Think of your mouth like a house being built. If the foundations are not strong, the structure won’t last. Similarly, if the foundations of mouth, like your gums and teeth, aren’t in great shape, your smile can’t function correctly resulting in the breakdown of the mouth. Full mouth rehabilitation is designed to restore the health, function, and beauty of your smile. It’s about fixing the foundational elements first before building the rest. If it’s been a while since you’ve been to the dentist, don’t worry. We’ll guide you through every step of the process.

Papering over the cracks
When it comes to your teeth, “patching up” the mouth can sometimes lead to worse problems down the line. Quick fixes may mask underlying issues, leaving limited options for future treatment. Our experienced & professional team will take a step back, identify the root causes, and stop the cycle before it escalates further. This holistic approach ensures that we not only address the immediate concerns but also prevent future complications, giving you more effective and sustainable treatment options in the long run.
What Is Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive treatment plan that restores the health and appearance of your smile. It involves several treatments to fix underlying issues, such as broken teeth, discolouration, worn & chipped teeth, gum disease, and bone loss. After these are addressed, we move forward with treatments that ensure your smile is both beautiful and durable. Think of it like remodelling a house, starting with the essentials and building from there.
Signs You Might Need Full Mouth Rehabilitation
If you’re noticing issues with your teeth, gums, or bite, it may be time for a full mouth rehabilitation. Just like cracks in the foundation of a house, these signs are important indicators. Here are a few signs that you might need full mouth rehabilitation:
- Gum Infections or Gum Disease: Bleeding gums, bad breath, or gum recession are signs of gum issues. If untreated, gum disease can lead to bone loss, weakening your foundation.
- Broken Teeth: If you have broken or fractured teeth, it’s important to fix them as soon as possible. Leaving them untreated may lead to further damage and discomfort.
- Bone Loss: Bone loss can affect the stability of your teeth & limit your treatment options. We may recommend bone grafting to restore lost bone and stabilise your teeth.
- Tooth Decay: Untreated decay can cause serious issues if left unaddressed. Restoring decayed teeth is essential for your smile’s long-term health.
- Unstable Bite: If your teeth are misaligned, you may experience jaw pain or discomfort. A stable bite is key to your oral health and smile’s longevity.
Treatments Involved in Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Full mouth rehabilitation involves several treatments to restore your smile’s health and functionality. First, we address underlying issues like gum disease and tooth decay. Then we work on restoring your teeth and bite. Some of the possible treatment include:
- Treating Gum Disease: If you have gum infections, we start by treating them with deep cleanings and possibly gum surgery. Healthy gums are crucial for your smile’s foundation.
- Restoring Broken or Decayed Teeth: Broken teeth or cavities will be restored using fillings, porcelain onlays and crowns, or root canals. Restoring these teeth helps ensure your smile is both functional and beautiful.
- Bone Regeneration: If you have experienced bone loss, we can rebuild the bone structure. This restores the foundation of your smile.
- Restorative Treatments: We use treatments like porcelain veneers, crowns, or implants to rebuild your smile. These treatments improve both function and aesthetics.
- Stabilising the Bite: A misaligned bite can cause discomfort and damage. We use braces or clear aligners to ensure your bite is stable, which supports long-term oral health.
A Beautiful Smile That Lasts
A beautiful smile doesn’t just happen, it requires careful planning and solid foundations. By addressing your gums, teeth, and bite first, we build a smile that will last. Full mouth rehabilitation focuses on both aesthetics and functionality. We ensure your smile looks great and that it supports your health. A stable bite ensures that your smile will last, not only now but for years to come.
