FULL MOUTH REHABILITATION
Full mouth rehabilitation means the process of rebuilding or simultaneously restoring all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws.
- Full mouth reconstruction, typically involves general or restorative dentists,and can incorporate dental specialists like periodontists (specializing in the gums, oral surgeons, orthodontists (specializing in tooth movements and positions) and endodontists (specializing in the tooth pulp).
The Need For Full Mouth Reconstruction May Result From:
- Teeth that have been lost due to decay or trauma.
- Teeth that have been injured or fractured.
- Teeth that have become severely worn as a result of long-term acid erosion (foods, beverages, acid reflux) or tooth grinding.
- Ongoing complaints of jaw, muscle and headache pain requiring adjustments to the bite (occlusion).
The following procedures may be involved, depending on your needs:
- Prophylactic teeth cleaning and periodontal care.
- Lengthening to expose healthy, sound tooth structure for possible crowns or bridges
- Contouring of the gum tissue to create balance and harmony in the smile.
- Preparation (reduction) of natural tooth structure so crowns, bridges or veneers can be placed.
- Placement of permanent restorations, such as crowns, veneers, inlays/onlays or bridges, made from ceramic, ceramic supported by metal or a combination of both.
- Orthodontics (braces) in order to move teeth into the optimal position for reconstruction.
- Implant placement and restoration to replace missing teeth and/or anchor bridge restorations.
- Bone or soft tissue grafting to enhance the stability of teeth, proposed implants and/or other restorations.
