For some patients, a single filling or a lone crown isn’t enough to restore oral health. When widespread decay, trauma, or years of wear have compromised most of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, a full mouth reconstruction (or full mouth rehabilitation) becomes necessary.
At Novo Dental Clinic in Addis Ababa, we treat full mouth reconstruction as a specialized journey that blends science, technology, and artistry to give you a fresh start.
Who is a Candidate for Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full mouth reconstruction is often recommended for patients experiencing:
- Multiple missing teeth due to decay or injury.
- Teeth that are severely worn down from long-term acid erosion or chronic grinding (bruxism).
- Frequent, widespread pain in the jaw joints or headaches related to a misaligned bite.
- Advanced periodontal disease that has weakened the foundation of the smile.
The Components of a Reconstruction Plan
Because every mouth is unique, the treatment plan is entirely bespoke. It often involves a combination of several restorative and cosmetic procedures:
- Restorative: Using dental crowns, inlays/onlays, or bridges to rebuild damaged teeth.
- Implant Dentistry: Replacing missing teeth with standalone implants or implant-supported dentures.
- Endodontics: Performing root canal therapy to save salvageable teeth.
- Periodontics: Strengthening the gum and bone tissue to provide a stable foundation.
The Multi-Phase Process
Rebuilding a smile isn’t an overnight task. At our clinic near Lem Hotel, we break the process into manageable phases. We begin with a comprehensive 3D digital scan to map out the ideal bite and aesthetic. We then address urgent infections or pain before moving into the restorative phase. Each step is carefully timed to ensure your comfort and the long-term success of the work.
