Complex rehabilitation is needed when several problems accumulate: teeth worn by grinding or acid, missing teeth that let their neighbours drift, a low bite that changes the face, old crowns and bridges that leak. The treatment is one plan for both jaws — sometimes combining implants, crowns, bridges and gum treatment — carried out in stages, with a provisional restoration that tests everything before the permanent one is made.
Signs it is a complex rehabilitation
- The front teeth have shortened and the smile has “disappeared”
- Jaw pain, grinding, sensitive or cracked teeth
- Many old crowns and fillings failing one after another
- Missing teeth in several areas and other teeth tilting into the gaps
- Difficulty chewing on both sides
- A face that looks “short” or lips that fold inward
How it is done
Comprehensive diagnosis first — X-rays, CT, scan, photographs, analysis of the bite and jaw joints — then a visualisation of the new smile and bite that you approve. Then stabilisation: gums, extractions, implants. Only on a stable foundation do we build — first the whole mouth in provisionals, testing chewing, speech and appearance until it is right, then a copy in zirconia.
How long it takes
From a few weeks (without implants) to 6–12 months (with implants and bone grafts). Throughout, you have teeth — provisional, but functional and good-looking. Appointments are planned in advance and the schedule is known.
Frequently asked questions
Implant overdenture or fixed bridge — which is better?
A fixed bridge feels closest to natural teeth. An implant overdenture costs less, needs fewer implants and less bone, supports the lips well and comes out for cleaning. For many people it is the right solution. We decide together based on the mouth, habits and budget.
Zirconia or porcelain?
Monolithic zirconia — the strongest, for molars and bridges. Porcelain on zirconia — the most aesthetic, for the smile zone. E.max — for single front crowns. Usually we combine by area.
How long does full-mouth rehabilitation take?
Without implants — a few weeks. With implants — 4–9 months, and with bone grafts up to a year. Throughout, you have functioning provisional teeth.
My teeth are worn from grinding. What can be done?
A rehabilitation that restores bite height and tooth length — crowns or veneers — together with a night guard that protects the result. Everything is tested in provisionals before the permanent restoration.
How many visits is a full-mouth rehabilitation?
Without implants: 6–8 visits over one or two months. With implants you add the surgery and the healing months, but the number of visits itself does not grow much. Most are short — the long ones are the surgery and the try-in of the provisionals.
Can the bite be raised without touching every tooth?
Sometimes — with crowns or onlays on the back teeth only, and the front teeth adjusted with light reshaping. It depends on how much has worn and where. When it is a little, a partial solution. When the face has already “shortened”, it is the whole mouth, and there is no way around it.
Do the provisionals look good, or am I walking around “under construction”?
Our provisionals are your new teeth in a test version: same shape, same shade, different material. People go to weddings in them. That is what they are for — to test in real life before copying to zirconia.
How does this work alongside my regular dentist?
Well. We do the rehabilitation; your family dentist carries on with cleanings, fillings and whatever is outside our field. We send them a summary letter with the implant passport, and if they want, we talk to them directly.
Want to know if immediate loading is right for you?
A first consultation at any network clinic includes an exam, a reading of your scan and an explanation of the options — no obligation.
