Full mouth restoration is one coordinated plan that rebuilds a smile with a lot going wrong at once: broken teeth, missing teeth, old dental work that keeps failing. Dr. Ben Areheart maps the whole mouth first, then fixes it in a sensible order, with every step and its cost in writing before anything starts.

No two plans use the same mix. Dr. Areheart pulls from these treatments, all done at our Constitution Blvd office, and sequences them so each one sets up the next.
A cracked or heavily filled tooth gets capped with a custom crown that brings back its full shape and chewing strength. Bridges close a gap by anchoring to the teeth beside it.
About crowns →A missing tooth gets replaced at the root, not just at the surface. Implant cases stay in-house here, which keeps the timing of a bigger plan under one roof.
About implants →When too few teeth are left to save, a well fitted denture or partial rebuilds the bite so you can eat and speak normally again.
About dentures →A tooth too far gone to keep comes out gently. Nothing gets pulled without a plan already in place for what replaces the space.
Smaller cavities and chipped edges get repaired with tooth-colored material. In a big plan these are usually the quick wins that come early.
Cleanings and gum care come first, because crowns and implants only last on a healthy foundation. Our hygiene team handles this stage before the rebuilding starts.
For the longer appointments, IV sedation lets you relax through several steps in a single visit. Not many general practices in Rock Hill offer it.
Restoring a whole mouth is mostly a planning problem. Get the order right and each visit builds on the last instead of undoing it.
Dr. Areheart examines every tooth, takes X-rays, and looks at how your bite fits together, not just the teeth that hurt.
You get the whole sequence in writing: what gets done, in what order, over what timeframe, and what each stage costs. Take it home and think it over. You can take the plan home and decide on your own time.
Urgent problems first, foundations second, final crowns and replacements last. Some plans wrap up in a couple of months. Plans with implants include healing time and run longer.
Rebuilding a mouth takes a dentist who can plan the whole board, not just the next move. Dr. Areheart earned his DMD from the Medical University of South Carolina in 2011, then served as a captain in the U.S. Air Force, where his advanced residency covered implant, restorative and sedation dentistry. He has practiced at Piedmont Dental since 2014.
The team around him has even deeper roots. Our chairside assistants and hygienists have been with the practice for more than twenty years. When your plan runs across months of visits, seeing the same faces each time matters.
Piedmont is a family dentist at heart. Once your restoration is finished, this is where it gets maintained.
It varies more than any other treatment we offer, because the plan itself varies. The price depends on how many teeth need work, which fixes they need (a filling, a crown, an implant, a denture), and how many stages the sequence takes.
Every number is on the written plan before you agree to anything. And because the work is staged, the cost spreads out with it. You are never paying for the whole rebuild on day one.
Often, yes. Restorative treatment like crowns, extractions and dentures is the kind of care most dental plans were built for. We file almost all insurances if your plan allows out of network providers. Our front desk will help with your specific situation.
It depends on the plan. A rebuild of a few teeth may take a handful of visits over one or two months. Plans that include implants or extractions need healing time between stages and can run six months to a year.
Each visit is numbed like any other dental appointment, and most patients are surprised how routine the individual steps feel. For longer appointments, IV sedation is available so you can relax through several procedures in one sitting.
No. The plan is staged on purpose. Urgent problems like pain and infection come first, and the rest is scheduled at a pace that works for your calendar and your budget. Many patients spread their plan across a year.
Most of it. Crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, extractions and fillings are all done at our Rock Hill office. Root canal treatment is the exception: that is done by endodontic specialists we refer to, and Dr. Areheart coordinates the referral and completes the crown afterward.
Not here. Most restoration patients arrive with that same worry, and Dr. Areheart has seen far worse than whatever you are picturing. The first visit is just an exam and a conversation.
The front desk will find you a time with Dr. Areheart and answer your insurance questions before you ever sit in the chair.
