Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation refers to oral rehabilitation, which is a comprehensive approach to restoring the health, function, and aesthetics of a patient’s mouth. This often involves a combination of restorative and cosmetic treatments to address multiple dental issues.
Oral rehabilitation may include:
- Restoring teeth that are decayed, broken, or worn out (through fillings, crowns, etc.).
- Replacing missing teeth with implants, bridges, or dentures.
- Improving bite and jaw function for patients with issues like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
- Correcting severe aesthetic problems such as misaligned teeth or gums.
- Restoring function to the teeth and mouth for better chewing, speaking, and overall oral health.
Essentially, dental rehabilitation is a holistic approach designed to restore a patient’s full dental health, ensuring that both function and appearance are optimized. It often requires a treatment plan that spans several stages, tailored to the specific needs of the patient.
