Overview

About Full Mouth Restoration

A full mouth restoration rebuilds the function and appearance of most or all teeth. It is used when many teeth are worn, broken, decayed or missing, and it often combines treatments such as gum care, root canals, crowns, bridges and implants.

Because the whole bite is involved, planning is detailed. The dentist looks at how your jaws meet and move, and may restore the teeth in phases to let tissues heal and to check comfort before final restorations are made.

Suitability

Who it may be suitable for

  • Many teeth that are worn, failing or missing
  • Bite problems, such as a collapsed bite from severe wear
  • Willingness to have gum disease and infections treated first
  • Time for a phased plan with more than one visit

These are general points only. Your dentist confirms what is suitable after an examination, which usually includes X-rays or a 3D scan, and may recommend a different or more conservative option.

The process

How it works

  1. Comprehensive assessment

    X-rays, a 3D scan, photos and bite records give a full picture of every tooth and the jaw joints.

  2. Foundation phase

    Infections, gum disease and teeth that cannot be saved are treated first.

  3. Restoration phase

    Crowns, bridges or implants are placed, often with temporaries first to test the new bite.

  4. Final restorations

    Once the bite is confirmed comfortable, the permanent restorations are made and fitted.

Aftercare

What to expect and aftercare

  1. Between appointments

    If your teeth are prepared, you wear temporary restorations while the final ones are made. They look reasonable but are less strong, so soft foods are sensible.

  2. Fitting day

    The final restorations are tried in, checked for fit, colour and bite, and then bonded or cemented in place.

  3. First weeks

    Some sensitivity and a short period of getting used to the new shape and bite are normal. Tell your dentist if your bite feels uneven, as small adjustments are simple.

  4. Between phases

    Healing time between stages lets gums and any implants settle, and gives you time to adapt to the new bite.

  5. Long term

    Brush twice daily, clean between your teeth, avoid using your teeth as tools and keep regular check-ups and hygiene visits with your local dentist.

Timelines vary between people. Always follow the aftercare instructions from your treating clinic.

Good to know

Risks and considerations

  • This is extensive treatment, often irreversible for the teeth involved, and it needs long-term maintenance.
  • Changing the bite can cause temporary jaw or muscle discomfort while you adapt.
  • Phased treatment means more than one trip, and timelines can change as healing progresses.
  • Grinding habits, gum health and regular check-ups strongly influence how long the work lasts.
FAQ

Common questions

Can a full mouth restoration be done in one trip?

Sometimes the main work fits into one longer stay, but implant cases and bite changes usually need at least two visits.

Will I have teeth while it is being done?

Yes. Temporary restorations or dentures are used so you are not left without teeth between stages.

How many trips to Istanbul will I need?

It depends on the treatment. Ceramic veneers and crowns are usually completed in one stay of around a week, while implants normally need two visits a few months apart to allow healing. Your coordinator confirms the schedule once the dentist has reviewed your X-rays or scan.

How is the cost decided?

The price depends on the number of teeth involved, the materials and any preparatory work the dentist finds necessary. You receive a written, itemised plan and quote before anything is booked, with no obligation to proceed.
