In this episode of Before and Beyond, Dr Justin from Dental Designs Clinic explores full mouth rehabilitation, a comprehensive dental approach to restore your teeth’s function, appearance, and bite. He explains the complexity of planning such treatments and why a team-based approach is essential for success.
Dr Justin also discusses the step-by-step process, including digital scans, smile trials, and bite adjustments. Using a real patient case, he demonstrates how careful planning and staged treatment can rebuild worn-down teeth while minimizing biological damage, ensuring patients achieve both functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Full mouth rehabilitation is a complex dental procedure designed to restore the bite, function, and aesthetics of a patient’s teeth. It often involves multiple treatments, including crowns, onlays, implants, and sometimes orthodontics, depending on the severity of wear, erosion, or misalignment. The process begins with detailed data collection, including digital scans and facial analysis, followed by a smile trial to visualize the final result.
A key aspect of full mouth rehabilitation is establishing the correct vertical dimension and bite, which ensures the jaw and muscles function comfortably. By gradually rebuilding teeth using minimally invasive techniques like ceramic onlays, dentists can avoid unnecessary trimming and protect sensitive dental nerves. This careful, staged approach allows patients to regain a healthy bite, reduce sensitivity, and achieve a natural-looking smile. Consulting an experienced dentist or prosthodontist is essential to plan and execute full mouth rehabilitation successfully.
