Perhaps your oral hygiene routine has lapsed, you've suffered an injury to the mouth or face, an illness has affected your oral health, or the natural aging process has taken its toll on your teeth. There are countless reasons why your oral health and the appearance of your smile might be suffering. If you have complex oral health concerns, a smile in need of a cosmetic makeover, or a combination of both restorative and cosmetic concerns, then full mouth rehabilitation might be the right course of treatment for you.
What Is Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Also known as full mouth restoration, full mouth rehabilitation is a complex, personalized course of treatment that uses a variety of restorative and cosmetic dental treatments to address several oral health and/or cosmetic concerns in a single patient to restore their oral health along with the form and function of the smile.
Who Can Benefit From Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation is ideal for patients who have multiple ongoing oral health concerns that cannot be adequately resolved with a single treatment. Complex oral health or oral injury cases that require multiple treatment steps and a strategic treatment approach benefit from comprehensive solutions offered through full mouth rehabilitation.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation Treatment Options
Full mouth rehabilitation is designed to address and resolve multiple oral health problems that are occurring simultaneously such as missing or broken teeth, dental injuries, discoloured teeth, periodontal disease, tooth decay, crooked teeth, and more. As a result, the treatment process typically involves a variety of different restorative and cosmetic treatment options to restore the patient's oral health and the form and function of their smile.
Full mouth rehabilitation includes a strategic selection of the following treatments:
- Professional dental cleaning
- Periodontal disease treatment (scaling and root planing, antibiotics, antibiotic gel trays, gingivectomy, etc.)
- Dental fillings
- Root canal therapy
- Dental crowns
- Dental bonding
- Inlays or onlays
- Tooth extraction
- Dental implants
- Dental bridges
- Dentures
- Dental veneers
- Teeth whitening
- Orthodontics (Invisalign, braces, retainers, etc.)
Depending on your individual oral health, treatment needs, and treatment goals, our dentist will work with you to determine the combination of dental treatments that will best meet all of your needs.
The Full Mouth Rehabilitation Treatment Process
Since every patient and each complex case is unique, each full mouth rehabilitation treatment process differs, too. The process, however, begins with a patient consultation and a professional dental examination. During this initial appointment, we discuss the patient's concerns and treatment goals.
We might also take a set of diagnostic images, such as digital dental X-rays and digital dental impressions, to assist with the treatment planning process. At this initial appointment, our dentist diagnoses the underlying oral health problems and provides the patient with a variety of treatment options and different courses of action. These options are designed to help a wide array of patients achieve optimal oral health and meet their smile goals while sticking to their oral healthcare budget and accommodating their individual treatment preferences.
During your consultation, we can work with you to determine the treatments needed while also setting expectations by designing the look of your optimal smile. By understanding your goals and desired treatment results, our dentist can develop a course of treatment that will address your specific concerns and help you achieve your unique smile goals.
How Long Does Full Mouth Rehabilitation Treatment Take?
The actual course of treatment and combination of treatments included in a full mouth rehabilitation varies from patient to patient. As a result, the treatment process and timeline will vary as well. The length of treatment and number of treatments necessary depend on the oral health concerns that are present and their severity.
Our dentist will discuss your personalized treatment plan with you in detail to ensure you understand what is involved with each treatment, the amount of time the entire process is expected to take, and the estimated costs of treatment.
