Is Full Mouth Rehabilitation painful?
We offer several options to reduce the discomfort you may have during your dental treatment for full mouth rehabilitation. You can consult your dentist on the various painless dental treatment options available.
Full mouth restorations are suitable if you have the following issues:
Multiple missing teeth due to decay or trauma.
Misaligned teeth that hampers your biting efficiency.
Short, severely worn teeth that are chipped and broken.
Experience teeth grinding and loss or worn teeth as a result of long-term acid erosion (foods, beverages, acid reflux).
If you think you require a full mouth reconstruction, make an appointment with us for a comprehensive examination.
To proceed with full mouth rehabilitation, the dentist will check your:
Temporomandibular joints, jaw muscles and occlusion
If you have a stable bite, you will not be in pain when you close your mouth or chew. A stable bite does not cause wear or destruction of your teeth and is important to your overall oral health. Occlusal changes need to be taken into consideration when your dentist plans your restorations. In fact, you may require orthodontics or some other type of treatment (night guard or bite reprogramming orthotic) to correct occlusion before additional restorative procedures can be performed.
Aesthetics
AestheticsThe color, shape, size, and proportion of your teeth, and how they appear in relation to your gums, lips, mouth, side profile and face will also be assessed prior to the treatment.
Process
The examination process requires X-rays and photographs, models of your upper and lower teeth. Once your dentist has obtained all information relevant to your case, he or she will develop a comprehensive, step-by-step treatment plan for you.
Based on the diagnosis, the dentist may recommend a combination of dental procedures for your full mouth rehabilitation. Some of them include:
- Initial scaling and polishing of your teeth and gums.
- Crown lengthening to expose healthy, sound tooth structure for possible crowns or bridges.
- Remove and replace existing tooth decay and dental restoration.
- Teeth preparations.
- Temporary restorations.
- Placement of permanent restorations.
