A variety of persons with dental issues in their mouths must be handled with a view of their desired outcome that increases function and aesthetics. These patients can have several missing teeth, large-scale fillings of teeth that are unsatisfactory, decay, fracturing or cracked teeth, or teeth that are severely worn due to bruxism and other habits.

There's also a category of people that are born with diseases like ectodermal dysplasia, or dentinogenesis imperfecta or amelogenesis that require extensive dental reconstruction. These people will benefit from a full mouth rehabilitation.

In general, Full mouth rehabilitation or full mouth recovery refers to any oral procedure that involves all of the teeth. Some oral cancer treatments may include a special form of complete mouth rehabilitation, which includes replacing the lost teeth but potentially restoring the missing cavity components.

Onlays, crowns, dental implants, veneers, bridges, and/or dentures are some of the therapies that can be used to allow the patient not only a "smile makeover," but also better chewing ability. Other specialities can be used in certain patients like orthodontics to obtain the best possible result.

1. Bone grafting might be necessary to improve the jaw's strength in order to install a dental implant.
2. Orthodontics may also be important to help move teeth in the positions needed for an ideal appearance. Adult braces are becoming increasingly popular.
3. Veneers may be used to give the teeth a more attractive appearance. Veneers may be used to whiten, resize, reshape, and close holes, among other features.
4. To restore the missing tooth or removed tooth, dental implants may be recommended. It's necessary to repair lost teeth as soon as possible to prevent further jaw bone problems.
5. Crowns can be used to strengthen a root-canaled tooth. Dental crowns may be used to mask a naturally yellowed tooth that needs to be reshaped due to a crack or chip.
6. Gum contouring can be performed to improve the quality of your natural smile.
7. In extreme situations, you can need an orthographic operation in order to reposition the jaw properly for your smile.
8. Deep cleaning is necessary to keep teeth and gums properly cleaned. Since overall oral health is so critical, each patient should see his dentist every six months for a thorough cleaning.

The procedures mentioned above are only a handful of the dozens that will be performed during the full mouth rehabilitation. To decide just what has to be done with the mouth, your dental specialist will take x-rays and do a dental examination. Your dentist's primary aim for your full mouth rehabilitation is to restore the health and functionality of your smile. Chips, fractures, toothaches, broken teeth, jaw bone or muscle discomfort, headaches relating to the jaw, and other problems will be addressed by the dentist to ensure that your smile is healthy and working.
