Full Mouth Rehabilitation in Levittown

Full mouth rehabilitation, also known as full mouth reconstruction, is a comprehensive dental treatment plan designed to address multiple dental issues simultaneously. It's an ideal solution for patients with extensive dental needs that cannot be resolved through isolated treatments. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from severe tooth decay, multiple missing teeth, advanced gum disease, jaw disorders, or a combination of these conditions. It's also suitable for patients who have experienced dental trauma or those with congenital defects affecting their oral structures. Full mouth rehabilitation involves a customized series of dental procedures that may include dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, orthodontics, and periodontal treatments. The goal is to restore not only the aesthetics of your smile but also the proper function and health of your entire oral system. If you're struggling with multiple dental issues that significantly impact your quality of life, full mouth rehabilitation could be the transformative solution you need.

The duration of full mouth rehabilitation can vary significantly from patient to patient, depending on the complexity of the case and the specific procedures required. Typically, the entire process can take anywhere from several months to a year or more. The treatment begins with a comprehensive examination and planning phase, which may include X-rays, 3D imaging, and consultations with various dental specialists. This initial phase usually takes a few weeks. The active treatment phase, where the actual dental procedures are performed, is often spread out over several appointments. Some procedures, like dental implants, require healing periods between stages. For instance, after implant placement, it may take 3-6 months for osseointegration (the process where the implant fuses with the jawbone) before the final restoration can be placed. Throughout the process, there will be follow-up appointments to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. While the extended timeline might seem daunting, it's important to remember that full mouth rehabilitation is a meticulous process designed to provide long-lasting results. Dr. Seiden and his team will work with you to create a treatment schedule that fits your needs and lifestyle as much as possible.

The coverage for full mouth rehabilitation by dental insurance can be complex and varies depending on your specific insurance plan. Generally, dental insurance plans may cover a portion of the treatments involved in full mouth rehabilitation, especially those deemed medically necessary. For instance, procedures like fillings, root canals, or treatment for gum disease are often partially covered. However, cosmetic procedures or those considered elective might not be covered. It's important to note that most dental insurance plans have annual maximums, which may be quickly reached with extensive treatments like full mouth rehabilitation. Some plans might also have waiting periods for major procedures. Given the complexity of full mouth rehabilitation, it often involves a combination of treatments that fall under different categories of dental care (preventive, basic, and major). This can affect how and what your insurance covers. Before beginning treatment, we recommend that you thoroughly review your dental insurance policy and speak with your insurance provider to understand your coverage. At Seiden Dental, our team can help you navigate this process, providing detailed treatment plans and cost estimates that you can submit to your insurance company for pre-determination of benefits. We also offer various payment options and can discuss financing plans to help make your full mouth rehabilitation more affordable.
