Who Is a Candidate for Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full mouth restoration is often recommended for individuals dealing with a combination of functional dental issues (and, in many cases, aesthetic concerns). This type of comprehensive treatment can be an effective solution for patients who are experiencing:
- Cracked or chipped teeth
- Broken or severely worn teeth
- Gaps or crowding in the smile
- Discoloration or staining
- Advanced tooth decay
- Poor bite alignment
- Missing teeth
- Damage caused by trauma
During your initial visit, one of our experienced prosthodontists will conduct an in-depth evaluation of your oral health, talk with you about your treatment goals, and develop a personalized plan to improve the strength of your bite.
What Are the Common Components of Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation typically consists of a combination of several reconstructive, restorative, and/or cosmetic dentistry procedures that may include:
- Porcelain Crowns: These restorations are designed to replace damaged parts of a tooth and provide renewed strength and structure. Typically, crowns are used to restore teeth that have been severely (but not entirely) compromised by injury or decay. Porcelain crowns are custom-crafted for long-lasting durability and optimal aesthetics.
- Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are made from thin layers of porcelain material and can conceal a wide variety of common imperfections. These restorations require minimal tooth preparation, can achieve beautiful results, and are most frequently used to restore teeth that are visible when patients smile.
- Dental Implants: Dental implants are an innovative solution for missing teeth that can create a full smile, while offering stability and superior aesthetics that are on par with a natural healthy tooth. A titanium post is implanted to provide the new tooth’s root. With proper healing, it eventually fuses to the jawbone to become a permanent part of the mouth. Since each dental implant is structured and functions much like a natural tooth, no extra daily hygiene or maintenance is required.
- Implant Overdentures: Implant-supported dentures are an alternative to traditional dentures that can eliminate many common denture inconveniences including adhesives, slippage, and gingival irritation. Some patients who are not good candidates for a full set of single-tooth implants due to diminished jawbone density may be able to opt for implant-supported dentures. The right strategy for you will depend on your unique needs and goals.
What Are the Steps Involved in a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is a highly personalized process, and the specific steps can differ significantly depending on the patient’s oral health condition and goals. The journey typically starts with a detailed consultation, during which a prosthodontist performs a comprehensive oral evaluation. This may include diagnostic imaging to identify underlying issues that affect the teeth, gums, jawbone, or surrounding tissues. While standard digital imaging is often sufficient, additional imaging, such as cone beam CT scans, may be recommended to obtain more detailed diagnostic information. During this phase, medical and dental histories are reviewed, aesthetic preferences are discussed, and a tailored plan is developed to address both health-related and cosmetic concerns.
The initial phase of treatment focuses on resolving any active disease or structural damage that could compromise long-term outcomes. Addressing infections, treating decay, and improving gum health are essential steps to ensure a strong foundation for the restorative and aesthetic procedures that follow. Once oral health is stabilized, the reconstructive phase begins. This may involve a range of procedures, such as bone grafting, dental implant placement, or the use of crowns, bridges, and dentures. Thanks to the in-house capabilities at Schweitzer & Schweitzer, PC – including a state-of-the-art dental laboratory and skilled ceramists – this stage can be streamlined for convenience and precision. Materials and design elements are selected based on each patient’s unique needs, lifestyle, and goals.
When the final restorations are ready, your prosthodontist will aim to ensure that everything fits comfortably and looks natural before completing your new smile. Minor refinements can often be made on the spot, thanks to direct collaboration with our in-house dental lab. Whether restorations are being bonded, secured to implants, or placed using other techniques, our team is committed to achieving a result that functions properly, looks beautiful, and supports your long-term oral health.
