Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Full Mouth Rehabilitation or Full mouth reconstruction are names frequently used reciprocally to explain the process of reconstructing or concurrently replacing all the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws to maximize function and aesthetics. Full Mouth Rehabilitation typically includes common or restorative dentists (implementing methods like crowns, bridges, and veneers), and can combine dental experts like periodontists, oral specialists, orthodontists, and endodontists.
Teeth bear the consequences of tension and huge strong forces; resulting in ‘grinding away’ of the enamel. This results in “Loss of facial height” of the facial structure, giving you an ‘old, drooping’ look. Full mouth restoration problems include not only replacement of the lost tooth structure but also replacing the lost upward facial height dimensions due to a collapsed bite along with the fabulous aesthetic outcomes.
The demand for Full Mouth Rehabilitation may result from:
- Teeth that have been lost due to decay or injury.
- Teeth that have been injured or cracked.
- Teeth that have become seriously worn as a result of long-term acid decay (foods, water, acid reflux) or tooth grinding.
- Ongoing complaints of jaw, muscle and headache pain needing modifications to the bite.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation may combine any of the following Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry services:
- Dental Bridges
- Dental Crowns
- Dental Implants
- Inlays or onlays
- Porcelain veneers
- Professional grade teeth whitening
- Tooth-colored composite or traditional metal fillings
