Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Not everyone is blessed with naturally strong, healthy teeth. Many people have long-term oral health problems resulting in severe damage to most or all of their teeth. Conditions like tooth decay and gum disease, as well as facial trauma, can have a devastating effect on a person’s smile. That is where full mouth rehabilitation comes in.
What is Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Patients who are missing or have severe decay and damage to most of their teeth require extensive treatment to restore their oral health. These patients are great candidates for full mouth rehabilitation, a process that involves a series of restorative and cosmetic procedures to rebuild a person’s smile and get them back on track with their oral health. Full mouth rehabilitation does not happen overnight. It requires a substantial time commitment because of the number of issues that need to be addressed. However, the results are well worth it. After full mouth rehabilitation, the patient has a fully functioning, strong, perfectly aligned bite and healthy teeth and gums.
What is Involved in Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation is a personal process. Each patient’s case is different, and their treatment plan is based on their needs as well as their goals. Dr. Tomase and his team create custom full mouth rehabilitation treatment plans to ensure that patients receive the treatment they need to achieve their vision of their perfect smile. Some of the treatments that may be included are:
Periodontal Treatment – Before addressing missing, damaged, or decayed teeth, the base supporting those teeth needs to be healthy. Periodontal treatment works to restore gum tissue and eliminate infection-causing bacteria for a healthy foundation.
Dental Implants – Dental implants are excellent for replacing individual teeth or securing a denture or bridge to replace multiple teeth. Because implants are surgically placed in the jawbone, they prevent additional bone loss and aid in maintaining healthy gum tissue.
Dentures – Dentures are a practical solution for replacing an entire arch of missing or severely damaged teeth. Advanced technology and materials make it possible to craft custom dentures that look and feel very natural. Dentures can be removable or fixed in place with dental implants for a more secure fit.
Crowns – Any remaining teeth that do not require extraction can be reinforced with dental crowns. A crown fully covers a tooth to provide strength and stability. Crowns are typically made from dental-grade porcelain, which is highly durable and also very natural looking.
