Full mouth replacement

Full mouth rehabilitation is the process of restoring all the teeth using restorative materials such as implants, bridges, veneers and dentures. This treatment is used not only to preserve the patient’s oral health but also to improve the esthetic appearance of teeth and face. A good candidate for full mouth rehabilitation may include those who have decayed, damaged, missing or excessively worn down teeth. People who have problems with their temporomandibular joint may also be a candidate for full mouth rehabilitation.

Upper Jaw Implant

Lower Jaw Implant

The doctor will suggest you to have full mouth x-rays for diagnosis. He will also check your previous medical history. Another consultation will discuss about the goals of treatments. If you send information about the existing clinical condition and also any dental x rays-OPG(Orthopantogram) and clinical photos, it will help us to formulate a treatment plan. We will discuss the treatment plan, the number of visits required and the number of days needed to stay and also the costs involved. This will help you to prepare yourself before you come to our center for treatment.
