Full Mouth Rehabilitation: For A Smile That Looks as Good as You Feel
Full Mouth Rehabilitation is a complete oral makeover that uses multiple treatments to enhance the appearance and function of your teeth. The goal is to improve oral health and transform the smile through restorative and cosmetic dentistry.
Who Needs Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation is for patients who have significant dental issues, such as numerous missing teeth, severe decay, chronic jaw pain (TMJ), or significant wear from grinding. It is a comprehensive process that uses multiple procedures, with the goal of restoring functionality and aesthetics for patients who require more than minimal cosmetic treatment. Patients with the following conditions are candidates for full mouth rehabilitation:
- Widespread tooth loss caused by decay or injury
- Severe tooth wear due to bruxism or acid reflux
- Advanced gum disease that has caused severe bone loss or loose teeth
- Trauma or injury from an accident
- Jaw misalignment
What Is Involved in Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Generally, full mouth rehabilitation includes a combination of restorative and cosmetic dentistry. Your dentist will decide which specific treatments will work best for you. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Each process is unique to the patient and their needs.
What Types of Procedures Are Involved?
Full mouth rehabilitation is a personalized process. Your oral and overall health, the dental issues that require treatment, and your end goal are all factors that affect which procedures will be involved in treatment. The most common procedures used are:
- Dental implants, bridges, or dentures to replace missing teeth
- Crowns or veneers to restore damaged teeth
- Gum grafting or specialized cleaning for periodontal health
- Orthodontics to correct bite alignment
Full mouth rehabilitation ensures a return to oral and overall health as well as a bright, beautiful smile.
