Full mouth rehabilitation is a complex, multidisciplinary approach to restoring the health, function, and aesthetics of the oral cavity.
Full mouth rehabilitation, also known as full mouth reconstruction, involves a comprehensive treatment plan to restore or replace all of the teeth in your upper and lower jaw. This process addresses functional issues, such as bite alignment, and aesthetic concerns, such as damaged or missing teeth.
Full mouth rehabilitation may be needed if you have multiple dental problems, such as missing teeth, severe decay, bite issues, or jaw problems. It’s a customized treatment plan designed to restore both the function and appearance of your mouth, improving overall dental health.
The length of full mouth rehabilitation varies depending on the extent of treatment needed. It may take several months to complete, as the process often involves multiple procedures, such as extractions, implants, crowns, and possibly orthodontic work. Your dentist will provide a timeline based on your specific needs.
Full mouth rehabilitation is generally done under local anesthesia, and you may receive sedation for comfort during longer procedures. After treatment, some discomfort, swelling, or bruising is common but can typically be managed with pain relievers. Your dentist will provide post-treatment care instructions to help with recovery.
The cost of full mouth rehabilitation can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the treatment, the procedures involved, and the materials used. Your dentist will provide a personalized cost estimate after evaluating your dental needs. Many dental offices offer financing options to help manage the costs.
