Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Full Mouth Rehabilitation, also known as Full Mouth Reconstruction, is a comprehensive approach to restoring the function and aesthetics of the entire mouth. This treatment is typically recommended for individuals who have extensive dental issues that cannot be addressed with a single procedure or isolated treatments. It involves a combination of restorative, cosmetic, and sometimes orthodontic procedures tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
Components of Full Mouth Rehabilitation:
1. Initial Assessment and Planning:
- Comprehensive Examination: Includes a thorough evaluation of your oral health, which may involve X-rays, digital scans, and photographs.
- Diagnosis: Identifying issues such as extensive decay, missing teeth, gum disease, bite problems, and other dental or functional concerns.
- Treatment Planning: Developing a customized treatment plan that addresses all identified issues and meets your functional and aesthetic goals.
2. Restorative Procedures:
- Dental Implants: Used to replace missing teeth and restore function and appearance. Implants can support crowns, bridges, or dentures.
- Crowns and Bridges: Crowns cover damaged teeth, while bridges replace missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants.
- Fillings: Used to restore teeth damaged by decay or trauma.
3. Cosmetic Enhancements:
- Veneers: Thin shells of porcelain or composite resin applied to the front surfaces of teeth to improve their appearance.
- Whitening: Professional teeth whitening procedures to enhance the color of your teeth.
- Bonding: Application of a tooth-colored resin to correct imperfections such as chips, gaps, or discoloration.
4. Functional Treatments:
- Orthodontics: Braces or clear aligners to correct misaligned teeth and improve bite function.
- Occlusal Therapy: Treatment for bite issues or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders to ensure proper alignment and function.
5. Gum Treatments:
- Scaling and Root Planing: Deep cleaning procedures to treat gum disease and restore oral health.
- Gum Grafting: Surgical procedures to address gum recession and improve gum health.
6. Additional Procedures:
- Root Canals: Treatment for teeth with infected or damaged pulp.
- Dentures: Full or partial dentures to replace multiple missing teeth and restore function and appearance.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation offers a comprehensive solution for individuals with multiple or severe dental issues, aiming to restore both function and appearance to achieve a healthier, more beautiful smile.
