Full mouth rehabilitation involves the replacement of one or all missing teeth, and the restoration of affected teeth to provide optimum function and esthetics to the patient.
This procedure is called ‘Full-Mouth’ because it is an extensive rehabilitation of teeth and associated structures and may involve replacement/restoration of all the teeth in your mouth with crowns and bridges or implant-supported teeth.
Reasons for Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Several reasons may necessitate full mouth rehabilitation, including:
Multiple missing teeth: Losing several teeth can affect your smile, speech, and chewing abilities. Full mouth rehabilitation can replace missing teeth with dental implants, bridges, or dentures, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Worn, chipped, or cracked teeth: Teeth may wear down over time due to age, grinding, or clenching. Full mouth rehabilitation can restore the damaged teeth with dental crowns, veneers, or bonding.
Bite problems: Bite problems may result from misaligned teeth, missing teeth, or jaw issues. Full mouth rehabilitation can correct bite issues with orthodontic treatment, dental crowns, bridges, TMJ issues, etc.
Severe decay: Severe tooth decay can affect the overall oral health and lead to tooth loss. Full mouth rehabilitation can restore the teeth affected by decay with fillings, crowns, or root canal treatment.
Procedures Involved in Full Mouth Rehabilitation
The specific procedures involved in full-mouth rehabilitation depend on the individual needs of each patient. However, the following are some common procedures that may be involved:
Dental Implants:
Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth. They are surgically placed into the jawbone and serve as artificial tooth roots. Once the implants fuse with the bone, they can support dental crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Dental crowns:
Dental crowns are used to restore damaged teeth. They are custom-made to match the shape and color of the natural teeth and are placed over the damaged teeth to protect them from further damage.
Fixed / Removable Dentures:
Dentures are fixed or removable appliances used to replace missing teeth. They are custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth and can be full or partial.
