What Is Full Mouth Rehabilitation?

Full mouth rehabilitation is a customized approach to restoring oral health, functionality, and aesthetics. By combining restorative and cosmetic dentistry techniques, we address complex dental issues to rebuild damaged teeth, replace missing ones, and enhance your overall oral health.

What May Be Included in Your Treatment Plan:

Each treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs and goals, ensuring optimal results for your comfort, confidence, and oral health.

Common Reasons for Full Mouth Rehabilitation

Full mouth rehabilitation addresses a variety of dental challenges, including:

1. Mismatched Restorations

Older or mismatched crowns, bridges, or dentures can lead to bite imbalances or aesthetic concerns. Replacing them with cohesive solutions enhances both function and appearance.

2. Dental Trauma

Injuries from accidents or sports can cause significant damage to teeth and jaws. Full mouth rehabilitation repairs damaged teeth, restores oral function, and provides a natural-looking smile.

3. Gum Disease

Advanced gum disease can lead to tooth loss and bone deterioration. Full mouth rehabilitation restores missing teeth and rebuilds the jawbone to support long-term oral health.

4. Oral Cancer

Cancer and its treatments, such as surgery or radiation, can affect oral health. Rehabilitation often involves implants and prosthetics to restore function and aesthetics.

5. Birth or Developmental Defects

Congenital conditions or developmental issues can impair the structure and function of teeth and jaws. Restoring your smile improves oral health, functionality, and confidence.
