Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
In the journey towards optimal oral health and a radiant smile, some individuals may face complex dental issues that cannot be resolved through simple treatments. This is where full-mouth rehabilitation comes into play, offering a comprehensive solution to restore both function and aesthetics to the entire mouth.
What is Full-Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full-mouth rehabilitation, also known as full-mouth reconstruction or full-mouth restoration, is a comprehensive dental treatment approach aimed at restoring the health, function, and aesthetics of the entire mouth. It involves a combination of restorative, cosmetic, and surgical procedures tailored to address various dental problems simultaneously.
How is Full-Mouth Rehabilitation Done?
The process of full-mouth rehabilitation begins with a thorough examination and assessment by a skilled dentist or prosthodontist like Dr Nishtha Glodha. This evaluation includes comprehensive dental examinations, X-rays, impressions, and possibly advanced imaging techniques like CT scans. Through these assessments, the dentist gains insights into the patient's oral health status and identifies any underlying issues that need to be addressed.
Based on the findings, a personalized treatment plan is formulated to address the specific needs and goals of the individual. This strategy could include several steps, including:
- Dental Implants: To restore teeth that are missing and to give restorations a strong base.
- Crowns and Bridges: To restore damaged or decayed teeth and bridge the gaps caused by missing teeth.
- Dental Veneers: Thin shells of porcelain or composite resin are placed over the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. Orthodontic Treatment: To correct misaligned teeth and bite issues.
- Periodontal Therapy: Treatment for gum disease and restoration of gum health.
- TMJ Treatment: Management of temporomandibular joint disorders to alleviate pain and dysfunction.
The duration and sequence of treatments may vary depending on the complexity of the case and the individual's needs. Throughout the process, Dr Nishtha works closely with the patient to ensure their comfort and satisfaction with the results.
