Full Mouth Rehabilitation
What is full mouth rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation combines restorative and cosmetic treatments to repair dental concerns. The primary goal of a full mouth rehabilitation treatment is to restore and enhance your oral health. Recovering tooth function is a top priority. However, this comprehensive treatment can also enhance the appearance of your teeth for a beautiful smile.
What can full mouth rehabilitation treat?
Full mouth rehabilitation rebuilds your smile, for teeth that fit together properly and are easier to clean. Dr. Tomase may recommend full mouth rehabilitation if you have more than one of the following oral health concerns:
After a comprehensive dental exam, which includes X-rays and soft tissue scans, Dr. Tomase will tailor a treatment plan to your unique needs.
What does full mouth rehabilitation entail?
Every case is different and may include several cosmetic and restorative treatments, such as:
Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that restores and protects damaged or decayed teeth. Dr. Tomase offers metal-free crowns that can change the shape, size, and color of your teeth. Whether you have cracked, discolored, or worn teeth, a crown is a simple solution to restore appearance and function.
Bridges
A dental bridge replaces missing teeth. Traditional bridges consist of two crowns with an artificial tooth in the center. The crowns fit over the surrounding teeth to stabilize the bridge, while the artificial tooth takes the place of the missing tooth.
Dental implants
A dental implant is a thin titanium post that replaces the natural tooth root. If you have a missing tooth, a dental implant provides a stable foundation for a prosthetic tooth. Dental implants allow replacement teeth to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain coverings that hide chips, cracks, and discoloration in your smile. These porcelain shells are stain-resistant and improve the appearance of your teeth.
Fillings
If you have a cavity, Dr. Tomase will fill it with composite materials to restore and protect the chewing surfaces.
Gum recontouring
Gum recontouring is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes your gums. Dr. Tomase is an expert in laser dentistry. With an on-site soft tissue laser, he can remove excess gum tissue and minimize the appearance of a “gummy smile.”
