Full mouth rehabilitation is for the patient whose teeth have been repaired piecemeal for two decades, with a crown here, an extraction there and a bridge that failed, until the bite no longer works as a system. Severe wear from grinding, multiple missing teeth, a collapsed vertical dimension, or long-standing acid erosion all lead to the same place.
The distinguishing feature is that it is planned as one case rather than a sequence of repairs. Mounted study models, a face-bow record, and a diagnostic wax-up establish where the bite should be before any treatment starts. The restorations are then built to that position.
It is the most demanding work in dentistry and is led here by an MDS prosthodontist, with the orthodontist, endodontist and surgeon involved in planning where their input is needed. The in-house CAD/CAM lab matters more on these cases than any other. Dozens of units have to be fabricated, tried, adjusted and re-milled, and doing that with an external lab adds months.
You probably need this if…
- Teeth are severely worn down, short or flattened
- Multiple missing teeth across both jaws
- Your bite feels wrong or has changed over the years
- Frequent fractures of teeth or existing restorations
- Jaw joint pain, clicking or headaches on waking
- Your face looks shorter or the chin appears to have come forward
Recognising two or more of these does not confirm a diagnosis. It means an examination is worth booking before the problem gets more expensive.
How the treatment works
- 01 Comprehensive records
Full-mouth radiographs, CBCT, photographs, digital scans, face-bow transfer and mounted study models.
- 02 Diagnostic wax-up
The proposed new bite is built in wax on the mounted models. This is the blueprint the entire case is built to.
- 03 Provisional phase
You wear temporary restorations at the new bite position for several weeks. If the jaw joint and muscles do not tolerate it, it is corrected in plastic, not in ceramic.
- 04 Foundation work
Root canals, extractions, implants, bone grafts and periodontal treatment carried out in a planned sequence.
- 05 Final restorations
Zirconia and ceramic units milled in-house, tried in as a set, and cemented once the bite is verified.
What full mouth rehabilitation costs in Lucknow
Full mouth rehabilitation cost in Lucknow depends on the teeth that can be retained, the restorations or implants needed and the work required to rebuild the bite. It is a phased treatment plan, so a single per-tooth figure cannot describe the complete case.
Your written estimate sets out the recommended treatment and any separate charges. The guide below explains what to check before agreeing to the plan.
