Full Mouth Rehabilitation
A complete, staged reconstruction of a worn-down or dysfunctional bite — restoring every tooth to work in harmony again.
What Is Full Mouth Rehabilitation (FMR)?
Full mouth rehabilitation (FMR) is a comprehensive, staged reconstruction of a bite that’s been compromised by extensive wear, multiple missing or broken teeth, or long-standing TMJ dysfunction — rebuilding every tooth’s shape, position and function so they work together correctly again.
Dr. Ruchi Lohia leads FMR cases, sequencing crowns, implants, root canal treatment and bite equilibration into a single coordinated plan rather than treating each tooth as a separate problem.
- Restores function across an entire compromised bite, not just single teeth
- Addresses the underlying cause, not just symptoms
- Combines implants, crowns and RCT into one coordinated plan
- Improves both chewing function and facial appearance
- Long-term solution for years of untreated dental wear
Signs You May Need Full Mouth Rehabilitation
- Widespread tooth wear from grinding or acid erosion
- Multiple missing, broken or heavily filled teeth
- Chronic jaw pain or TMJ dysfunction affecting the bite
- Patients who’ve avoided treatment for years and now need comprehensive care
Not sure if this applies to you? A short consultation will confirm — there’s no obligation to proceed.
What Happens, Step by Step
Full Diagnostic Workup
Photographs, X-rays, bite records and models capture the complete picture of your current bite.
Case Planning
Every tooth's role in the final bite is planned — which need crowns, implants, RCT or extraction.
Foundational Treatment
Root canal treatment, extractions, periodontal therapy and bone grafting are completed first.
Restorative Phase
Crowns, bridges and implant restorations are placed in a coordinated sequence.
Bite Equilibration
Final adjustments ensure all restored teeth meet evenly, protecting the whole reconstruction long-term.
Common Questions About Full Mouth Rehabilitation
FMR plans every restoration in relation to the others — the final bite, jaw position and appearance are designed as one system, rather than fixing teeth individually without regard to how they meet.
Most cases run from 3 months to over a year, depending on how many teeth are involved and whether implants or bone grafting are part of the plan.
Each stage uses standard local anaesthesia and recovery protocols — because the case is staged, you're never facing everything at once.
Initially yes, as your muscles and jaw adapt to the new, corrected bite — this settles within a few weeks, and adjustments are made if anything feels off.
