FULL MOUTH REHABILITATION
What is Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
​
Full mouth rehabilitation, also known as full mouth reconstruction or restoration, is an extensive and comprehensive process that involves rebuilding and restoring all the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws.
This procedure is typically recommended for individuals who have severe dental issues, such as extensive tooth decay, severe tooth wear (from bruxism or acid erosion), multiple missing teeth, chronic jaw pain or misaligned bite, or injuries to the mouth.
It involves a combination of various dental procedures, which may include crowns, bridges, veneers, dental implants, and dentures, along with treatments for the gums and jaw like orthodontics and periodontal therapy. The goal is not just to improve the aesthetic appearance of the mouth but also restore its full function, enabling proper chewing and speaking, and enhancing the person's overall oral health and quality of life.
​
The process may include addressing issues such as missing teeth, damaged or worn-out teeth, misalignments, and bite irregularities. Full-mouth rehabilitation aims to rebuild and restore the entire mouth, optimizing oral function, enhancing facial aesthetics, and improving overall well-being.
Through careful assessment, planning, and the integration of various dental techniques, full-mouth rehabilitation provides a transformative solution for individuals with complex dental concerns, offering them a renewed and revitalized oral health experience.
Due to its complexity, full mouth rehabilitation often requires a team of dental professionals and is usually performed over multiple stages and visits.

WHY Full Mouth Rehablitation?
​
Full mouth rehabilitation is necessary for individuals who have severe dental problems that affect most or all of their teeth, as well as their gums, bite, and overall oral health.
Here are some reasons why it's needed:

Severely Worn Teeth: For those with long-term teeth grinding (bruxism) or consumption of acidic foods, teeth can become severely worn down. Full mouth rehabilitation can restore their size and shape.
-
Persistent Jaw Pain or Headaches: These may be caused by a misaligned bite. Full mouth rehabilitation can correct the bite, alleviating these symptoms.
-
Trauma or Accidents: Injuries can cause extensive damage to the teeth, gums, and jaw, necessitating full mouth rehabilitation to restore the mouth's structure and function.

-
Multiple Dental Problems: Individuals with a combination of issues such as missing teeth, damaged or worn-out teeth, bite irregularities, and misalignments may require full-mouth rehabilitation. This procedure addresses various dental problems simultaneously.
