Full-Mouth Rehabilitation

WHAT IS FULL-MOUTH REHABILITATION?

Full-mouth rehabilitation can enhance the health, aesthetics, and functionality of your teeth, gums, and jawbone, making chewing and speaking easier while also creating a more appealing smile. At Cedar House Family Dentistry, our full-mouth restoration services may encompass a variety of treatments, including onlays, inlays, crowns, bridges, veneers, implants, and dentures. In some cases, procedures may also involve bone or gum grafting. Our skilled dentist, Dr. Anita Jhangiani, provides full-mouth rehabilitation to revitalize the health and appearance of your teeth and jaws.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR FULL-MOUTH REHABILITATION?

Full-mouth rehabilitation may be necessary in various situations. One common reason is the loss of multiple teeth or having several teeth with large fillings that need to be replaced. You might also have teeth that are severely decayed, broken, cracked, or worn down due to bruxism (chronic teeth grinding). This comprehensive set of procedures may also be essential if you have dental issues or genetic disorders like ectodermal dysplasia (absence of tooth development), amelogenesis imperfecta (unusually small teeth), or dentinogenetic imperfecta (translucent or discolored teeth). Additionally, you might wish to replace old crowns or enhance your oral health and comfort. In more complicated cases, the deterioration of your gums and teeth could lead to sunken cheeks or other noticeable facial changes. A full-mouth rehabilitation at Cedar House Family Dentistry can revitalize your entire facial appearance by ensuring the right number of teeth are present.

HOW DOES FULL-MOUTH REHABILITATION WORK?

Following a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and jawbone, your dentist will determine if you are a suitable candidate for full-mouth reconstruction. A personalized treatment plan will be developed based on the condition of your teeth, gum tissue, jaw joints, facial muscles, and bite alignment. Your dentist will discuss the various therapy and sedation options available to ensure that your treatment plan aligns with your specific needs and goals. Typically, full-mouth rehabilitation will involve multiple visits to our dental office, with the entire process taking a year or more. Once your full-mouth reconstruction is complete, it's essential to maintain your oral health through regular flossing and brushing at home, along with annual dental exams and biannual cleanings.
