Homepage/Prosthodontics/Full mouth rehabilitation

Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive dental treatment aimed at restoring the function, aesthetics, and overall health of the entire mouth.
It is part of modern prosthodontics and is essential when a complete restoration of oral function and appearance is required.
This treatment is indicated in cases of extensive dental problems—such as severe tooth wear, missing teeth, or failing restorations—and is based on a fully personalized treatment plan.

What Problems Can Full Mouth Rehabilitation Address?

Full mouth rehabilitation is recommended when multiple dental problems are present simultaneously, rather than an issue affecting a single tooth.
It is commonly indicated in cases involving severe tooth wear, tooth loss, failing restorations, and/or difficulty chewing.
In such situations, isolated or fragmented treatments are not sufficient. A comprehensive approach is required to restore proper oral function.

How Is the Evaluation Performed Before Treatment?

Before any treatment begins, a thorough assessment of the teeth and gums is carried out.
We evaluate how the teeth come together, how chewing functions, and which teeth or restorations are contributing to existing problems.
The goal of this evaluation is to identify the underlying cause of the issues—not merely to treat the symptoms.

What Does Treatment Planning Involve?

Based on the clinical findings, a personalized treatment plan is developed.
This may include restoring worn teeth, replacing old restorations, and/or improving the bite.
Each step is carefully planned to ensure that the mouth functions properly and safely in the long term.

How Does Full Mouth Rehabilitation Progress?

Full mouth rehabilitation is not completed in a single day.
Treatment progresses gradually, allowing the mouth to adapt appropriately at each stage. Regular evaluations are performed throughout the process to ensure function, comfort, and stability.
This step-by-step approach reduces the risk of complications and increases the predictability and longevity of the final result.

What Are the Benefits of Full Mouth Rehabilitation for the Patient?

The primary goal of treatment is to achieve a stable, functional, and aesthetically balanced result, tailored to the patient’s individual needs and oral condition.
Full mouth rehabilitation:

replaces missing teeth
restores the correct vertical dimension of the lower face
allows the teeth to occlude properly
relieves facial and muscular strain caused by tooth loss
supports the lips and facial structures, allowing you to smile and feel comfortable

Full mouth rehabilitation is a prosthetic treatment applied to all or nearly all of a patient’s teeth, restoring or replacing them using different techniques.
Some teeth may be restored with inlays/onlays, others with crowns, while missing teeth may be replaced with bridges, dental implants, or even dentures.

The Role of the Prosthodontist

Prosthodontists are specialized dentists trained to plan and carry out full mouth rehabilitation cases.
Their expertise ensures that complex restorative treatments are designed with precision, function, aesthetics, and long-term stability in mind.

After

All teeth were restored with all-ceramic restorations, following the principles of minimal invasive prosthodontics.

Before

Tooth erosion is caused by the action of acids on the tooth surface.

The patient in the photo had lost a large amount of tooth substance due to erosion.

The bridge at the back of her mouth remained intact because acids do not affect porcelain.

After

With a full mouth rehabilitation we are able to restore the correct height of the face, the support of the upper lip, the correct chewing function and the lost self-confidence of our patients.

Before

When all the teeth in the upper jaw are lost, the face sinks, the lip is not properly supported.

In addition to the teeth in the upper jaw, the patient in the photo had also lost the back teeth in the lower jaw.

After

With the support provided by the teeth on the patient’s lips, the face regained its normal appearance

Before

Here the total oral reconstruction included a fixed bridge on 6 implants in the maxilla and fixed bridges on 2 implants on each side in the mandible.

With dental implants, this full mouth rehabilitation allowed our patient, who could not chew or speak properly, to regain proper oral function.

After

With a full mouth rehabilitation, we gave our patient a natural-looking smile.

We also created proper relationships between the upper and lower jaw and helped him eat comfortably and avoid frequent headaches.

Before

This patient was grinding his teeth and they were worn down.

As the teeth wear down, the height of the face decreases and the smile changes.

