Oral Rehabilitation
Multidisciplinary Treatments
Oral rehabilitations often involve the use of several dental specialties, which is why we refer to these as multidisciplinary treatments.
They usually require direct or indirect intervention on all teeth, often combining the placement of implants with the simultaneous rehabilitation of both natural teeth and implants.
Due to their complexity, these treatments are time-consuming, often extending over several months and, in some cases, more than a year.
The goal of complex rehabilitations is to restore normal chewing function, replace missing teeth, rejuvenate facial appearance, and give patients back their smile.
Tooth Wear
Tooth wear is a natural physiological process that occurs throughout life. However, in some individuals, it can manifest more severely, leading to the near-complete loss of tooth crowns, changes in tooth color and shape, significant alterations in the smile and facial appearance, and an accelerated aging effect, among other problems.
Marked or severe tooth wear can be reversed through oral rehabilitation treatment with ceramic crowns or veneers on the affected teeth.
The goal of this treatment is simple: to restore the shape and color of worn teeth, rejuvenate the smile, and protect the teeth and surrounding structures against future wear.
Gummy Smile
Showing gums when smiling is relatively common and, in most cases, is actually a positive trait, as it conveys a more youthful appearance to the smile and the face.
However, in some cases, a gummy smile is the result of jaw growth patterns or tooth eruption issues. In these situations, it can negatively affect appearance and lead to self-esteem problems.
Despite producing a radical change in appearance, the treatment for a gummy smile is, in most cases, relatively simple. In the first stage, the length of the teeth is increased through a minor surgical procedure. In the second stage, the teeth are restored with veneers or ceramic crowns. The results are often spectacular, especially when comparing before and after.
Unaesthetic Old Crowns
Sometimes older treatments need to be redone—not because they were poorly executed, but simply because everything has a lifespan, and dental treatments are no exception.
A complex, well-executed treatment with ceramic crowns that are 20 to 30 years old may start to show signs of aging. These can include natural gum recession exposing the roots, outdated crown color that does not change over time, or shapes that are no longer suitable for the smile. All of these may indicate the need for retreatment.
In such cases, the old crowns are removed and replaced with new ceramic crowns, correcting the identified problems and restoring both function and aesthetics.
Complex Oral Rehabilitations
Complex oral rehabilitations are procedures that require a comprehensive and integrated vision of the patient's oral health. When there are multiple needs—such as severely worn teeth, missing teeth, bite problems, fractures, or poorly adapted previous treatments—a multidisciplinary and highly personalized approach becomes essential.
These rehabilitations may involve different areas of dentistry, including fixed and removable prosthodontics, implantology, dental aesthetics, periodontology, orthodontics, and more. The coordinated work between these specialties ensures that the final solution is stable, predictable, and as conservative as possible of the natural teeth.
Every treatment plan is unique. We prioritize a philosophy of clinical excellence, respect for dental tissues, and the use of state-of-the-art materials capable of faithfully reproducing the strength and beauty of natural teeth.
If you are looking for a complete, demanding, and technically advanced rehabilitation, here you will find the experience, precision, and dedication needed to achieve a result that combines science, art, and functionality.
Your Questions Answered
What is Oral Rehabilitation?
Oral rehabilitation is a set of treatments designed to restore chewing function, aesthetics, and overall oral health. It may involve the replacement of missing teeth, the use of implants, prostheses, and other personalized procedures to bring back comfort and harmony to the smile.
Who can benefit from oral rehabilitation?
This treatment is recommended for people who have lost one or several teeth, suffer from severe tooth wear, bite problems, or structural changes in the teeth and gums. Each case is carefully evaluated to determine the best personalized solution.
What is the difference between oral rehabilitation and dental aesthetics?
While dental aesthetics focuses mainly on the appearance of the smile—through treatments such as teeth whitening or veneers—oral rehabilitation addresses broader issues, restoring both chewing function and dental aesthetics.
Does oral rehabilitation always require dental implants?
Not necessarily. A treatment plan may include dental implants, but it can also involve crowns, fixed or removable prostheses, or other approaches best suited to the patient's specific needs.
Is oral rehabilitation painful?
Treatments are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort. In addition, we use advanced technology and minimally invasive techniques to minimize any discomfort during and after the procedure.
How long does an oral rehabilitation treatment take?
The duration of treatment depends on the complexity of the case. Some procedures can be completed in just a few appointments, while more complex rehabilitations—such as those involving dental implants—may take several months due to the bone integration period.
Does oral rehabilitation have long-lasting results?
Yes. With proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, oral rehabilitation treatments can last for many years. The use of high-quality materials and strict precision in clinical procedures ensures long-term stability and durability.
How can I know if I need an oral rehabilitation?
If you experience difficulties chewing, have missing, worn, or misaligned teeth, or feel functional or aesthetic discomfort with your smile, an evaluation appointment can help determine whether you need a personalized oral rehabilitation plan.
