Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Full Mouth Reconstruction/Rehabilitation is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment designed to restore function, aesthetics and general health of the oral cavity and its surrounding musculature. The teeth, gums, bone, jaw and surrounding chewing muscles are all involved in a physiological manner to restore health and function, keeping the needs of the patient in mind.
The treatment plan could include a combination of the following:
- Orthodontics
- Surgical treatments involving Implants and Extractions
- Gum treatments
- Root Canals
- Prosthetic Restorations: Veneers, Inlays/Onlays, Traditional Crowns, Bridges and Implant restorations.
When would a patient need an FMR?
There could be a combination of any of the following reasons:
- Severely worn-down teeth with a collapsed bite.
- Difficulty chewing due to multiple missing teeth.
- Gum infection along with worn-out or broken teeth.
- Multiple decayed/eroded teeth with severe sensitivity – this may involve Root Canals before the restorative phase.
- Misalignment of teeth leading to jaw dysfunction along with problems with the bite. This may need Orthodontics, followed by restorative treatment with Crowns, Inlays/Onlays, Bridges and/or Implants.
- In case of complete loss of teeth. This will involve placing Implants for fixed prosthesis or Dentures for a removable option.
Patient FAQs
Will I be able to eat properly again?
Depending on the extent of dental work involved, in a few weeks or at most a couple of months; once the bite and the surrounding supporting structures have adjusted; full function chewing is possible.
Is there a way to see my smile before starting the treatment?
Yes, a digital evaluation, along with detailed digital planning, is done before the treatment begins.
Is it painful?
Most work is done under local anaesthesia, eliminating the pain component.
Is it difficult to maintain?
Regular brushing and flossing and oral hygiene maintenance is required, along with twice a year check-ups to help maintain optimal health.
