Whole-Mouth Planning
What Is Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full mouth rehabilitation is a custom treatment plan that rebuilds oral health, chewing function, bite support, and smile appearance. It may combine Dental crowns Tempe AZ restorations, implants, bridges, veneers, fillings, bite planning, or other care depending on what your mouth needs.

Patient Fit
Who May Need Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
You may be a candidate if you have multiple damaged or missing teeth, worn teeth from grinding or bite issues, older dentistry that is failing, or difficulty chewing comfortably. Many patients also want to improve smile appearance while addressing the functional causes behind the problem.

- Chewing has become uncomfortable or limited

Clear Expectations
Full Mouth Rehabilitation vs Smile Makeover
Both can improve the smile, but they begin from different priorities. Some patients need one, and some need a blend of both.
Smile makeover
A smile makeover is primarily cosmetic. It may focus on tooth color, shape, symmetry, and visible smile design when the bite and tooth structure are otherwise stable.
Full mouth rehabilitation
Full mouth rehabilitation combines functional, restorative, and cosmetic reconstruction. It is used when worn, broken, missing, or failing teeth require a whole-mouth plan.

How long does full mouth rehabilitation take?
Timing depends on your treatment plan. Some plans may be completed in weeks, while more complex cases involving implants, bite changes, or multiple phases may take several months.
Is full mouth rehabilitation the same as a smile makeover?
No. A smile makeover is usually cosmetic, while full mouth rehabilitation addresses function, tooth structure, missing teeth, bite stability, and appearance. Some patients benefit from both approaches.
What treatments are included?
Your plan may include crowns, bridges, dental implants, veneers, fillings, bite adjustment, or TMJ-related evaluation when appropriate. The exact combination is personalized after an exam and consultation.
Is full mouth rehabilitation painful?
Comfort is an important part of planning. Dr. Smallwood will review what to expect for each phase and discuss options to help you stay comfortable during treatment.
Can it help with worn-down teeth?
Yes. Full mouth rehabilitation can rebuild worn-down teeth and evaluate the bite issues, grinding, or structural concerns that may have contributed to the wear.
Can it replace missing teeth?
Yes. Missing teeth may be replaced with dental implants, bridges, or other options depending on your oral health, bone support, bite, and goals.
