In my profession, I work with children and adults. I teach them how to speak. We do a lot of oral motor work, often in front of a mirror, especially with the little children. Looking and speaking in the mirror all the time, I became very aware of my teeth and how important the appearance of my mouth is.
I was really not happy with the way I looked at all. When I decided to have my teeth fixed, my son said, “Mom you have to go to this office; they’re amazing!” He had his teeth whitened there and loved it. I took his advice, met everybody, and absolutely fell in love with the office.
I had a lot of work to be done, a lot of reconstruction. My bite was all off, I had to have teeth removed, and my mouth was reconstructed with crowns and veneers. There were even a couple of five-hour sessions! But everyone was amazing and so supportive.
They did a lot of hand-holding and answered every question I had. Even with those long sessions, there was absolutely no pain. I would consider him a healer of the mouth. He has been an angel in my life, he really has. I appreciate him and his office and everything he has done for me.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation in Pomona, NY
We understand that patients with damaged, decayed, and totaled smiles often lack the assurance they need to smile confidently. Our Pomona dentist office offers comprehensive, personalized solutions for patients seeking full mouth reconstruction.
Full mouth reconstruction is for patients with multiple dental problems. This may include missing teeth, worn-down teeth from grinding, or broken dental work. The goal is to fix all these issues at once, focusing on how your smile looks and functions.
A full mouth reconstruction is a treatment that repairs most or all of your teeth at once. When you visit our office, we will evaluate the condition of the teeth, gums, and overall oral structure. We begin by taking all necessary x-rays and scans. This helps us design a reconstruction plan just for you.
We will discuss your dental concerns and work with you to build a plan that is right for your dental health, budget, and lifestyle. During your treatment, we make every effort to keep patients informed, comfortable, and relaxed.
After your evaluation, we may recommend dental crowns, fillings, inlays, or onlays to restore your smile. For patients with lost teeth, we may suggest dental implants, dentures, partials, or a dental bridge. Custom orthodontics and oral appliances can also help restore full function to your teeth. With high-quality, comprehensive dental care, we aim to restore complete function, beauty, and health to your smile.
Dr. Tang has undergone advanced training in full mouth rehabilitation with a focus on implant dentistry. She, alongside Dr. Auster, can work with you to build a solution specifically for your needs. Visit our office for a consultation today.
Repair Damaged Teeth
Tooth damage may be the result of trauma, infection, disease, or a bite disorder. Identifying the underlying cause of your tooth damage can help us create a more comprehensive treatment plan. If you have noticed excessive wear, chips, cracks, or fractures on your teeth, it is crucial to undergo a full dental exam. During the dental exam, we can identify the root cause of your damage and build your personalized treatment plan.
We may recommend one or more of the following treatments to repair your smile.
Restorative Dentistry FAQs
Considering restorative dentistry to repair or replace damaged teeth? You likely have some questions. To help you make informed decisions, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about restorative dentistry below.
What is restorative dentistry, and how is it different from general dentistry?
Restorative dentistry replaces missing teeth and fixes damaged teeth. This dental specialty focuses on bringing back the function and look of your smile. Dr. Auster uses treatments like dental implants, crowns, and bridges.
General dentistry, on the other hand, focuses on keeping your teeth healthy and finding problems early. General dental care includes regular checkups, cleanings, and simple treatments.
What can I do about my missing teeth?
If you are missing teeth, Dr. Auster offers many solutions to bring back your smile. You can choose dental implants, which are like replacement roots with artificial teeth attached to them. Or you can receive a dental bridge, with artificial teeth held in place by your natural teeth on either side.
Dentures are also an option, especially if you have many missing teeth. You can take them out and insert them again easily. Dr. Auster will examine your mouth and help you make the best decision based on your needs and budget.
Can a restorative dentist repair a broken tooth?
Yes, Dr. Auster can use restorative dentistry to restore a broken tooth. The treatment he will use depends on how severe the break is. He might use a special tooth-colored material for slight chips to fill in the space.
Dr. Auster may put a crown on the tooth if the break is severe to protect it. If the damage is severe, you may need a root canal first or even have the tooth extracted.
Can restorative dentistry help my TMJ disorder?
Yes, restorative dentistry can help with a TMJ disorder. Dr. Auster may also provide you with a custom-made splint or nightguard to reduce tension on the jaw and protect teeth from grinding.
He may also align your bite by reshaping teeth or by utilizing dental crowns to better align them. In severe cases, you may need Invisalign or other restorative procedures to realign misalignment. These treatments relieve pain, restore normal jaw function, and prevent future damage. The goal is to help you feel better, for good.
Will my new dental restoration look natural?
Yes, dental restorations today are natural-looking, so they will match the rest of your smile. We will use materials that are the same color as your real teeth so that no one will be able to tell the difference. If it is a denture, dental crown, or bridge, we will ensure that it fits properly and matches your smile.
Will my dental insurance cover my new dental restorations?
It depends on your dental insurance policy. Most policies cover at least part of the cost of standard restorations like fillings. They might cover a portion of more invasive work, like dental crowns or bridges, but not necessarily. Some policies have waiting periods or yearly limitations.
Please check with your insurer before your procedure. They can tell you what it covers and how much you’ll need to pay. Our welcoming dental staff can also help you figure out the costs and coverage.
