What is Full Mouth Rehabilitation or FMR
Full mouth rehabilitation is an extensive dental treatment that completely rebuilds and restores your entire oral system. This personalized approach goes beyond addressing isolated dental problems—it treats your mouth as an integrated whole, considering how your teeth, gums, bone structure, and jaw joints work together. The process may involve correcting bite alignment issues, replacing lost teeth through implants or dentures, restoring damaged teeth with crowns or veneers, and treating gum disease to create a healthy foundation for all restorative work. The ultimate goal is to achieve optimal oral health, proper function, and an aesthetically pleasing smile.

Rediscover the joy of a perfect smile and flawless functionality with expert Full Mouth Rehabilitation at Olīva Dental. Full Mouth Rehabilitation (FMR) is not merely a dental procedure; it is a transformative journey that simultaneously restores the health, function, and aesthetics of your entire mouth. If you are struggling with multiple missing teeth, severe enamel wear, a collapsed bite, or chronic jaw pain (TMJ disorders), a standard check-up is not enough—you need the specialized expertise of a Prosthodontist.
Steps in Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Step 1: Comprehensive Diagnosis & Treatment Planning
The Blueprint Phase Before we touch a single tooth, we must understand the architecture of your mouth.
Detailed Consultation: We discuss your concerns, medical history, and aesthetic goals.
Advanced Imaging: We utilize OPG X-rays, CBCT (3D Scans), and intraoral photos to assess bone health and tooth structure.
Digital Smile Design (DSD): We create a digital simulation of your future smile so you can visualize the result before starting.
Step 2: Disease Control & Foundation Work
Preparing the Ground A long-lasting restoration requires a healthy foundation. In this phase, we eliminate any active infections or pain.
Cleaning & Gum Therapy: Treating periodontal issues to ensure gums are firm and healthy.
Extractions & Root Canals: Removing hopeless teeth or saving damaged ones with Endodontic treatment.
Implant Placement: If teeth are missing, titanium dental implants are placed during this stage to act as new roots.
Step 3: Provisional Restoration (The "Test Drive")
The Prototype Phase This is the most critical step that distinguishes a Prosthodontist from a general dentist. We do not jump straight to the final teeth.
Temporary Teeth: You are fitted with a set of provisional (temporary) crowns or bridges.
Bite Adjustment: We adjust the height (Vertical Dimension) and alignment of your jaw to ensure TMJ comfort.
Testing Function: You will wear these for a few weeks to test speech, chewing comfort, and aesthetics. If you want changes to the shape or length, we make them here.
Step 4: Final Impressions & Fabrication
The Artistry Phase Once you are 100% happy with the look and feel of your temporary teeth, we move to the final creation.
Precision Scanning: We take highly accurate impressions of your prepared teeth and healed gum tissues.
Lab Fabrication: Our specialized dental lab crafts your permanent crowns, bridges, or hybrid dentures using premium materials like Zirconia or E-max Ceramic for a natural, life-like appearance.
Step 5: Final Fixation & Smile Reveal
The Transformation
Cementation: Dr. Dhirender meticulously bonds the final restorations to your teeth or implants.
Final Occlusal Check: We perform a final check of your bite to ensure forces are evenly distributed.
Night Guard (Splint): To protect your new investment, we often provide a custom night guard to prevent grinding during sleep.
