Full Mouth Rehabilitation in Reddick
When several teeth are worn down, broken, missing, or aching at the same time, fixing one problem at a time can feel like chasing your tail. A cracked molar gets a crown, then a front tooth chips, then chewing starts to hurt on the other side. Full mouth rehabilitation takes a different approach: we step back, look at every tooth, your gums, and the way your jaw works together, and build one coordinated plan. For patients in Reddick, that means fewer scattered appointments and a clear path from where your mouth is today to where you want it to be.
Full mouth rehabilitation, sometimes called full mouth reconstruction, is the planned restoration of the upper and lower teeth using a combination of treatments. Depending on what we find, that may include crowns, bridges, veneers, onlays, composite bonding, root canal therapy, gum disease treatment, extractions, bone grafting, dental implants, or dentures. The goal is to rebuild healthy function and a comfortable bite, with appearance improved along the way.
People come to us for this kind of care for many different reasons. Some have lived with years of grinding that flattened their back teeth. Some had an accident or an untreated infection that cascaded into several failing restorations. Others have advanced gum disease, old crowns and fillings that have reached the end of their life, or teeth missing in both arches that have let the remaining teeth shift. Because our office handles general, restorative, cosmetic, periodontal, endodontic, orthodontic, oral surgery, prosthodontic, and orofacial pain care under one roof, Reddick patients don't have to assemble a team of separate offices to get a complete result.
Your first visit is an evaluation, not a sales pitch. We take a full set of records, complete a thorough dental exam, perform an oral cancer screening, and check the health of your gums and supporting bone. We also look at how your teeth meet — jaw clicking, locking, limited opening, jaw-related headaches, or chronic facial pain all matter here, and we treat TMJ/TMD concerns as part of the overall picture rather than as an afterthought.
From there, Dr. Hussein Salifu and Dr. Marco Geris walk you through the findings and lay out the sequence. Most plans move in phases: first stabilize anything urgent or painful, then address gum health and any needed extractions or bone grafting, then rebuild the teeth, and finally refine the bite and finish the cosmetic details. Some patients need clear aligners or Invisalign first to position teeth properly before restorations are placed. You'll know what each phase involves and roughly how the visits are spaced before anything begins.
- A comfortable bite that distributes chewing forces more evenly
- Replacement of missing teeth with implants, bridges, or implant-supported dentures
- Treatment of active decay, infection, and gum disease
- Restorations shaped and shaded as part of one unified smile design
- Fewer surprise emergencies than treating problems one at a time
- Options for nitrous oxide or oral sedation for longer or more involved appointments
What the Treatment Phase Looks Like
Having an on-site dental lab changes the day-to-day experience considerably. We can produce same-day crowns, fabricate dentures, and handle denture repairs in house, which cuts down on temporary restorations and return trips — a real convenience when you're driving in from Reddick. It also lets us fine-tune shape, fit, and color with the lab right here rather than shipping a case out and waiting.
For patients missing many or all teeth, options may include full arch dental implants, All-on-4, Teeth In A Day, implant-supported bridges, snap-in dentures, or conventional complete and partial dentures. Where bone volume is limited, bone grafting or sinus lift surgery may come first. We also offer emergency and same-day emergency appointments, so if something breaks or flares up mid-treatment, you're not left waiting.
Aftercare, Cost, and Getting Started
A rebuilt mouth needs upkeep. We'll set you up with professional cleanings and periodontal maintenance at the interval that fits your gum health, plus fluoride treatment when it's helpful and a night guard if grinding was part of what wore your teeth down. Implants get ongoing implant maintenance, and we'll show you how to clean around bridges and implant-supported restorations at home.
We accept all major PPO insurance plans and file claims as a general practitioner, which keeps the paperwork simple even when your plan includes specialty-type procedures. We also welcome self-pay and cash patients and offer flexible payment plans so larger cases can be spread out. Many patients choose to complete treatment in stages for budgeting reasons, and we're glad to build the plan that way.
