Understand your options
Full-mouth rehabilitation is a planned approach to addressing multiple dental problems. It is not one standard procedure or a fixed package. Your assessment determines which treatments, if any, are appropriate and how they should be sequenced.
When to arrange a consultation
- Several missing or damaged teeth
- Worn teeth or difficulty chewing
- Previous dental work that needs reassessment
What to discuss at your visit
- Explain the problems you want help with and your treatment history.
- Review your teeth, gums, bite and existing restorations.
- Discuss the options and which issues need attention first.
- Review a phased proposal, expected visits and an individual estimate.
Planning your treatment and cost
The scope of treatment, materials, number of teeth and need for different clinicians influence the plan. A phased proposal should help you understand the purpose and cost of each stage before making a commitment.
Your questions, answered
Will I need implants on every tooth?
No. An assessment is needed to decide which teeth can be maintained and where replacement may be considered. A rehabilitation plan should reflect your individual findings.
Can treatment be done in stages?
Ask which stages can be separated and which depend on each other. The sequence and timetable depend on your clinical needs.
Can I bring an existing treatment plan?
Yes. Bring previous records and the questions you want discussed. An independent assessment may identify different options or the need for more information.
