About full mouth rehabilitation
Full mouth rehabilitation is not a single procedure. It is a treatment plan that brings several kinds of dental care together so your teeth, gums and bite work well as a whole. People often need it after years of grinding, acid wear from reflux, untreated decay, old dental work breaking down, or a mix of missing teeth.
Planning comes first. Your dentist gathers X-rays, photos, impressions and bite records, and checks your gums and jaw joints. Gum disease and active infections are usually treated before anything else, because new crowns or bridges need a healthy foundation. If teeth are badly worn, your dentist may need to study how your bite has changed before rebuilding tooth height. In some cases a trial set of temporary teeth is used first, so you can test the new bite and shape.
Treatment is usually split into phases to keep each visit manageable and to fit your budget and insurance year. Some care may involve our periodontist, Dr. Ranjbari, for gum treatment, and some complex surgical steps may be referred outside the clinic. Your dentist will explain who does each part and why.

Aftercare
- If you grind or clench, wear the night guard your dentist recommends to protect new crowns and bridges.

- Clean carefully around crowns, bridges and implants with floss, interdental brushes or a water flosser as shown.
Other options
Not everyone needs or wants a full plan at once. Your dentist can focus on urgent problems first and stage other work over time. For teeth that cannot be saved, dentures or implant-supported dentures may be a simpler path than restoring every tooth.
Cost and coverage
Because full mouth rehabilitation combines many treatments, the total depends on which procedures you need and how many teeth are involved. Each procedure is priced with reference to the ODA suggested fee guide, and we can phase the work to make the most of your insurance year. If you have CDCP coverage, ask us which parts it may apply to. We provide a written estimate for each phase, and LendCare payment plans can help spread the cost.
Our promise: we confirm your coverage and explain the cost before treatment.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation FAQ
How long does full mouth rehabilitation take?
It depends on how much work is needed and whether healing time is required, such as after extractions or implants. Many plans take several months, and some run longer. Your dentist will give you an expected timeline in your treatment plan.
Can I do treatment in stages?
Yes. Most full mouth plans are done in phases. Urgent problems like infection or pain are handled first, and other work can follow when you are ready. Staging also helps some people use their insurance over more than one year.
Will I have to go without teeth during treatment?
Your dentist will plan to avoid this wherever possible. Temporary crowns, bridges or dentures are often used between stages so you can eat and smile while the final work is made.
What if I feel nervous about a lot of dental work?
That is very common. We explain each step before we start, and you can ask us to pause at any time. Ask us about comfort options, including sedation, when you book.
How do I know if I need a full plan or just a few fixes?
A full exam is the only way to tell. Your dentist will look at the health of each tooth, your gums and your bite, then explain whether a broad plan or targeted repairs make more sense for you.
