At Harmony Dental Care, we provide comprehensive full mouth rehabilitation services for patients who are completely edentulous (toothless). This treatment aims to restore oral function, improve aesthetics, and enhance overall quality of life, offering both implant and non-implant options tailored to your needs. Our dedicated team includes a qualified denturist who works alongside Dr. Mehra to ensure you receive the highest standard of care.

Understanding Edentulism

Edentulism is the complete loss of natural teeth, which may result from various factors, including periodontal disease, dental caries, trauma, or congenital conditions. This condition can significantly affect an individual’s ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

Benefits of Full Mouth Rehabilitation

  1. Enhanced Functionality: Rehabilitation allows for improved chewing and speaking, regardless of the method used.
  2. Aesthetic Improvement: Restorative options are designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth, effectively restoring your smile.
  3. Jawbone Health: Implants stimulate bone growth, while non-implant options may help support oral function and aesthetics.
  4. Long-term Solutions: With proper care, both implant-supported and traditional restorations can provide durable and reliable options.

Treatment Options

Implant-Supported Options

  • Implant-Supported Dentures:
    • A series of implants supporting a complete set of prosthetic teeth, providing stability and improved function.

Non-Implant Options

  1. Conventional Dentures:

    • Complete dentures are removable prosthetic devices that replace all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They are custom-made to fit comfortably and can help restore function and aesthetics.

  2. Immediate Dentures:

    • These are placed immediately after tooth extraction, allowing for a quick restoration of function and aesthetics. They may require adjustments after the healing process.

  3. Overdentures:

    • These are removable dentures that fit over a small number of remaining natural teeth or implants, providing additional stability compared to conventional dentures.

The Rehabilitation Process

  1. Comprehensive Consultation: During your initial visit, Dr. Mehra and our denturist will perform a thorough assessment of your oral health, including diagnostic imaging, to determine the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.
  2. Treatment Planning: Based on your evaluation, we will create a personalized plan that may include a combination of implant-supported and non-implant options.
  3. Implant Placement or Denture Fabrication: If you opt for implants, the surgical procedure will involve placing implants into the jawbone. If you choose non-implant options, our denturist will take impressions to create custom dentures.
  4. Healing Period: For implant procedures, a healing period is required for osseointegration. For conventional dentures, adjustments may be needed during the healing of the gums after tooth extractions.
  5. Final Restoration: Once healing is complete or adjustments are made, we will finalize your restorations to ensure optimal fit and function.

Sedation Options

To ensure a comfortable experience, we offer several sedation options during procedures:

  1. Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A safe sedative that helps alleviate anxiety while keeping you aware of your surroundings.
  2. Oral Sedation: Medication taken prior to the procedure to promote relaxation.
  3. IV Sedation: A deeper sedation option that allows for greater comfort during surgical procedures.

Post-Operative Care

Following your procedure, we will provide specific aftercare instructions, which may include:

  • Rest and Recovery: Adequate rest is vital for proper healing.
  • Pain Management: Recommendations for over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribed medications as needed.
  • Dietary Guidance: Starting with a soft-food diet and gradually returning to regular foods as healing progresses.
  • Oral Hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for supporting healing and the longevity of your restorations.
