Key takeaways
- Full mouth rehabilitation rebuilds the whole bite, not just individual teeth.
- It's often needed after years of grinding, acid wear or old failing work.
- Treatment is planned digitally and done in phases.
- Crowns, implants, bonding or dentures may all play a part.
Signs you may need it
- Teeth that look short, flat or chipped.
- Sensitivity across many teeth.
- Jaw ache, headaches or a bite that feels 'off'.
- Several missing teeth or failing old crowns and fillings.
Why one tooth at a time doesn't work
When teeth wear down, the whole bite collapses. Restoring a single tooth to its original height can make it hit too hard, so it breaks again. A full mouth plan restores the correct bite height across all teeth together.
How it's planned
- Photos, X-rays and digital scans of both jaws.
- Digital smile design to plan tooth shape and length.
- Often a trial smile or temporary teeth to test the new bite.
- Final crowns, implants or bonding, placed in phases.
Materials we use
Zirconia crowns are strong and natural-looking, DMLS crowns are a value option for back teeth, and implants replace missing teeth. Your plan combines whatever suits each tooth best.
