Full Mouth Rehabilitation

A full mouth rehabilitation refers to a combination of different dental treatments and procedures conducted over time to correct a wide variety of dental issues and rebuild healthy smiles. Defined as a restorative approach, a full mouth rehabilitation does not only intend to bring back smiles, but it also aims to improve function while strengthening oral health and tooth structure covering both upper and lower teeth.

Indications for Full Mouth Rehabilitation:

  • Certain dental conditions which are untreated or treated improperly.
  • Congenital abnormalities affecting enamel formation.
  • Excessive tooth wear, prolonged tooth abrasion or tooth erosion when the teeth start to lose enamel.
  • Extended poor dental hygiene presenting with multiple affected teeth.
  • Teeth grinding at night (sleep bruxism) causing pain or discomfort in the mouth, jaw and facial muscle.