Our patient had many crowns on the back teeth and the front teeth had lost their anatomy.

After

As part of the total oral rehabilitation, all the crowns on the posterior teeth were replaced with new ones and the height of the face was increased.

This created the necessary space to place composite restorations on the front teeth, which the patient chose because of their affordable cost.

The work has remained in the mouth for 10 years without wear.

After

The type of restoration that will be used to improve the condition of your mouth will be decided after an assessment of the teeth in your mouth.

A suitable treatment plan will be drawn up for you, depending on your preferences, your finances and the condition of your mouth.

Before

Even if you have enough teeth in your mouth, if they do not fit together, you will not be able to chew properly and the lower part of your face will not be supported properly.

After

A partial denture was constructed in the maxilla, supported by an anterior bridge with precision attachments.

In the mandible, the teeth were replaced with a hybrid metal-acrylic restoration supported by 4 implants.

Before

In our patient’s case, many teeth had to be extracted, old bridges had to be removed and the patient needed treatment on the remaining teeth and an assessment of the amount of bone available in order to develop a treatment plan that was appropriate for her.

After

A fixed bridge across the upper jaw restores chewing, speech and aesthetics to the patient’s smile.

The colour and shape of the teeth are chosen to match the patient’s age and to blend with the face.

Before

Our patient had lost his front teeth, but had enough teeth in the back of his mouth to support a new bridge.

He also had old bridges in his lower jaw that needed to be replaced.

After

The fixed bridge in the upper jaw was made of metal and porcelain.

The old bridges in the lower jaw were replaced with new ones made of metal and porcelain.

By replacing the old restorations, we achieved the correct vertical dimension of the face and the correct occlusion of the teeth so that our patient could chew and speak comfortably.

Before

Old bridges that fail are a common cause of losing your natural teeth.

As long as you still have teeth in your mouth, a new bridge can be made.

Questions

When Is Full Mouth Rehabilitation Needed?
Full mouth rehabilitation is required when there are extensive problems affecting the teeth and the bite that cannot be effectively treated with isolated restorations.
Its purpose is to allow patients to chew comfortably, remain pain-free, and achieve good dental and facial aesthetics.
If you have lost many teeth or if your remaining teeth do not come together properly to allow effective chewing, you may require full mouth rehabilitation.
How Is Full Mouth Rehabilitation Performed?
The process begins with a thorough evaluation of the teeth and gums. We assess whether the teeth remain vital, whether previous root canal treatments need to be retreated, and the overall health of the gums.
We determine which teeth can be preserved and used as supports for replacing missing teeth. We also evaluate the quantity and quality of available bone to decide whether dental implants can be placed in areas of tooth loss.
All the information collected is used to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. We explain the proposed treatment, discuss alternative options, and jointly decide on the most appropriate course of action.
Based on these decisions, we guide the dental laboratory, which designs the restorations using digital or conventional techniques. The teeth are then prepared and fitted with transitional (temporary) restorations to evaluate the correct vertical dimension and proper bite.
Once the transitional restorations function successfully, we proceed with the final impressions and the definitive restorations.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation Is a Major Treatment—
How Do I Know It Will Be Successful?
After the treatment plan is established, it is implemented using temporary restorations, known as transitional restorations. These allow us to test whether the treatment plan functions successfully in real-life conditions.
When the transitional restorations have remained in the mouth for an adequate period of time, we reassess whether any modifications are needed. Only then do we proceed with the final restorations.
I Know I Need to Restore All My Teeth, but I Only Want to Fix the Front Teeth That Show. Is That Possible?
In dentistry, it is often possible to treat a single tooth that is painful or fractured. However, every tooth must function in harmony with the rest of the mouth.
When the back teeth are missing, the front teeth are subjected to excessive forces, making restorations less durable and more prone to failure.
For this reason, we do not recommend performing prosthetic restorations only on the front teeth when problems also exist in the back teeth. A comprehensive approach is necessary to ensure long-term function, comfort, and stability.
