With the latest dental advancements and advanced techniques, achieving optimal oral health and a beautiful smile is now attainable. Full mouth rehabilitation is one such approach combining different restorative dental procedures to improve your oral health and smile. 

The aim is not solely providing patients with an aesthetic smile, but also on enhancing and strengthening your oral health, including the tissues and teeth structure. The customised full mouth rehabilitation treatment plan and procedures will be tailored to address your oral needs and concerns.

A dentist may suggest complete dental rehabilitation for individuals with severely damaged or infected teeth, gum disease, or tooth loss due to underlying issues. A full mouth rehabilitation can encompass various procedures tailored to your unique dental needs. Possible treatments include: 

• Dental crowns for restoring and protecting teeth
• Porcelain veneers for improving the appearance of multiple teeth
• Implants to replace missing teeth

Who are suitable candidates for full-mouth rehabilitation?

Individuals who are generally healthy, but are experiencing multiple missing or severely damaged teeth, are considered to be excellent candidates for full mouth rehabilitation. Patients seeking a smile makeover or experiencing issues with worn, sensitive, or ageing teeth, as well as those with missing back teeth or jaw discomfort, may also benefit from the treatment.

Commonly, complete mouth restoration includes the replacement of current dental restorations that have deteriorated with time. While the process may require multiple appointments, the results are remarkable, including improved oral health and a confident smile.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation: A Comprehensive Guide to a New Smile

Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive process with the following steps involved in the procedure:

• Step 1 – Diagnosis and Evaluation: A thorough dental exam will be conducted, assisted by state-of-the-art imaging technology. This will help evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums and detect any underlying issues that may need to be addressed.
• Step 2 – Treatment Planning: After evaluating your concerns and goals, a personalised treatment plan will be developed. The dentistry team will provide recommendations and walk you through options to ensure optimal oral health. Depending on your case, some patients may be able to achieve full mouth rehabilitation in a single appointment, while others may require multiple visits.
• Step 3 – Preparation: Certain procedures may require additional preparation, such as bone grafting for patients with insufficient jawbones to support a dental implant. The dentist will ensure you are well informed about the necessary preparations before the procedure.
• Step 4 – Procedure: The final step involves the actual procedure or procedures. Our team strives to make your experience as comfortable and pain-free as possible, and we offer local anaesthesia to enable us to perform multiple procedures in a single session.

Achieving a harmonised, functional smile is the ultimate goal of full-mouth rehabilitation. But with teeth replaced in multiple segments, achieving this requires a higher degree of precision. This is where consultation becomes crucial. The dentist will explain all procedures during the consultation and help you set realistic expectations. 

Benefits of Full Mouth Rehabilitation

1. Revive the aesthetics of your smile: A full mouth reconstruction can enhance your smile’s appearance by addressing multiple cosmetic dental concerns. While a smile makeover primarily targets cosmetic problems, a full mouth reconstruction addresses issues that also pose a significant oral health concern. 
2. Resolve functional problems: Eating can be daunting for patients grappling with significant teeth loss or damage. They often limit themselves to soft foods or avoid putting pressure on sensitive areas of their mouth. However, with a full mouth reconstruction, patients can savour their favourite foods and eat without worry. 
3. Enhance Dental Health and Appearance: Losing multiple teeth or experiencing severe damage can lead to feelings of despair, but with full mouth rehabilitation, even if every tooth is missing or irreparable, a completely restored set of teeth can be achieved. This treatment can help you confidently display a natural and healthy smile once again.
4. Combat periodontal disease: A frequently treated issue during full mouth rehabilitation, periodontal disease can be reversed with proper care. When left untreated, it can worsen into periodontitis, which can cause various problems. Long-term control of periodontal disease is a crucial component of full mouth reconstruction.

Full mouth rehabilitation is a highly customised treatment, tailor made for each patient to help achieve the most desirable smile, comfort, and teeth that last a lifetime. This treatment improves appearance, enables patients to chew better, and alleviates pain and teeth sensitivity. Achieve a functional, beautiful smile with full mouth rehabilitation.
