What is Full Mouth Rehabilitation?

Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive dental treatment that simultaneously addresses multiple oral health issues to restore your smile’s function, health, and aesthetics. This process involves a customized combination of dental procedures designed to repair damaged teeth, replace missing teeth, and correct bite issues while still keeping all your healthy teeth. Whether dealing with severe decay, worn teeth, or trauma, full mouth rehabilitation helps to provide a solution to create a healthy smile.

Why Would I Need Full Mouth Rehabilitation?

You may need full mouth rehabilitation if significant dental problems affect your ability to eat, speak, or smile. Conditions such as extensive tooth decay, severe gum disease, missing teeth, or a misaligned bite often require comprehensive care to restore oral health and functionality. Additionally, patients with worn-down teeth due to grinding, trauma, or acid erosion may benefit from this all-encompassing approach to rebuild and protect their smiles.

What is the Full Mouth Rehabilitation Process?

Full mouth rehabilitation begins with a detailed consultation and examination to assess your oral health needs and discuss your goals. Advanced diagnostic tools, such as X-rays, 3D imaging, and scans, are used to develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan may involve multiple procedures scheduled over 2 appointments to ensure a seamless, efficient and effective transformation. At every step, your dentist will prioritize your comfort and tailor the process to fit your lifestyle.

Assessment

Your full mouth rehabilitation begins with consulting your dentist. During a comprehensive exam, Dr. Adrianne Koster will make a full assessment of factors like:

  • Tooth structure: Extensive notes on specific details of your teeth will be taken including cracks, decay, shifting, wear patterns, existing dental work, and tooth length.
  • Gum tissue and bone density: Dr. Koster will assess your gum tissue and underlying bone structure and note factors like its length, amount, and any signs of disease.
  • Bite stability: If your bite causes pain or is unstable, Dr. Koster will take notes on any popping, jaw locking, or damage to your teeth when chewing.
  • Aesthetic considerations: Notes will be taken about each tooth’s size, shape, color, alignment, and how they contribute to your overall smile.

Planning

Dr. Koster will sit down with you and discuss the right treatment plan based on your needs and goals. You’ll plan your new smile based on the things you like about your current one and ensure it’s as unique as you are. Finally, you’ll discuss the specific restorative treatments recommended to achieve your smile, assess your budget, and create a step-by-step plan and timeline.
