Rebuilding worn, broken smiles
A staged, tooth-preserving plan to restore function, comfort and appearance across every tooth that needs attention
A full mouth rehabilitation is a planned series of treatments to restore teeth that have been worn down, broken, heavily filled or lost over time. It is usually considered when problems affect several teeth at once and a one-at-a-time approach will not settle the bite or give a consistent appearance. Most cases run across several months and are designed around preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible.
What to know
- Every case starts with a detailed assessment of your teeth, gums, bite and jaw joints before any treatment is planned.
- Digital scan of your mouth, not putty impressions, and work with a skilled dental ceramist in the lab.
- We typically place a set of lab-made provisionals so you can trial the look and bite for a period before committing to final ceramic.
- Gum treatment and implant work (with Dr Neil Cooper) is handled in-house. No onward referral for the main stages.
How a rehabilitation runs
Consultation and records
Photos, digital scan, X-rays where needed, and a thorough bite and jaw check. Nothing is treated at this visit.
Digital planning and on-screen preview
Your scans are used to design the whole case before anything is prepared, with you in the room.
Written treatment plan
A staged plan in writing with an itemised fee schedule, so you see what each stage costs before agreeing to anything.
Foundation work
In-house gum treatment, replacing failing fillings, settling any active decay, and any tooth replacement with implants (with Dr Neil Cooper) handled in-house.
Lab-made provisionals
A set of temporary ceramic restorations placed in your mouth so you can trial the aesthetics and the bite. You wear them, we refine shape and length if needed, and only commit to final ceramic once you are happy.
Final restorations
The approved provisional design transfers to hand-crafted final ceramic by our ceramist. Preparation and fit appointments are typically one week apart.
Bite check and nightguard
Once the new restorations are in, we fine-tune how the teeth meet and, for most patients, make a custom nightguard to protect the work from grinding.
Long-term maintenance
Regular reviews and hygiene visits help the result hold up over time.
What this looks like in practice
Preserves your tooth
We rebuild with composite and ceramic onlays before considering crowns. Your natural enamel is the best material.
Trial before final
Lab-made provisionals let you test the look and bite before we commit to ceramic. Fewer surprises.
Digital and precise
Intraoral scans replace putty impressions. The whole case is designed digitally before anything is prepared.
In-house gum and implant care
Gum treatment and implant work (with Dr Neil Cooper) are both handled at Crossbank. No need to be referred out for the main stages.
Staged and predictable
Treatment is broken into clear stages so you can see progress, ask questions, and pause if life gets in the way.
Protected long term
A custom nightguard and planned reviews help the restorations hold up.
Frequently Asked Questions
It is a coordinated plan to restore teeth across the whole mouth rather than fixing them one by one. The aim is a comfortable bite, healthy gums, and a natural-looking result.
