What does full mouth rehabilitation involve
Full mouth rehabilitation involves the reconstruction of the entire mouth to improve upon smile, bite, jaw joint health, speech and facial support. In cases where the entire set of teeth are compromised through wearing, decay, diseases and other oral conditions. This is achieved by restoring and/or replacing all of the patients teeth. The highly specialised combination of functional and aesthetic dentistry considers the importance of how the health, appearance and purpose of the teeth, gums and jaw work together to maintain the good oral health that is crucial in sustaining a comfortable life. As the name suggests, because of the extensive amount of work that is required to preform a full mouth rehabilitation, the treatment and procedure schedule is lengthy and will happen over the course of many appointments to reach final completion. It requires dedication and commitment to keep your oral health on track.
What type of procedures are involved in full mouth rehabilitation
The specific procedures needed to complete a full mouth rehabilitation vary largely from patient to patient and are dependant upon the functionality needs and visual expectations of the patient. The end goal is the combine the silence behind the utilitarian purpose of the teeth and jaw with the beauty that is a balanced and bright smile.
While there is no set formula of required dental procedures, before long term – permanent restorative treatments can begin there is often a need for immediate, provisional restorations to protect restorable teeth from further damage. These procedures may include:
- Digital images hint for analysis and reconstruction.

- Cavity treatment
- Periodontics (gum and other supporting structures around the teeth)
- Orthodontics and other oral surgeries.
