Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Dental treatment that affects all the mouth’s teeth is called full mouth reconstruction or full mouth rehabilitation. People with dental problems throughout their mouths must be treated comprehensively to restore full function. These patients may have multiple missing teeth, numerous teeth with large fillings that are failing or exhibiting decay, cracked or broken teeth or badly worn teeth due to teeth grinding.
Staged, Long Term Approach
Full mouth rehabilitation requires a systematic approach to diagnose, plan a treatment path and consider risk factors for a predictable outcome. A staged plan provides Dr. Houlik the opportunity to evaluate each patient’s response to the treatment and best steps for completing full mouth rehabilitation.
Some patients are born with conditions that require extensive restoration of their teeth. These include Ectodermal Dysplasia, Amelogenesis and Dentinogenesis Imperfecta. These patients may be candidates for full mouth reconstruction. Dr. Houlik’s experience with these unique conditions and effective treatment options provide positive outcomes for patients with hard-to-treat health concerns.
