Full Mouth Rehabilitation Lucas
Helping Your Smile Feel & Function at Its Best
Full mouth rehabilitation is about much more than addressing aesthetic issues with the teeth; it’s actually often recommended for patients who are experiencing all kinds of dental problems, including those that restrict the airway and lead to sleep apnea, as well as those impacting the health and function of the teeth. However, in many cases, we’re able to put together treatment plans that address cosmetic dental issues alongside health-related ones. Call our Lucas dental office today to learn more about full mouth rehabilitation and if you may be a good candidate for it!

Do I Need Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
The best way to know for sure if you can benefit from full mouth rehabilitation is by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Hubler at Lucas Family Dentistry. During this visit, our team will review your medical and dental history and discuss your goals and lifestyle, while also carefully examining your mouth and capturing scans and images of your facial anatomy. From there, a custom-made treatment plan can be put together. Full mouth rehabilitation is generally recommended in these situations:
- You’re experiencing neuromuscular dental problems as a result of missing or damaged teeth.
- You have extensive dental concerns that would require multiple treatments to address.
- You’re suffering from problems like TMJ disorder.
- You have outdated or failed dental restorations.
- You’re suffering from a restricted airway that’s causing sleep apnea.
Our Full Mouth Rehabilitation Process
Once we’ve confirmed that you’re a good candidate for full mouth rehabilitation, we’ll structure your treatments around your budget and ideal timeline. That said, the overall length of your treatment plan will vary depending on how many procedures you require and their extent. If you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment to reposition your jaw and bite, these timelines tend to span several months or years. For restorative and cosmetic dentistry services, many can be completed in as little as a single or couple of appointments at our dental office near Parker, depending on what’s involved.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation FAQs
How long does a full mouth rehabilitation procedure take?
Because each smile is unique, the exact length of your full mouth rehabilitation in Lucas will depend on a variety of factors. Mostly, these will involve the number of teeth you need to treat, and which types of treatments will be provided.
In some cases, Dr. Hubler may be able to combine multiple treatments into one appointment like having a metal filling replaced with a tooth-colored filling, whereas other procedures may need to be spaced farther apart, such as getting a dental implant after an extraction.
If you are trying to complete your full mouth rehabilitation to coincide with an upcoming special event such as a wedding or graduation, please let Dr. Hubler and the team know at your consultation so that we can factor your timeline into your treatment plan!
Do I need a full mouth rehabilitation?
If your mouth has sustained severe damage that cannot be fixed with one simple treatment, Dr. Hubler may recommend a full mouth rehabilitation package.
Full mouth rehabilitation in Lucas can include any two or more treatments that restore both the appearance and function of your smile. However, the final decision regarding which treatments to get and when to get them is entirely up to you!
How long will my full mouth rehabilitation results last?
The answer to this question depends on which treatments you’ll be receiving, and how committed you are to caring for the results.
For some procedures such as professional whitening, although the results are considered permanent, your teeth can still easily become re-stained. Other procedures such as veneers can last for decades with proper care.
To give your full mouth rehabilitation results the best chance for lasting as long as possible, be sure to adhere to the following guidelines:
- Brush your teeth twice a day, and floss daily.
- Visit Dr. Hubler every six months for your regular dental checkups and cleanings.
- Don’t eat anything that might chip or damage your teeth or restorations, such as hard candies or ice cubes.
- Avoid drinking darkly pigmented beverages like coffee, cola, or red wine.
- Don’t smoke, vape, or use tobacco products.
- Never use your teeth for anything but food: no tearing open packaging, biting your nails, or gnawing on pen caps with them!
- Should you experience any persistent tooth pain, bleeding gums, or periodontal inflammation, contact Dr. Hubler as soon as possible for an urgent appointment.
Does getting a full mouth rehabilitation hurt?
Fear of dental pain is one of the top reasons people don’t visit their dentist regularly, but this can easily make matters worse! Thankfully, Dr. Hubler understands this, and is committed to making your treatment as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
For full mouth rehabilitation treatments in Lucas that are more complex or painful, rest assured that the first step will always be to numb your mouth.
Following some procedures, soreness and discomfort are a normal part of the healing process and may take several days or weeks to subside. Rest assured that following your procedure(s) Dr. Hubler will provide you with a complete set of aftercare instructions that will explain in greater detail what you can expect, as well as some tips for minimizing discomfort and speeding up the healing process, too.
You can always do your part to make your recovery more comfortable by eating a soft diet for a few days after treatment, avoiding anything too hot, cold, or spicy, and limiting strenuous physical activity for at least 24 hours.
