As the name implies, full mouth rehabilitation refers to reconstructing and/or replacing all of the teeth in a patient’s mouth. Full mouth reconstructions combine esthetics with the science of restorative dentistry to improve the health, function, and beauty of the mouth.

There are certain individuals who have dental problems throughout their mouths that must be treated comprehensively with a vision of a final result that improves both function and esthetics. This is something that Prosthodontic Dental Group specializes in. A select group of people may exhibit multiple missing teeth, cracked or broken teeth, numerous teeth with large fillings that are failing or exhibiting decay, or badly worn teeth due to bruxism (teeth grinding) or other habits.

There are also individuals who were born with conditions such as Dentinogenisis Imperfecta, Ameliogenesis, Ectodermal Dysplasia or that will need extensive restoration of their teeth. These patients may be candidates for a full mouth reconstruction.

Any dental treatment that affects all the teeth in an individual’s mouth is called full mouth reconstruction or full mouth rehabilitation. Some treatment options for oral cancer may require the patient to undergo a unique type of full mouth reconstruction that not only involves the replacement of missing teeth, but potentially restoration of missing structures of the oral cavity. Prosthodontic Dental Group can assist patients with restoring their whole mouth to full function, allowing them to enjoy life again.

The treatments can include onlays, crowns, bridges, veneers, dental implants, and/or dentures that will essentially provide not only a "smile makeover", but improved chewing efficiency for the patient. In some cases, other specialties will be utilized and orthodontics may also be employed to facilitate the best possible outcome.
