What are the advantages of undergoing full mouth rehabilitation?

When it comes to restoring several teeth with dental implants, dentists mainly prefer to work with implant-supported bridges. Such bridges can substitute the teeth not including any support from the adjoining innate teeth. On the other hand, detachable partial dentures or permanent bridges can also be used for replacing multiple teeth but they need support from the adjacent teeth. Another distinct advantage of using implant-supported bridges while replacing multiple teeth is that as they tend to replace some of the previously existing tooth roots, the bone is preserved in a better way. However, if removable partial denture or fixed bridge are used, the bone which previously surrounded teeth root might start deteriorate after some point of time. Dental implants can integrate seamlessly with the jawbone, thereby helping to maintain the bone intact and healthy for a long time. Here are steps for placing dental implant in Ahmedabad at Aashu Dental Clinic:
  • Improved chewing efficiency
  • Enhanced esthetic
Patients who have many missing teeth or severe deterioration of most teeth, may require a full mouth reconstruction using a combination of restorations, veneers, crowns, bridges, dental implants or partial dentures. The oral cavity is a dynamic environment where changes constantly occur, sometimes quickly but more often slowly over time. Changes can be due to a traumatic accident, periodontal disease, shifting teeth, a lifetime of neglect, a destructive habit such as grinding, or a lifetime of dentistry focusing on one tooth at a time and leaving the mouth resembling a patchwork quilt. Full-mouth reconstruction, by its very nature can be extremely complex. Dental techniques and technologies have come a long way in the past 30 years and patients are often surprised by what can be done. Correct diagnosis and analysis is important to identify and address the causes of the problems in the treatment plan. Treatment is often a non-surgical, comprehensive approach to getting the upper and lower jaws in proper alignment, removing all decay, repairing all chipped, weakened, and broken teeth, and ultimately, creating a healthy, attractive smile that will last for many years. Once this treatment is completed you can expect a mouth that looks great, feels comfortable, and gives you the confidence to smile. If you are experiencing bite-related problems, feel that your teeth or gums have been allowed to deteriorate or feel your mouth is in poor condition, a full-mouth reconstruction may be the appropriate solution. Our patient here chose a non-surgical option for personal reasons. The patient presented with inadequately fitting upper partial denture and an incorrectly instituted treatment plan resulting over a period of time: multiple loss of teeth that resulted in loss of jaw bone and facial height resulting in an accelerated ageing appearance. We solved the problem by improving the facial height (raising the bite), improving the upper smile line using a combination of porcelain veneers, upper and lower precision milled, highly aesthetic and firm partial dentures to restore the following:
  • Facial and dental aesthetics
  • Comfort
  • Function
Tooth Replacement Options Some of the general advantages and disadvantages of single to multiple tooth replacement options are listed below.
Title Advantages Disadvantages
Removable Partial Dentures
  • Removable – easy to clean

  • Cost-effective option

  • Minimal tooth reduction required

  • Reduced comfort

  • Possible clasp display

  • Gaps visible when removed

  • Some patients may find them uncomfortable

  • Food traps can lead to decay if not maintained

Implant Replacement
  • No tooth reduction required

  • Easy to clean – similar to natural teeth

  • Failure affects only the implant

  • Minimal biological intervention

  • Requires minor surgical procedure

  • Higher initial cost (but long-term cost-effective)

  • May need bone grafting in cases of bone loss

Fixed Bridgework
  • Ideal when adjacent teeth already need crowns

  • Requires irreversible tooth reduction

  • Difficult cleaning – risk of gum infection

  • Failure can damage supporting teeth

  • Higher biological cost over time

The goal of treatment is to properly align the jaw and rebuild damaged teeth.. Teeth are restored with veneers, crowns, or onlays. Depending on the patient, a prosthesis may be used. The result is an attractively enhanced smile using urable materials that will stand the tests of time. Best Dentist in Ahmedabad will help you decide an appropriate treatment plan. This is where the full mouth rehabilitation specialist really shines. Though the specific techniques may vary depending on your needs, our dentist will ensure that the end result is the same-a lovely smile and a more confident you.
