Oral rehabilitation
Treatments to restore function and aesthetics when teeth are missing, worn or heavily restored.
Oral rehabilitation
Chewing, speaking and smiling with ease again
Missing teeth, wear or extensive restorations can affect the way you chew, speak and feel when you smile.
Oral rehabilitation aims to restore the function and aesthetics of your mouth through a comprehensive plan. Depending on your case, it may include crowns, fixed or removable prostheses, bonded bridges or adhesive rehabilitation options, among other alternatives.
Indications
Who may it be for?
After a consultation, it may be an option if:
- You are missing one or more teeth.
- Your teeth are very worn or have extensive restorations.
- You feel discomfort or have difficulty chewing.
- You would like to renew old prostheses or restorations.
- You want to restore the aesthetics of your smile along with its function.
Every case is different: only after a consultation can we know whether this treatment is right for you.
Our approach

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does oral rehabilitation include?
It may include crowns, fixed or removable prostheses, bonded bridges, adhesive rehabilitation and, in some cases, implants. The plan depends on your situation.
Do I need to treat all my teeth at once?
Not necessarily. Treatment is usually organized in phases, according to the priorities of your case.
What is the difference between a fixed and a removable prosthesis?
A fixed prosthesis stays in your mouth and you do not take it out yourself; a removable one can be taken out for cleaning. Which one suits you depends on your case.
Can it be combined with implants?
Yes, in some cases the rehabilitation is supported by dental implants. This is decided after the consultation.
Why is follow-up important?
Check-ups make it possible to monitor function, fit and the condition of your restorations over time.
