontist and implantologist trained in both Europe and the United States, bringing a depth of surgical precision that allows us to handle implant placement and periodontal care without referring patients elsewhere.
Crowns and bridges address teeth that are too damaged for a simple filling but do not need to be extracted. A crown caps the remaining tooth structure, restoring its shape, function, and appearance. A bridge uses adjacent teeth as anchors to fill a gap left by a missing tooth. These restorations are carefully matched to the color and contour of your surrounding teeth.
In many cases, decay or injury has reached the inner structure of the tooth, requiring a root canal before a restoration can be placed. Root canal therapy removes infected tissue from inside the tooth, relieves pain, and allows the tooth to be saved and capped with a crown. Dr. Jason is well known among his patients for performing this procedure with speed and precision, making an often-feared treatment far more manageable than expected.
Full mouth reconstruction requires a provider who can see the whole picture. It takes clinical expertise, thoughtful sequencing, and the kind of relationship-based care that makes a multi-appointment treatment plan feel manageable rather than overwhelming. At All Smiles Dentistry, that is exactly what we offer.
Dr. Jason has been practicing in Lake Stevens for more than two decades, building his reputation on state-of-the-art solutions delivered with genuine care for each patient. The practice uses 3D cone beam imaging, digital impressions, intraoral cameras, and microscope dentistry to plan and execute treatment with a level of precision that reduces guesswork and improves outcomes. Nitrous oxide conscious sedation is also available for patients who experience anxiety, making it easier to complete the multi-step treatment process comfortably.
Having Dr. Ashour available on-site for implant placement and periodontal treatment means that patients undergoing reconstruction do not need to travel between practices or coordinate their care across multiple providers. Everything happens in a familiar environment with a team that already knows your history.
We understand that comprehensive treatment comes with real financial questions. All Smiles Dentistry works with Delta Dental, Regents, and Primera as contracted providers, and we also accept out-of-network benefits from Cigna, Aetna, Guardian, Standard, MetLife, Principal, BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, TRICARE, and VA plans with pre-authorization. For patients who need flexible payment options, we offer Cherry financing as our primary option, along with CareCredit and in-house payment plans to make treatment accessible without delay.
Taking the first step toward a fully restored smile starts with a conversation. Dr. Jason and our team take the time to understand your full dental history, walk through your imaging together, and explain every phase of your treatment plan before anything begins. There is no pressure, no mystery, and no rushing through concerns that matter deeply to you.
If you are ready to find out whether full mouth reconstruction is the right approach for your smile, we invite you to contact our office and schedule a consultation. Lake Stevens patients have trusted All Smiles Dentistry for more than two decades, and we are here to help you take the next step with confidence.
Each restoration plan is customized for the patient, so treatment times vary greatly.
Some factors that affect the timeline are the extent of damage, the number of missing teeth, the healing time during preparation (for example, with extractions and dental implants), and the decision to complete treatment as fast as possible or in phases.
Treatments can take a few months to over a year depending on the scope of work.
Complete reconstruction is an investment in both time and money, but the results are priceless, and the procedure is well worth the cost. Many reconstructions also help prevent more serious problems down the road (like bone deterioration and shifting of remaining teeth).
Just imagine how restoring your teeth can improve your quality of life as you smile confidently, laugh out loud, speak without slurring, and bite into your favorite foods.
Prices vary depending on the extent of treatment and your insurance benefits.
Fixing a full mouth of teeth is a multi-step process personalized to each patient’s needs, goals, and budget. These steps include preparation, restoration customization, and placement – the amount of work varies for each individual.
Additionally, there are two common ways to replace a full set of teeth using fixed dentures (AKA implant-supported dentures) and removable dentures. Prices also vary depending on the system we choose together.

Yes, it’s possible to replace all of your teeth. A whole new set of teeth help you look and feel your best, and you have several different options, including dentures and dental implants.
Dentures can be fixed or removable. They’re made with artificial, life-like teeth on a base that looks like your gums. Modern dentures are more comfortable and realistic looking than in the past, and we have ways to prevent slipping or sliding while you eat/speak.
Dental implants, on the other hand, replace your tooth roots to act as a base for your restoration. Once complete, we attach the denture to the implants to secure it into place. Typically, just four implants can hold one denture arch, so four implants up top and four on the bottom secure a full denture.
Your dentist will recommend the ideal way to replace a full set of missing teeth. Please contact us directly for a consultation.
Modern technology allows us to create same-day crowns and fast restorations, but fixing a full set of teeth is a multi-step process. The time it takes to complete varies based on your preparation and the system we select.
Given this information, there are ways to replace teeth immediately after extraction using temporary dentures. However, these are only temporary placeholders until your mouth heals and your permanent denture is ready for placement.
Our goal is to create a beautiful, long-lasting, and durable restoration, so we use the highest materials to craft your tooth replacement.
Our team always listens to your concerns and gets to know you before customizing your experience to your needs. We want to ensure your comfort while bringing you the best treatments modern family dentistry has to offer.
