Full Mouth Rehabilitation

00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:11.840 A candidate for a full mouth restoration with dental implants 00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:17.400 would be somebody who is having a lot of problems with their teeth or has no teeth. 00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:21.480 They may have periodontal disease and severe bone loss, 00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:26.695 or they may have extensive dental cavities, or they may already be 00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:28.460 missing the majority of their teeth. 00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:32.735 With dental implants and a full mouth restoration, and give them back the 00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:35.000 form and cosmetics that they have lost. 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:38.940 Full mouth restoration with dental implants is going to involve many 00:00:38.965 --> 00:00:40.040 times tooth extraction. 00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:46.375 Sometimes we have to reshape the bone, and we will place dental implants and also 00:00:46.400 --> 00:00:50.120 give the patient usually a temporary appliance that they'll wear for 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.160 up to 6 months. 00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:55.815 The nice thing about that for those patients is it's fixed in their mouth, so 00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.020 it's not something that they need to worry about removing. 00:00:58.045 --> 00:01:01.080 They're on a much more limited diet for the first couple of months. 00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:06.375 Then about 6 months later, after all the healing has occurred, we will take 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:13.120 impressions, take records, and make the patient a new permanent appliance.
