Our teeth are doing a lot of work for us every day of our lives. Neglect, incorrect bite patterns or a combination of these can induce further wear and tear of our teeth. This may Manifest as
- Difficulty in chewing
- Teeth start to look shorter
- Pain in the jaws
- Chipping of teeth
- Sensitivity in the teeth
- Shortened Face height
- Darkening of teeth
- Headache, Back and neck pain

As the name suggests, a Full mouth Rehabilitation is complete reconstruction of the teeth which usually involves rebuilding or restoring some or all the teeth so that the incorrect bite patterns are corrected and further progression and damage to the teeth is prevented by placing a cover (Dental Crown) over the damaged teeth.
