Full Mouth Rehabilitation

What is Full Mouth Rehabilitation?

Do you feel your teeth are wearing down, getting shorter, or more sensitive? Are you experiencing jaw pain, difficulty eating, or a lack of confidence in your smile? If so, you may need Full Mouth Rehabilitation—a comprehensive dental treatment aimed at restoring your oral health, function, and aesthetics.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation involves a personalized treatment plan to address multiple dental issues, including:

Missing teeth
Worn-down teeth
Bite misalignment
Jaw joint discomfort (TMJ disorders)
Gum disease and other oral health concerns

Signs You May Need Full Mouth Rehabilitation

Over time, dental issues worsen and can lead to serious problems affecting your facial structure, speech, and overall well-being. Here are some signs that indicate you may be a candidate:

Severe tooth wear from grinding, acid reflux, or misalignment
Persistent jaw pain, headaches, and neck pain
Difficulty chewing hard or chewy foods
Exaggerated facial wrinkles due to missing teeth
Loose, missing, or severely damaged teeth

Causes of Tooth Wear and Damage

Tooth damage can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

Teeth grinding (Bruxism) – Excessive grinding leads to worn-down teeth and jaw pain.
Bad bite alignment (Malocclusion) – Misaligned teeth put uneven pressure on your jaw and can cause discomfort.
Acid reflux – Stomach acids erode tooth enamel over time.
Poor dental hygiene and untreated cavities – These can lead to decay, infections, and tooth loss.

The Process

Step 1: Comprehensive Examination

A detailed dental evaluation includes:

X-rays and 3D imaging to assess bone and tooth structure
Digital scans and impressions for accurate bite analysis
Evaluation of jaw joints (TMJ) and facial structure

Step 2: Treatment Planning

A customized treatment plan will be developed based on your oral health needs. Common procedures involved in Full Mouth Rehabilitation include:

Dental Implants: Replace missing teeth with long-lasting, natural-looking artificial teeth.
Dental Crowns and Bridges: Restore damaged or missing teeth for improved function and appearance.
Orthodontic Treatment: Align teeth for better bite and jaw function.
Gum Disease Treatment: Ensure a healthy foundation for restorations.
TMJ Therapy: Address jaw pain and dysfunction for optimal comfort.

Step 3: Mock-Up Trial & Patient Approval

Before proceeding with the final restorations, a mock-up trial is created. This allows you to visualize the expected results and provide feedback before starting the actual procedures.

Step 4: Treatment Execution

The procedures will be performed in phases to ensure optimal results. Throughout the process, your dentist will monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments.
