Full mouth rehabilitation

Full mouth rehabilitation (also known as full mouth reconstruction or restoration) in dentistry refers to the comprehensive process of restoring or rebuilding all, or the majority, of a patient’s teeth in both the upper and lower jaws.

Components of Full Mouth Rehabilitation:

Full mouth rehabilitation involves a combination of various dental procedures customized for each patient, including:

  1. Restorative Procedures such as Crowns, Bridges, Dental Implants, Dentures, and
    Fillings.
  2. Periodontal Treatments such as Scaling and root planing, or even surgery, to treat
    periodontal disease and promote healthy gum tissue.
  3. Endodontic Therapy such as Root Canal Treatment (RCT) to save infected or
    damaged teeth by removing the inner pulp.

Benefits:

  • Restores full functionality for chewing, speaking, and normal jaw movement.
  • Improves the aesthetic appearance of the teeth and smile.
  • Alleviates pain or discomfort from decayed teeth.
  • Enhances oral health by treating decay, infection, or periodontal disease.

Process:

  1. Consultation and Diagnosis: Comprehensive examination, X-rays, and possibly 3D
    scans to assess the condition of teeth, gums, and bite.
  2. Treatment Planning: A detailed, customized treatment plan based on the patient’s
    specific needs, which may involve multiple specialties.
  3. Treatment Execution: The plan is carried out over multiple appointments, with
    varying timelines based on the complexity of the case.
  4. Follow-up and Maintenance: Regular follow-up visits to monitor progress and ensure
    long-term success.

Full mouth rehabilitation is often a multidisciplinary effort, involving general dentists, prosthodontists, periodontists, endodontists, and oral surgeons, working together to achieve optimal results.
