- What is a Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive treatment plan designed to restore the function, health, and aesthetics of your entire mouth. This process often involves restoring or replacing all teeth, addressing issues like missing teeth, worn-down enamel, bite alignment problems, and gum health.
- Who is a candidate for full mouth rehabilitation?
You may be a candidate if you:
- Have multiple missing or damaged teeth.
- Suffer from advanced wear due to teeth grinding (bruxism).
- Experience chronic jaw pain or TMJ issues caused by bite misalignment.
- Want to correct significant aesthetic concerns with your smile.
- Have dental restorations that need replacement or updating.
- What treatments are involved in full mouth rehabilitation?
The process is customized to each patient’s needs and may include:
- Dental implants for missing teeth.
- Crowns, bridges, or veneers to restore damaged or worn teeth.
- Periodontal therapy to improve gum health.
- Orthodontic treatments to correct bite alignment.
- Smile design techniques to enhance aesthetics.
- How long does full mouth rehabilitation take?
The timeline depends on the complexity of your case. Some treatments can be completed in a few months, while others may take a year or longer, especially if healing periods are needed for procedures like dental implants.
- Is full mouth rehabilitation painful?
We prioritize patient comfort during every step of the process. Treatments are performed under local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for patients with dental anxiety. Post-treatment discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribed medications.
- How much does full mouth rehabilitation cost?
The cost varies widely depending on the treatments involved. After a comprehensive evaluation, we’ll provide you with a detailed treatment plan and financial estimate. Call our office to discuss payment options to help make your care accessible.
- What is the difference between full mouth rehabilitation and a smile makeover?
While both aim to improve your smile, full mouth rehabilitation focuses on restoring the functionality and health of your teeth and bite, often involving medically necessary treatments. A smile makeover is primarily aesthetic and may not address functional issues.
- Will I need to see multiple specialists?
At Houston Dental Implants and Prosthodontics, we handle most aspects of full mouth rehabilitation in-house. For surgical procedures, we collaborate with trusted oral surgeons to ensure you receive expert care.
- What are the benefits of full mouth rehabilitation?
