Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive dental treatment designed to restore the health, function, and aesthetics of the entire mouth. This approach is often necessary for patients with extensive dental issues affecting multiple teeth and oral structures.
Who Needs Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation is recommended for individuals who have:
- Extensive tooth loss or damage due to decay, trauma, or wear.
- Severely worn or eroded teeth from grinding (bruxism) or acid erosion.
- Multiple missing teeth.
- Chronic jaw pain, headaches, or bite issues (malocclusion).
- Severe gum disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth.
- Congenital dental defects or developmental abnormalities.

Full mouth rehabilitation is tailored to each patient’s unique needs and may include a combination of the following treatments:
