Comprehensive care for complex dental needs
Full-mouth rehabilitation is the coordinated restoration of many or all of the teeth, usually where there has been extensive wear, erosion, decay, tooth loss or a combination of these. Rather than treating each tooth in isolation, the whole mouth is assessed and treated as a connected system, including the way the teeth meet, the health of the gums and bone, and the appearance of the smile.
Full-mouth treatment isn’t always necessary. Sometimes a more limited approach, treating only the teeth that need it, or monitoring, is more appropriate, and your prosthodontist will discuss these options with you.

A carefully planned process
Full-mouth rehabilitation begins with a thorough assessment and detailed planning because managing the cause is essential to protecting the treatment over time. Managing the cause is often an ongoing part of care after treatment, and your role in that matters. Your prosthodontist will explain what’s involved and how you can help protect the work.
Treatment is then staged and may combine several of the treatments described elsewhere on this site, such as crowns, bridges, veneers, implant restorations and dentures, alongside any other care a particular case needs, such as periodontal treatment, oral surgery, orthodontics or root canal treatment.
These cases are individual, and treatment is often carried out in stages that can extend over many months, and for more involved cases sometimes over a year or more, particularly where healing time, implants or interim restorations are part of the plan. Your prosthodontist will discuss the plan, the sequence, the likely timeframe and the options with you in detail before treatment begins. If anything needs to change as treatment progresses, this will be discussed with you before going ahead.
Working as a team
Depending on what is involved, full-mouth rehabilitation can draw on the skills of several disciplines, for example periodontics, oral surgery, orthodontics or endodontics, alongside the restorative and prosthodontic work, and close communication with your own general dentist. The prosthodontist often coordinates the overall restorative plan and works with whichever practitioners a particular case calls for. This may include your existing dentist and specialists, colleagues at the practice, or other specialists brought in where a case needs particular expertise. What matters is that the care is planned as a connected whole and delivered in a well-coordinated sequence.
