Full Mouth Rehabilitation

Full mouth rehabilitation is a set of dental procedures that are aimed at correcting an improper bite position as well as restoring chipped or worn out teeth. While it may be your desire to maintain the function of your teeth and improve the look of your smile, it is the goal of cosmetic dentistry to enhance the appearance of your teeth and smile while giving them the most "natural" appearance.

Full mouth rehabilitation involves not only replacement of the lost tooth structure but also restoring the lost vertical dimensions. Improper jaw position may result in impaired chewing, worn out teeth, various neuro-muscular disorders as well as in headache and neck ache. Correcting the jaw position not only restores proper function, but also helps in enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the patient.

If you suffer from missing, chipped, severely worn or broken teeth, broken fillings, changing position or shape of the smile, ongoing pain or soreness around the jaw joints and muscles, then you can definitely benefit from full mouth rehabilitation. This procedure will give you a beautiful, natural looking smile and alleviate the cause of your problem.

Full mouth rehabilitation may involve multiple phases and office visits depending on the complexity of the case and the desired result. Full mouth rehabilitation procedure starts with a preparation appointment. Your dentist will remove all of your old restorations and any decay that has occurred. Then, impressions of the underlying healthy tooth structure will be taken and temporary teeth will be made. You will have to wear these temporary teeth until the final appointment. At the final appointment, your temporaries are removed and the final restorations are placed, creating healthy, beautiful teeth and a perfect, younger smile.

Dental bonding porcelain veneers and crowns, dental implants and teeth whitening are all a combination of procedures used in full mouth restoration and reconstruction. If you think you need full mouth restoration, see your dentist for a comprehensive examination. Your dentist can determine the extent of the problem and the treatment options that can be used to correct it and give you a totally rejuvenated mouth.
