Full Mouth Rehabilitation is a treatment that combines several approaches to address overall dental, gum, and occlusal problems. It's not just about treating each tooth individually, but about restoring the entire oral system to its natural beauty, strength, and function.

Treatment procedures
1. Diagnosis and planning (1–2 weeks)
- Thorough oral health examination
- Photographs, X-rays, impressions and 3D scans
- Analysis of occlusion, chewing, and facial structure
- Plan treatment together with the patient, possibly with a smile design to see the results in advance.
2. Oral preparation (2–4 weeks depending on the condition of the teeth)
- Treat gum disease, remove tartar and root planing.
- Extraction of teeth that cannot be saved
- Root canal treatment (if necessary)
- Prepare the gums and bone to support the restoration.
3. Dental restoration and alignment (takes several months to 1 year, depending on the case)
- Dental implants: For those who have lost some or all of their teeth.
- Dental Crowns/Veneers: Restore the shape, color, and function of a tooth.
- Orthodontics or Clear Aligner: In some cases, orthodontics may be required to adjust the bite.
- Dental fillings or inlays/onlays: Repair worn or decayed teeth.
4. Insertion of permanent workpiece and adjustment of occlusion (1–2 months)
- After the teeth and gums are ready, a permanent crown, veneer, or bridge will be placed.
- Adjust the bite to be appropriate so that chewing is natural and does not cause further wear and tear.
5. Long-term follow-up and care
- ผู้รับบริการต้องมาพบทันตแพทย์เพื่อตรวจเช็กเป็นระยะ
- Maintain strict oral hygiene.
- Wear a retainer or device to prevent teeth grinding (if at risk).
Total treatment duration
- Small–medium cases: 6–12 months
- Complex cases (e.g., requiring multiple dental implants): 12–24 months or more

summarize
Full Mouth Rehab is not just for aesthetic reasons, but also to restore balance to the entire oral system, including bite, chewing, and gum health. Treatment takes an average of 6 months to 2 years, depending on the condition of each person's teeth. The result is a confident smile and strong, functional teeth that are as close to natural as possible.
