When there's a lot to do, you don't need courage for the first step, just a plan you understand.
Full mouth rehabilitation is the step-by-step restoration of chewing function, dental health and appearance, in one coordinated overall plan tailored to your situation.

Oral RehabilitationFull Mouth Rehabilitation
Some call it a complete overhaul, others full mouth rehabilitation, it always means the same thing: a build plan for the whole mouth, not a single procedure. People who face this path often arrive with their own story:
You haven't been to a dentist in a long time, and making the call kept getting harder.
Several teeth need care. Where do you even start?
Your teeth are badly worn, chewing and smiling have become harder.
After losing teeth, you want one coherent solution, not patchwork.
Whatever brings you here:
we start where you are.
Just talking, looking, listening. No treatment at your first appointment. That's our promise.
Examination, imaging, understanding your starting point together.
Options, sequence, timeframe and the costs, as far as they can be quantified at the start, broken down before treatment begins.
Carried out in stages that build on each other: first the foundation, then bite and final restoration. You have a say in the spacing between stages.
Aftercare and preventive care secure the result.
A full mouth rehabilitation usually brings several funding paths together: the fixed public-insurance subsidy for tooth replacement, the periodontitis treatment guideline, in some cases a public-insurance contribution for a functional splint. How much comes out of pocket depends on the individual case, so we deliberately give no figure here: before treatment begins, you'll have your overall plan, bringing both parts together and breaking them down as far as they can be quantified at the start. The tooth-replacement share can only be estimated initially, because which teeth will carry the restoration only becomes clear once the foundation has healed; the insurance cost plan is then prepared for each stage, and the oral surgery partner's services appear in their own plan. Whether and which costs would be private for you, we clarify in conversation.
Private, out-of-pocket portions typically come in with a bite raise, an extensive functional analysis, with aligners, veneers or whitening, and with implants. The more extensive your plan, the larger this portion tends to be.
The statutory two-year warranty applies to tooth replacement, for each restoration from the day it's individually placed, not only at the end of the whole plan. And if a finding changes the plan along the way, we tell you before we continue.
An overall plan isn't the right path for everyone. Whether it is doesn't show on the phone or at a first glance in your mouth, only once we have the findings, and sometimes the honest answer is that two separate treatments are enough. We'll say so, even when it's the smaller solution: an overall approach that does more than necessary is overtreatment, and we deliberately avoid that.
If the problems stand on their own and can be solved well individually, each treatment belongs where it belongs.
Individual treatment
If a problem can be solved well on its own, a filling, a root canal, a single crown, individual treatment is the right choice, not the bigger plan. Details are under Fillings & Inlays or Root Canal Treatment.
Periodontal treatment
If gum inflammation is the only issue, you don't need an overall plan, just targeted Periodontal Treatment, it runs on its own, regardless of whether something else comes up later.
Tooth replacement
If your remaining teeth are healthy and only the replacement for lost teeth is missing, targeted treatment is enough, details are under our Tooth Replacement services. Only once your own teeth and replacement need to be planned together does it become an overall plan.
An overall plan doesn't mean the most elaborate solution, it means the right one, in the right order. Where less is enough, we say so openly.
Whether full mouth rehabilitation is the right path for you or a single treatment is enough, we'll work that out together.
Zahngesundheit verstehen, Entscheidung leben.
Depending on scope, anywhere from a few months to well over a year: in plannable stages, not all at once. What mostly determines the timing is healing and waiting periods, which can't be shortened; a fixed number of appointments can't be given upfront because of that. What we can say: appointments are spread across the whole period, they don't come all at once, and a single appointment can run from around half an hour to several hours. The timeframe is laid out in your plan before anything starts.
No. The plan runs in phases that build on each other, and much of it can deliberately be spread out over time. It's fine to leave a month or two between two treatment steps if that suits you better, what matters is only that it keeps moving forward steadily.
Usually not. A visible restoration is planned throughout the transition period: an interim restoration after a tooth extraction, a long-term temporary for a bite raise. The interim restoration has its own cost item, which we list in the overall plan so it's never a surprise later. If a brief exception should ever occur at some point, we'll tell you beforehand.
Not right at the start. First it has to be clear which teeth can be kept; that only becomes clear once inflammation has been treated and healed. With a bite raise, you'll then wear a long-term temporary that shows the new bite position and appearance in everyday life for at least three months, anything you don't like about it is still adjusted before anything final is made. Without a bite raise, the planned result can be shown in advance on request as a model and a trial build-up in the mouth (mock-up); that's a separate private service that falls due before the final restoration, even if you decide differently afterwards.
Much of the process doesn't hurt at all: the consultation, the fittings, the check-ups. What's usually uncomfortable rather than painful is measuring gum pockets around inflamed gums and, depending on the situation, a traditional impression; both are over quickly. The steps where it's needed are done under local anaesthetic. We don't promise a blanket "painless", but we tell you beforehand what to expect.
No, that's one of the most common reasons people put off an appointment. The first appointment is a conversation about the way forward, not a judgement of the past. How it got to this point doesn't matter. What matters is the best path from here.
