What Are the Benefits of a Full Mouth Rehabilitation?

The natural aging process, an oral injury, and many other factors can lead to serious and numerous problems with the teeth and gums. Since a full mouth rehabilitation can involve several treatment options to provide correction for various concerns, there are many potential benefits associated with this procedure. Advantages of full mouth rehabilitation can include:

Replacement of missing teeth
Correction of teeth affected by chips and cracks
Correction of teeth misalignment and gaps/spaces
Correction of discoloration and teeth affected by deep stains
Correction of teeth affected by damage and decay
Treatment of periodontal (gum) disease
Improvement of teeth affected by a worn-down appearance
Improvement of conditions associated with TMJ Disorder

What Are the Treatment Options That Can Be Included?

Each full mouth rehabilitation procedure is unique. The treatment options selected will ultimately depend on your individual needs and goals, and can range from restorative and general dental care procedures to state-of-the-art cosmetic dentistry techniques. Some of the more common components of a full mouth rehabilitation include two or more of the following:

What Are the Steps of a Full Mouth Rehabilitation?

1. Dental Examination & Diagnosis

The first step in the full mouth rehabilitation process is the initial evaluation.
Dr. Wu will meet with you for a consultation and comprehensive oral examination. Dental x-rays will be taken so that Dr. Wu can get a clear look at your oral structures and precisely identify the areas of concern. This part of the process may include x-rays taken with the advanced Cone Beam 3-D Imaging system, which creates extraordinarily detailed images of anatomical structures in the mouth, and allows Dr. Wu to create meticulous treatment plans that enable him to more accurately predict the potential results. Dr. Wu will go over the images with you to ensure you have a full understanding of the present dental conditions and what can be done to improve them.

2. Full Mouth Rehabilitation Treatment Planning

After your concerns have been evaluated, Dr. Wu can then talk with you about your goals and recommend the most ideal options to include in your full mouth rehabilitation procedure. Once they are determined, Dr. Wu will create a customized treatment plan. He will also explore your options in terms of how you would like the treatment to be performed. In some cases, a full mouth rehabilitation can be accomplished in a single appointment here at our practice; in others, it is best to perform the procedure in a series of staged appointments. Ultimately, the process will depend on the options included in the treatment plan and your individual needs and goals.

3. Preparation and Oral Wellness Improvement

Full mouth rehabilitation treatment plans typically include options that may require a certain amount of oral health preparation beforehand. In some cases, periodontal treatment may be necessary to ensure the gums are in the healthiest shape possible; in others, conservative tooth modification, bone grafting to prepare for a dental implant, or other preparatory treatments may be necessary. Some patients may not need extensive oral wellness preparation prior to the full mouth rehabilitation. Dr. Wu will be able to advise you in more detail once he has examined your teeth and made a diagnosis.

4. Full Mouth Rehabilitation Procedure

The final step in the full mouth rehabilitation process is the procedure itself. As noted above, the treatment can be performed in a single session or in a series of appointments, depending on each patient’s distinct needs, wishes, and the restorative options selected as part of the procedure. Many of the treatments that can be included in a full mouth rehabilitation require only a local anesthetic to maximize patient comfort; however, Dr. Wu offers sedation dentistry techniques that can relieve anxiety and help create the most relaxed experience possible.

A full mouth rehabilitation can significantly improve the function of your teeth while simultaneously enhancing the appearance of your smile. Once you and Dr. Wu have talked about your options, he can give you an idea of how long the procedure may take to perform and what you can expect from the results.

How Much Does Full Mouth Rehabilitation Cost?

The total cost of a full mouth rehabilitation can be significantly different for each patient since this procedure is customized based on individual needs. The number of treatments and the specific options included in the full mouth rehabilitation plan, the complexity of the procedure, the dental materials that will be necessary, costs associated with sedation techniques (if requested), and other factors will be taken into account for the final price. With this in mind, it is important to note that an all-inclusive cost estimate will be provided once the full mouth rehabilitation treatment plan is created during the initial consultation. A member of our team can go over the estimate with you and answer any questions you may have. For any expenses that are not covered by insurance, our practice accepts an array of convenient forms of payment.
