Restore Your Smile’s Oral Function and Aesthetics with Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Full mouth rehabilitation (FMR) in Red Hill, Victoria, is a complex procedure for addressing multiple, severe, and ongoing issues. Full mouth restoration combines several restorative and cosmetic procedures to rebuild your smile’s oral function and appearance. If you constantly battle dental problems, it’s time to talk to Red Hill Dental Practice about full mouth reconstruction.Â
Who needs full mouth restoration?
Rather than deal with dental problems in isolation, full mouth rehabilitation simultaneously addresses multiple oral health issues. This integrated treatment plan considers the entire mouth’s function, aesthetics, and overall health. FMR is ideal for patients with numerous recurring dental problems.
Ideal candidates for full mouth restoration include patients with the following:
- Extensive tooth loss
- Widespread tooth decay
- TMJ pain
- Advanced periodontal disease
- Worn-down teeth because of severe teeth grinding (bruxism)
Full mouth restoration enhances long-term oral health and minimizes the risk of developing secondary problems due to untreated issues. The results? More sustainable and effective results. Ultimately, full mouth rehabilitation provides a streamlined path to a healthier, more confident smile, which saves time and improves patient comfort and satisfaction.
What does full mouth restoration involve?
Your FMR procedure starts with a consultation to understand the inside out of your oral health. Based on the findings of your comprehensive exam, your FMR may involve the combination of the following treatments.
- Dental fillings: We treat cavities and minor tooth damage with tooth-colored (composite) fillings. Placing composite fillings is simple and only involves removing a small amount of the tooth structure.Â
- Crowns: We repair extensively damaged teeth with dental crowns, which are colored and shaped like natural teeth. Dental crowns rebuild your tooth’s shape and size and protect it from further damage.Â
- Inlays/onlays: If your tooth damage is too pronounced for a tooth filling but doesn’t warrant a dental crown, we’ll recommend a dental onlay or inlay. Indirect fillings are a minimally invasive option for restoring your tooth’s oral function.Â
- Root canals: The dentist may recommend a root canal before restoring your tooth with a filling or dental crown. Root canal therapy (RCT) removes the infected pulp tissues to relieve pain and save your tooth from extraction.Â
- Dental implants: Whether you have lost one or multiple teeth, dental implants are the #one recommended solution. Dental implants are anchored in the jawbone, providing remarkable stability when eating or talking. Also, dental implants prevent jawbone loss and stabilize your bite to prevent jaw pain and other discomforts.Â
- Porcelain veneers: Our dentist addresses chipped, discolored, gapped, and otherwise flawed teeth with natural-looking porcelain veneers. Dental veneers are ultra-thin porcelain coverings placed on the front teeth to enhance their color, shape, and size.
Our full-mouth rehabilitation approach is systematic. We carefully plan each treatment to build on previous work for maximum comfort and optimal outcomes. We don’t address individual issues one at a time. Instead, we evaluate oral health to create a customized plan considering the unique interplay between teeth, gums, bite, and jaw function. This approach enables each phase of treatment to complement the next, reducing discomfort and recovery time while enhancing function and aesthetics.
