It aims to restore dental health, function and aesthetics for individuals with extensive dental problems.

In this blog, we will delve into the significance of full mouth rehabilitation with a range of treatment plans provided by the specialists / the best dentists in Delhi. A comprehensive approach can restore dental health and improve overall well-being.

Understanding Full Mouth Rehabilitation

Full mouth rehabilitation, also known as full mouth restoration or full mouth reconstruction, is a specialized and customized treatment plan that involves a combination of restorative, cosmetic and reconstructive dental procedures. It is designed to address multiple dental issues of patients such as tooth loss, tooth decay, gum disease, bite problems and damaged or worn teeth.

With ongoing changes in day to day lifestyle and dietary habits, there are a lot of resultant effects you experience in your mouth. There is excessive wear and tear of the surfaces of teeth by grinding or overbite issues. There are certain more factors like poor oral hygiene leading to loose teeth and ultimately losing them. Also, due to continuous wear and tear over the years, your bite collapses leading to decreased jaw size and the face starts looking aged. The collapsed bite and the functional integrity of the worn out teeth along with their aesthetics can be reestablished by

• Proper measurement of the facial proportions
• Measurements of jaw relations
• Establishment of renewed vertical height of the jaws and the face
• Delivering the crowns / implants / fixed dentures at the new established vertical height

If we leave the spaces with missing teeth, other teeth begin to shift when there are no adjacent supporting teeth and the opposing teeth will grow and supraerupt in the available vacant space of the opposite jaw. This will lead to the following sequential problems viz…s

• Malalignment of all the teeth
• Food lodgement in the catch areas of these malaligned teeth
• Cavities and gum problems
• TMJ issues
• Problem in chewing
• Gastrointestinal issues due to swallowing of unchewed food
• Compromised aesthetics
• Finally leading to a bite collapse and loss of vertical height of the face and jaws

As a result the person will look aged with thinner lips and a lopsided smile.

The Importance of Full Mouth Rehabilitation

Restoring Dental Health: Full mouth rehabilitation focuses on improving overall dental health by addressing various dental issues. By eliminating decay, treating gum disease, restoring damaged teeth through painless single sitting root canal treatment and all ceramic zirconia crowns over them. All these procedures can also help the patients to achieve a healthy and functional smile.

Enhancing Aesthetics: Full mouth rehabilitation not only improves oral health but also enhances the appearance of the smile. Procedures such as dental implants, dental veneers or dental crowns can restore natural-looking teeth, resulting in a beautiful and confident smile.

Improving Bite Alignment: Bite problems, including misaligned teeth or jaw discrepancies, can cause discomfort and affect oral function. Full mouth rehabilitation incorporates orthodontic treatments or occlusal / bite adjustments to achieve proper bite alignment and improve overall oral function.

Comprehensive Full Mouth Rehabilitation Treatments

Dental Implants

Dental implants are the best, durable and natural-looking solution for replacement of your teeth. They provide a stable foundation for dental crowns, bridges or fixed dentures, allowing patients to regain the functionality and aesthetics of their natural teeth. They are the best replacements for missing teeth as the jaw bone below them gets stabilised and no longer resorbs. The biting power of the implant supported teeth is as good as natural teeth. The looks and phonetics are also very close to natural teeth.

At ‘Smile Delhi’ we utilise the latest and advanced dental procedures known as ‘All on Six’ or ‘All On Four’ implants, depending on the quality of bone in your mouth. As per the treatment plan decided by our team of specialists, we will be installing either 4 or 6 implants each in your upper and lower jaw. Once healed over a period of (3-6 months), we give you the fixed permanent teeth. This gives you a complete set of healthy functional teeth and a stunning smile all over once again.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are custom-made restorations that cover damaged or weakened teeth, providing strength, protection and an improved appearance. They are often used in full mouth rehabilitation to restore the form and function of compromised teeth. In patients who have bite collapse due to excessive grinding and the teeth which have become flat and no longer function in chewing. We plan to restore the bite and smile of such patients with the help of all ceramic crowns.

These premiere zirconia crowns are extremely life-like. They not only restore the health of the damaged teeth, but also give a very natural and life-like appearance.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. They fill the gaps, restore proper bite, maintain alignment, improve speech and chewing abilities.

For individuals with partial teeth loss and perhaps wearing partial dentures, we can achieve the same result by using individual implants where necessary and giving a bridge over the implants.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin shells made of porcelain that are bonded to the front surface of teeth. They correct various aesthetic concerns such as shape, size, colour and alignment resulting in a more symmetrical and attractive smile.

Periodontal Treatments

Full mouth rehabilitation may also involve periodontal treatments to address gum disease or improve gum health. This is a very integral part of the treatment. Just like a building has a foundation, the gums and the jaw bone underlying the teeth form their foundation.

• Scaling and root planing
• Bone grafting
• Gum contouring
• Laser therapy

These are some of the procedures that can restore gum health and support the overall rehabilitation process.

Braces / Aligners

Full mouth rehabilitation also includes bite adjustments through braces or aligners. The bite adjustment problems can be due to misaligned teeth or jaw discrepancies which can cause discomfort and affect dental function. Full mouth rehabilitation incorporates orthodontic treatments or occlusal / bite adjustments to achieve proper bite alignment and improve overall oral function.

Root Canal Treatments

Last but not the least root canals are a very important part of the full mouth rehabilitation process. Any damaged, broken and worn out teeth need to be repaired by the root canal treatment before restoring them with crowns and bridges.
