Full Mouth Rehabilitation

A Full Mouth Rehabilitation (FMR) refers to an integration of various dental treatments and procedures conducted over a series of appointments to correct a wide variety of dental issues and restore healthy smiles.

Defined as a restorative approach, full mouth rehabilitation does not only intend to bring back smiles, but it also aims to improve tooth and jaw function while strengthening oral health and tooth structure covering both upper and lower teeth.

Since a full mouth rehabilitation renews both the appearance and function of teeth and gums, it allows the patients to smile more comfortably with enhanced confidence.

Why Do I Need Full Mouth Rehabilitation?

In today’s fast-paced world, Stress and Fatigue have become unavoidable components in our lives. Their effect is not only pronounced on our health but our teeth as well! Yes, you heard that right!

Teeth bear the consequences of stress and heavy muscular forces; resulting in ‘grinding away’ of the enamel. This results in “Loss of facial height” of the facial structure, giving you an ‘old, drooping’ look.

• According to studies from the National Health and Nutrition Examinations Survey 2003-2004 to assess the Prevalence and Severity of tooth wear; It has been proven that 75% of cases of Sleep Bruxism or as we may call it ‘night grinding’ are caused by stress or anxiety, which affects people subconsciously while they’re asleep!
• High levels of stress (work-related or otherwise) can have a significant effect on your sleep and hence trigger episodes of Sleep Bruxism. This causes you to clench your jaw or grind your teeth subconsciously.
• There are numerous people who have dental problems all throughout their lives that must be treated comprehensively with a vision of a final result that improves and reinstates both function and esthetics.
• These patients may exhibit numerous missing teeth, multiple teeth with large fillings that are breaking/broken or paining or exhibiting decay, badly worn teeth due to bruxism (teeth grinding), advanced periodontal gum disease, deep staining or discolouration.
• There are also patients who were born with conditions such as Ectodermal Dysplasia, Amelogenesis Imperfecta, or Dentinogenisis Imperfecta that will need extensive restoration of their teeth. These patients may be candidates for a full mouth rehabilitation.
