Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Complex reconstructions planned as one case from the first wax-up to the last cemented unit, so the vertical dimension you establish in the provisional is the one the patient keeps.
How a full-mouth case runs
The sequence is what makes these predictable. We work through it with you rather than waiting for the next shipment to arrive.
- Diagnostic wax-up for crowns or veneers, so the plan is visible before anything is prepared
- Matrix for temporaries, taken straight from the approved wax-up
- PMMA provisionals to test the bite and the esthetics in the mouth
- Final ceramics built to the provisional the patient has already approved
Bite first
A full-mouth case that ignores the bite comes back. Mr. Ortiz trained in neuromuscular technique at LVI and brings that discipline to reconstruction work: the occlusion is designed, recorded and verified, not assumed.
Talk to the ceramist, not a counter
On cases this size you should be able to reach the person holding the porcelain brush. Call the lab and ask for Mr. Ortiz.
Questions we get asked
Do you do the diagnostic wax-up separately?
Yes, and we recommend it. Tick Diagnostic Wax Up on the prescription and tell us whether it is for crowns or veneers.
How long does a full-arch case take?
It depends on the stages. Call the lab with the treatment plan and we will schedule the case backwards from the seat date.
Can you work from our provisionals?
Yes. Send them, or photographs of them in the mouth, and we will copy what the patient already approved.
