Full Mouth Rehabilitation
When a mouth has been through years of disease, decay, or tooth loss, a single appointment or a simple procedure isn’t enough to restore it. Full-mouth rehabilitation is for patients who need real, lasting change: a coordinated plan that addresses every tooth, every layer of support, and every function the mouth performs. It is one of the most transformative treatments available in modern dentistry, and the right team makes all the difference.
At Laudenbach Periodontics & Dental Implants, full mouth rehabilitation is a genuinely collaborative process built on over 45 years of serving the Philadelphia region. Dr. Jay Laudenbach, Board Certified by the American Board of Periodontology, leads the periodontal side of care, addressing gum health, bone structure, and the biological foundation on which every restoration depends. Alongside him, Dr. Robert Slauch is a Board Certified prosthodontist through the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP), responsible for the restorative and prosthetic components that rebuild the visible smile and restore full function.
What Is Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Full-mouth rehabilitation, sometimes called full-mouth reconstruction, is a multi-phase treatment plan that restores all or most of the teeth in a patient’s mouth. It combines periodontal care, restorative dentistry, and implant-based tooth replacement to address the root causes of dental breakdown, not just the symptoms. Patients who are candidates for this level of care have often been living with damage that has accumulated over years: missing teeth, failing restorations, advanced gum disease, or significant bone loss beneath the gum line.
This is not a cleaning or a routine checkup. Full-mouth rehabilitation requires a thorough evaluation, a phased approach to treatment, and close coordination between specialists. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, complete tooth loss affects millions of adults in the United States, with rates increasing significantly among older populations, making comprehensive restorative care a critical need for many patients who have gone without adequate treatment for too long.
Who Is a Candidate for Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
Not every patient with dental concerns needs this level of care, but for those who do, the signs are often difficult to ignore. The following factors commonly indicate that a comprehensive plan may be appropriate:
- Multiple missing or failing teeth: Gaps and failing restorations that affect chewing, speaking, or overall bite stability
- Advanced gum disease: Active periodontal disease that has damaged the gum tissue and supporting bone
- Significant bone loss: Deterioration of the jawbone that requires grafting before implants are placed
- Trauma or decay: Teeth that have been damaged by injury or severe decay that cannot be saved with standard treatment
- Previous restorations that have failed: Crowns, bridges, or dentures that no longer fit or function properly
A comprehensive evaluation is the first step, and no two treatment plans are identical. The goal is always to restore both health and function.

How the Treatment Process Works at Laudenbach Periodontics & Dental Implants
Full mouth rehabilitation begins long before any procedure. The evaluation phase includes a full series of photographs, cone beam 3D imaging, complete periodontal charting, and a review of jaw relationships and bite function. This diagnostic foundation is what allows Dr. Laudenbach and Dr. Slauch to design a plan that addresses every problem in the right sequence.
Addressing the Foundation First
The periodontal foundation comes before any restorative work begins. If gum disease is active or bone loss is present, those conditions must be treated and stabilized. Dr. Laudenbach handles this phase, which may include periodontal therapy and, where indicated, bone grafting to restore the volume of jawbone needed to support implants. Placing restorations on an unhealthy foundation significantly shortens their lifespan, which is why this step is non-negotiable.
Rebuilding with Implants and Restorations
Once the foundation is healthy and stable, the restorative phase begins. For patients with multiple missing teeth, dental implants are the most durable, functional solution available. Our practice places only Straumann implants, the leading dental implant manufacturer in the world, using genuine Straumann components for every restoration. For patients who have lost all or nearly all of their teeth, a full arch implant solution may replace an entire upper or lower arch with a fixed, permanent set of teeth. Dr. Slauch designs and delivers the prosthetic components, coordinating with Dr. Laudenbach throughout to ensure the restorations are supported by healthy tissue and properly integrated bone.
What to Expect from Your Results
Patients who complete full-mouth rehabilitation typically experience changes that go far beyond aesthetics. Chewing function improves, which affects nutrition and overall health. Speech clarity often returns. The bite becomes balanced, reducing strain on the jaw joints. And perhaps most importantly for many patients, the embarrassment and self-consciousness that accompany years of dental decline begin to lift.
Patients should expect a treatment plan that unfolds in phases over weeks or months, depending on what needs to be done. For only $219, our comprehensive consultation includes all necessary X-rays, full periodontal charting, and a complete photo series — giving both the patient and the team a clear picture of what treatment involves before any commitment is made.
