Full mouth rehabilitation (or reconstruction) is a planned approach for patients whose teeth are extensively worn, broken or missing, often with bite problems. It may combine crowns, bridges, implants, root canal treatment, gum care and orthodontics.
Because it involves many teeth and the bite, it requires thorough diagnosis and staged treatment.
Who this treatment may suit
- Severe tooth wear from grinding or erosion
- Multiple failing restorations
- Several missing teeth affecting chewing
Common concerns it addresses
- Teeth getting shorter
- Difficulty chewing

Suitability can only be confirmed after a clinical examination.
How full mouth rehabilitation works
Records include X-rays, 3D imaging, scans and bite analysis. The plan addresses disease first, then establishes a stable bite, often tested with temporary restorations before final work.

This begins with a long consultation and records appointment. Dr. Paul will explain the phases, likely duration, and where specialist input may be beneficial.
