Full Mouth Rehabilitation

Full mouth rehabilitation rebuilds the entire dentition when teeth have been extensively worn, decayed, fractured or lost. It combines several disciplines — implants, crowns, bridges, prosthetics and sometimes surgery — into one sequenced treatment plan.

When it is needed

Severe tooth wear from grinding, multiple missing teeth, long-standing bite problems, extensive decay across both jaws, or the aftermath of trauma. Patients often notice difficulty chewing, jaw discomfort, or a collapsed facial profile as teeth shorten over time.

How treatment is planned

Planning begins with digital X-rays, bite analysis and a full assessment of the jaw joints. The sequence, timeline and cost are mapped out before treatment starts, so you know exactly what is involved from the outset.

You may need this if

Teeth worn short, flat or chipped across the whole mouth
Several missing teeth and difficulty chewing properly
A bite that feels wrong, or jaw and facial aching
Old crowns and bridges failing at the same time

What treatment involves

1

Full diagnostic workup

X-rays, photographs, bite records and study models. The jaw joints are assessed, because rebuilding onto an unstable joint fails.

2

Planning the bite

The correct tooth height and jaw relationship are established first, then tested with temporary restorations so you can live with it before it is made permanent.

3

Staged treatment

Extractions, implants, root canals and gum treatment are sequenced in the right order, quadrant by quadrant.

4

Final restorations

Crowns, bridges or implant prosthetics are fitted once the foundation is sound and the bite has been proven comfortable.

Why it is worth doing

Restores proper chewing Rebuild a bite that has collapsed through wear, decay or missing teeth.

Supports facial structure Correct tooth height restores the facial proportions lost as teeth shorten.

Relieves jaw strain An even bite reduces the load that causes jaw joint pain and headaches.

One coordinated plan Implants, crowns and prosthetics sequenced together instead of piecemeal treatment.
