What is Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation is a complex topic that refers to restoring or replacing all of the teeth. Depending on your current cosmetic and oral health issues, as well as your goals for treatment, many different procedures could be involved. Full mouth rehabilitation is generally performed when teeth have been subjected to severe trauma or decay, have become badly worn, or are out of alignment to the point of causing pain. Full mouth rehabilitation could take as long as 12 months to complete.
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
First, we will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your mouth, with a focus on these areas:
Tooth Structure: We will note every detail of your teeth, including wear patterns, cracking, decay, shifting, tooth length, and any problems with existing dental work.
Gum Tissues and Bone Density: We will assess the amount and quality of your gum tissue and the density of your jawbone, and look for any signs of gum disease. If issues are found, we will start with gum and bone treatments to lay a solid foundation for your restorations.
Bite Stability: A stable bite does not cause any pain, popping, jaw locking, or dental damage when chewing. If your bite is unstable, you may need corrective orthodontic treatment.
Aesthetic Considerations: We will take a detailed look at each tooth, including its size, shape, and color. We will note how your teeth are aligned, how they fit in your mouth, and the effect they have on your appearance from both sides as well as the front.
We will use diagnostic tools to help with our assessments, including x-rays, photographs, and even a 3-D scan. We will also take impressions to create a physical model of your teeth.
Next, we will sit down with you to learn your needs, desires, and goals. We will talk about the things you love and hate about your smile, as well as other smiles you like and even the smile you had as a child. When we fully understand your vision for treatment, we will discuss your options and recommend various treatments. Based on your budget and your preferences, we will then create a detailed, step by step treatment plan and timeline.
Full Mouth Reconstruction or Smile Makeover?
Modern cosmetic dentistry has made the perfect smile more attainable than ever before. Consequently, the term “smile makeover” is frequently used interchangeably with “full mouth rehabilitation.” However, the two are actually somewhat different.
A smile makeover is a cosmetic overhaul of a healthy but aesthetically imperfect smile. A full mouth rehabilitation restores teeth that are damaged, failing, or missing due to injury or dental disease. Though both can help you look and feel your best, a full mouth rehabilitation can be considered medically necessary.
Our experienced dentists in NYC specialize in full mouth restoration for patients with severely worn or missing teeth, broken teeth, or knocked out teeth caused by dental trauma, decay, or chronic tooth pain. With a focus on functional and cosmetic considerations, our cosmetic dentist uses sophisticated dental technology and restorative procedures such as dental implants, dental crowns, porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers, dental bridges, and implant supported dentures to replace missing teeth and create a complete smile restored.
Each mouth restoration and mouth makeover begins with a short smile evaluation and digital smile design to ensure your personal smile goals align with your facial anatomy, facial features, and oral health needs. Our smile rehabilitation process addresses functional dental concerns like misaligned bite, clenching jaw pain, and intense discomfort while improving declining smile aesthetics and gum health.
With multiple procedures tailored to your needs, our dental team helps you regain healthy teeth, stable teeth, and overall oral health. We accept most dental insurance and design cosmetic treatments that highlight your natural beauty, ensuring a healthy smile, proper health, and a comfortable and confident life for all his patients seeking a truly amazing new smile through expert aesthetic reconstruction.
