What Is Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive approach to restoring the health, function, and appearance of your smile. As part of comprehensive dental care in South Bay, California, this customized treatment may include solutions such as dental implants to replace missing teeth, all carefully planned around the current condition of your mouth.
Common Reasons for
Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Full-mouth rehabilitation helps people with widespread oral damage restore comfort, function, and appearance. Below are some of the most common reasons patients pursue this type of comprehensive care.
Mismatched Restorations
If you’ve experienced years of dental problems, you may have multiple restorations that no longer work well together. In some cases, replacing mismatched prosthetics with a full-arch implant solution can provide improved stability, function, and long-term predictability. Our prosthodontists develop comprehensive treatment plans that may incorporate dental implants approaches to ensure your restorations work together seamlessly and feel natural when you bite, chew, and speak.
Dental Trauma
Falls, car accidents, sporting accidents, and violence are all common causes of extensive dental trauma. No matter how badly your teeth and jaw might be damaged, full mouth rehabilitation can restore a beautiful, healthy, and functional mouth.

Gum Disease
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults and is often accompanied by jawbone deterioration. When multiple teeth are missing, full-arch implant treatment may be recommended to restore chewing ability while helping preserve remaining bone structure. These cases often involve close collaboration between prosthodontists and periodontists to ensure both the health of the gums and the success of the final restorations.
Oral Cancer
Cancer and its treatments can significantly affect oral structures, sometimes resulting in the loss of teeth, bone, or supporting tissues. Full-mouth rehabilitation following cancer treatment may include All-on-X restorations or other implant-supported solutions to rebuild function and improve facial aesthetics. Care is carefully coordinated with your medical team to support healing and long-term oral health.
Birth or Developmental Defects
Defects from birth or during childhood may require extensive rehabilitation to allow an individual to achieve a healthy and functional bite and an attractive smile. Full mouth rehabilitation can also help with speech, swallowing, and other functions. Our specialists can provide maxillofacial prosthetics in the oral cavity and beyond.

How Can We
Help You?
Your Full Mouth Rehabilitation Consultation
Since every full mouth rehabilitation is custom-designed for a patient, it must start with a detailed consultation to help us plan your procedure.
For the first step in the consultation, your dentist may want to listen to your description of your current condition and what you hope to achieve. It’s important to be honest. If you’re looking for a simple, functional restoration, say so, but if having a beautiful smile is equally important, let us know. Often, it’s easy to achieve both functional and aesthetic goals together. It’s also important to let us know how you feel now and how you want to feel. Your emotional outcome matters as much to us as the functional and cosmetic ones.
Before your appointment, your dentist will review documentation, x-rays, and other imaging sent by your general dentist or referring physician. They may ask you some questions about the documentation and imaging they reviewed. Next, they will perform an exam. If they don’t have enough information, they might request additional imagery or try to schedule a consultation with your general dentist or physician.
They will discuss treatment options with you if they have enough information. Often, there are multiple approaches to achieving your desired goals. Your dentist will explain the options, including their advantages and disadvantages. They may recommend one particular option, but deciding if, how, and when to proceed is always yours.
