Full Mouth Dental Rehabilitation

Full-mouth rehabilitation is a complete restoration of every tooth in the mouth. It is typically performed on people with severely worn teeth or TMJ problems.

Full-mouth reconstruction used to mean a long protracted, disjointed series of procedures with a difficult-to-see endpoint that possibly could include extracting all the teeth and making dentures.

Age, illness, or accidents can sometimes lead to extreme tooth loss. When a patient experiences the loss of several teeth, our dentists may recommend a full-mouth rehabilitation to correct the problem. Previously, dentures were the solution to address several lost teeth; however modern technology and dental advancements offer the option of a full mouth rehab using dental implants.

Implants offer many advantages over dentures. Following is a comparative list of the disadvantages of dentures versus the advantages of a full-mouth rehab procedure with dental implants.

Disadvantages of Dentures

• Compromise integrity of facial structures
• Accelerate visible aging due to unattractive changes in facial appearance
• Cause pain, sore spots, and denture breath
• Require relining as bone melts away
• Require adhesives
• Cause an inability to eat certain foods
• Contribute to embarrassment in social situations when denture moves or falls out

Long-term Benefits of Implant-supported Tooth Replacement

• Virtually stops bone loss/deterioration
• Maintains integrity of facial structure
• Improves facial appearance, restoring lost lip support and minimizing wrinkles
• Increases comfort
• Restores natural biting and chewing capacity
