What Is Involved in Full Mouth Rehabilitation?

When patients hear the term Full Mouth Rehabilitation, many assume it simply means “caps on all teeth.”
In reality, it is far more precise, planned, and personalised than that.

For us, full mouth rehabilitation always begins with proper data collection and digital diagnosis. We start by recording detailed photographs, digital scans, X-rays, and jaw records. These are then transferred into advanced planning software, where we virtually study how your teeth, jaw joints, muscles, and bite are functioning today — and where they should ideally be. Using digital and AI-assisted planning, we reverse-engineer the treatment so that chewing comfort and long-term stability come first. Aesthetic improvement naturally follows function.

The treatment itself happens in structured phases, not all at once.
First, we address any emergency issues or infections. Next, we stabilise what is already present — fillings, root canal treatments, and gum health — because a healthy foundation is essential. Once the gums and teeth are healthy, we focus on alignment and bite correction, if required. This may involve orthodontics or minor positional changes to place the teeth in their most relaxed and functional position for the jaw joints and muscles.

After this, we move to restorative and replacement phases — crowns, onlays, ceramics, or implants — depending on what is worn or missing. Some patients may complete treatment in a few weeks, while others may need several months. The timeline depends entirely on planning, alignment needs, and overall oral health.

Full mouth rehabilitation is suitable for a wide range of patients — from younger individuals with early wear or alignment issues to people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s with long-standing dental breakdown. What matters most is planning it right, so the results are comfortable, stable, easy to maintain, and designed to last — not just look good for a short time.
