When many teeth are lost or damaged, the relationships between the remaining teeth are disorganised.

In such cases, the treatment is a comprehensive prosthetic procedure that addresses both the problems of the teeth and the relationships between them.

This prosthesis is a full mouth restoration, a restoration that involves all remaining teeth.

A full mouth restoration:

Restores the correct height of the lower part of the face (vertical dimension of occlusion),
Provides stable occlusion,
Relieves the face and muscles that are strained due to the lack of teeth,
Supports the lips and face in a way that allows you to smile and feel comfortable.

A full-mouth restoration is a prosthetic procedure in which all or nearly all of the patient’s teeth are restored or replaced using various types of prostheses.

Some teeth may be restored with onlays, others with crowns, while missing teeth can be replaced with bridges, implants, or even dentures.

BEFORE AND AFTER

Fun mouth rehabilitation cases, treated in our clinic.
Proceed with the arrow to the right for more photos of each case.

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

Do I need a full-mouth restoration?
A full-mouth restoration is a comprehensive treatment for dental problems.

The aim is to provide our patients with the ability to chew comfortably, be pain free and have a beautiful smile and facial aesthetics.

If you have lost a lot of teeth or the teeth you still have are not properly aligned for efficient chewing, you may need a full-mouth restoration.
How is a full-mouth restoration carried out?

Teeth are evaluated for vitality, the need for retreatment of any previous endodontic (root canal) treatment, and the condition of the gums.

Based on this examination, we decide whether to keep the teeth and use them as abutments to replace missing teeth.

We will also assess the amount of bone available and whether it is possible to place implants in the areas where teeth are missing.

The information gathered is evaluated and a treatment plan is drawn up.

We explain to our patients the type of treatment we recommend, as well as alternative options, and together we decide on the course of action.

Depending on our decisions, we guide the dental technician to design the restoration using either digital or analogue methods.

The teeth are prepared and provided with temporary restorations to check the correct vertical dimension and occlusion.

Once the provisional restorations have been successfully used we proceed with the final impression and final restoration of the teeth.
A full mouth restoration is a major procedure, how will I know if it will be successful?
Once the treatment plan has been developed, it is implemented with provisional restorations to help us determine if the plan can be successfully completed.

Once the provisional restorations have been in place for a sufficient period of time, we will assess whether any adjustments need to be made to the treatment plan.

Only then do we proceed with the final restoration.
I know that I need to have all my teeth fixed, but I only want to have the front teeth that bother me fixed. Is this possible?
In dentistry, we often focus on treating a single tooth that is in pain or broken and needs attention.

When we work on a tooth, we need to integrate it into the mouth so that it works properly without causing you any discomfort.

If you are missing posterior teeth, the front teeth will take a much heavier load and wear out much faster.

Any treatment on a single front tooth in this case will have a limited lifespan.

For this reason, we do not recommend prosthetic work only on the front teeth if you also have problems with your back teeth.
