Whether the result of trauma or decay (or some combination of the two), sometimes multiple elements of oral health are compromised. In cases like this, full mouth rehabilitation is required when no single procedure can set things right.
What is Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation (or a "full smile makeover") is a treatment plan comprised of cosmetic and restorative procedures tailored to the specific needs of a particular patient. Full mouth rehabilitation aims to alleviate discomfort while restoring the integrity and function of the teeth, gums, and jawbone.
Depending on specific circumstances, the combination of procedures in a full mouth reconstruction can include:
- Dental implants
- Dental crowns
- Dental bridges
- Veneers
- Orthodontics like braces or Invisalign®
- Periodontal therapy
- Root canals
- Jaw realignment to correct bite issues
When Is a Full Mouth Rehabilitation Called for?
Full mouth rehabilitation is necessary when multiple aspects of oral health deteriorate severely. This can be brought about by decay, tooth loss, gum disease, bite misalignment, or trauma. Full mouth rehabilitation leverages the benefits of corrective and restorative dental treatments to restore proper biting and chewing functions and smile aesthetics.
