Planned as one, built in stages.
Some patients have worn or broken teeth across the mouth, an uneven bite, or jaw pain. Treating one tooth at a time does not solve that. Dr. Atassi plans the whole mouth together: how the teeth meet, the joint, the health behind them, and only then each tooth.
Where a tooth allows it, it is rebuilt with a bonded onlay rather than a crown, so the healthy part of the tooth is kept. The visible work comes last, on a foundation that has already been settled.
The work, before and after.

Full records
Photographs, x-rays, a three-dimensional scan and an examination of the teeth, the gums, the bite and the joint. The plan is made from all of it, and you see the plan and the cost before anything is scheduled. - 02
The bite
Before any tooth is rebuilt, the bite is settled: how the teeth meet, and how the joint sits. Work built on an unsettled bite does not last. - 03
The teeth
Each tooth is rebuilt in turn. Bonded onlays where the tooth allows it, crowns where it does not, implants where a tooth is missing. Larger stages are done on days the office is closed to everyone else. - 04
The visible work
The front teeth last, shaped to your face on a foundation that is already sound. Then the same follow-up every case gets, year after year.
The larger stages are done on days the office is closed to everyone else.
One patient, the full team, and a second dentist in the room.

Questions about full-mouth rehabilitation.
Rebuilding most or all of the teeth as one planned case, usually because of wear, breakage, missing teeth or a bite that no longer works. It includes the bite and the joint, not only the teeth.
It is done in stages, in order: the bite, then the individual teeth, then the visible work. The larger stages are done on days the office is closed to other patients, with the full team in.
Months, not weeks. The bite has to settle before the teeth are rebuilt on it. Your timeline comes with your plan, and it is honest about the order.
Where the tooth allows it, a bonded onlay, which replaces the damaged part and keeps the healthy part. A crown requires the tooth to be reduced on all sides and is used only where an onlay would not hold.
That is usually the point. An uneven bite is often the reason teeth wore or broke in the first place, so it is corrected before anything is built on it.

A consultation with Dr. Atassi is a conversation about what you need, including the possibility that you need very little.
