Full Mouth
Rehabilitation in Calgary
Rebuilding severely damaged, worn, or decayed dentitions requires a comprehensive, coordinated approach. We restore function, health, and appearance — one step at a time.
About Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Full mouth rehabilitation — also called full mouth reconstruction — is a comprehensive restorative treatment plan addressing every tooth in the mouth. It's recommended for patients who have experienced severe decay affecting most teeth, significant tooth wear from acid erosion or grinding (bruxism), multiple missing teeth, or traumatic injuries affecting many teeth.
Unlike a smile makeover (which is primarily cosmetic), full mouth rehab prioritizes restoring proper bite function and oral health first — aesthetics are addressed as part of the process, not the primary driver. The result is a complete rebuild of a healthy, functional, and attractive dentition.
What to Expect
Comprehensive Assessment
Full records including X-rays, bite analysis, study models, and photographs are taken to understand the full scope of what needs to be addressed.
Treatment Planning
We create a staged treatment plan that sequences procedures logically — extractions and bone grafting before implants, structural repairs before cosmetic work.
Restorative Phase
Depending on your plan, this may include crowns, bridges, implants, root canals, extractions, bone grafts, and gum therapy — all coordinated in the right order.
Stabilization & Maintenance
Once reconstruction is complete, we establish a long-term maintenance protocol to protect your investment and monitor your bite.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does full mouth rehabilitation take?
It depends entirely on the scope of treatment. Some cases are completed in a few months; complex cases involving implants and bone grafting may take 12–18 months or more. We provide a realistic timeline at your planning appointment.
Is full mouth rehab covered by insurance?
Many individual procedures within a rehab plan are covered (crowns, root canals, extractions). Coverage varies significantly by plan. We submit pre-authorization for all major work and provide itemized estimates upfront.
What if I'm afraid of the scope of treatment?
Starting is always the hardest part. We break treatment into manageable phases, and many patients find that once they begin, each appointment is far less daunting than anticipated. We also offer sedation options for anxious patients.
