Full Mouth Rehabilitation

WHAT IS FULL MOUTH REHABILITATION

Full Mouth Rehabilitation (FMR), also called Full Mouth Reconstruction, is a complex and comprehensive dental treatment aimed at restoring the health, function, and aesthetics of all teeth in your mouth. Unlike cosmetic-only procedures, FMR focuses on both oral health and dental aesthetics, addressing functional issues like bite problems, jaw pain, and missing teeth, while giving you a confident, natural-looking smile.

WHY FULL MOUTH REHABILITATION IS NEEDED ?

FMR is recommended for patients facing multiple dental challenges such as:

  • Severely decayed or damaged teeth due to cavities, trauma, or wear

  • Worn-down teeth caused by bruxism (teeth grinding) or acid erosion

  • Missing teeth leading to gaps, chewing difficulty, or bite imbalance

  • Misaligned bite (malocclusion) causing TMJ (jaw) pain or headaches

  • Gum disease affecting multiple teeth

  • Esthetic concerns like discoloration, chipping, or uneven teeth

Essentially, if your teeth are failing functionally, structurally, or aesthetically, FMR can rebuild them for long-term oral health.

HOW FULL MOUTH REHABILITATION WORKS

  • Full Mouth Rehabilitation is highly customized based on your dental condition, bite alignment, and aesthetic goals.

  • It begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including a clinical examination, dental history review, X-rays, 3D CBCT scans, and impressions to analyze occlusion and identify functional or structural issues.

  • A personalized treatment plan is created, combining restorative, cosmetic, and corrective procedures, with expected outcomes simulated using digital smile design or mock-ups and a timeline established.

  • Treatments may include crowns and bridges to restore damaged or missing teeth.

  • Dental implants can provide permanent replacements with stability and natural aesthetics.

  • Veneers can correct chipped, discolored, or uneven teeth.

  • Orthodontic therapy aligns teeth and improves bite efficiency.

  • Teeth whitening enhances the overall appearance of the smile.

  • Root canal therapy saves infected or damaged teeth.

  • Periodontal therapy treats underlying gum disease to ensure a strong foundation.

  • Occlusal adjustments correct bite issues and prevent wear, pain, or TMJ disorders.

  • A sequential approach is followed to maximize efficiency and safety during treatment.

  • Temporary restorations may be placed while permanent solutions are prepared.

  • Continuous monitoring ensures proper bite, comfort, and aesthetics throughout the process.

  • Post-rehabilitation care includes regular dental check-ups every six months, good oral hygiene practices, and protective devices like night guards for bruxism patients.
