Full Mouth Rehabilitation in Mysore: Restoring Collapsed Bites & Severely Worn Teeth

Dr. Avinash B.S. 7 Min Read Clinically Reviewed
Severe teeth grinding (bruxism), acid erosion, chronic dental neglect, or multiple lost teeth can lead to a condition known as bite collapse (loss of vertical dimension). When teeth wear down excessively, the lower face shortens, deep wrinkles form around the mouth, jaw joints (TMJ) ache, and chewing becomes painful. Full Mouth Rehabilitation (FMR) is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary reconstruction that restores your smile's aesthetics, dental height, and optimal neuromuscular chewing function.

1. What is Bite Collapse and How Does It Happen?

Every human jaw has an ideal vertical height called the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO). When posterior molars are lost or severely worn down by nocturnal grinding and dietary acids, the vertical height gradually shrinks. As a result, front teeth begin chipping, banging together unnaturally, and the chin moves closer to the nose, prematurely aging facial appearance.

Full mouth rehabilitation systematically recalculates your facial proportions using digital bite articulators, facebow transfers, and 3D CBCT imaging to rebuild teeth back to their youthful, anatomical dimensions.

2. The Multi-Phase Treatment Journey

  • Comprehensive Digital Planning & Wax-Up: High-resolution 3D intraoral scans and photographic facebow analysis allow us to preview your reconstructed bite on physical mockups before any tooth is touched.
  • Periodontal Stabilization & Implant Placement: Dr. Avinash ensures the gum foundation is completely healthy, placing premium titanium dental implants where missing teeth must be replaced.
  • Diagnostic Provisional Restorations: Patients wear precision temporary crowns for 4 to 8 weeks to ensure the jaw joints and facial muscles are completely comfortable with the newly elevated vertical height.
  • Final Precision Zirconia & E-Max crowns Restorations: Computer-milled CAD/CAM monolithic zirconia bridges and lithium disilicate crowns are permanently bonded, delivering decades of resilient beauty.

3. Dramatic Functional and Facial Benefits

Full mouth rehabilitation does not just save teeth—it reverses years of facial aging:

  • Eliminates chronic TMJ jaw clicking, neck muscle strain, and tension headaches.
  • Restores the lower third of the face, smoothing out sunken cheeks and deep marionette folds.
  • Enables comfortable chewing of hard foods, nuts, and fibrous fruits without fear of breaking teeth.
  • Provides a lifetime radiant smile with stain-resistant, unbreakable ceramic restorations.
