Full Mouth Rehabilitation in Bangalore
Medically reviewed by Dr Nikhitha Raghunath, BDS, MDS, KSDC Reg. No. 31715A
Full mouth rehabilitation rebuilds or restores most or all of the teeth in both jaws, to bring back healthy function, comfortable chewing and a natural smile. It combines treatments such as crowns, bridges, implants, root canals, gum treatment and bite correction in one planned sequence. At Contura Clinic, Bangalore, Dr Nikhitha Raghunath plans each case with digital records and a trial of the new teeth before the final work. Treatment usually takes several visits over weeks to months.

- Treatment plan: a step-by-step plan with timing and costs, so you know what to expect.
- Foundations first: infections, gum disease and extractions are treated.
- Trial teeth: temporary crowns let you test the new bite, shape and look.

- Protection: a night guard is often advised if you grind your teeth.
Frequently asked questions
How long does full mouth rehabilitation take?
It depends on what is needed. Simpler cases can be completed over a few weeks. Cases with implants usually take several months, because implants need 3–6 months to bond to the bone.
Is full mouth rehabilitation painful?
Each step is done under local anaesthesia, so it shouldn't hurt. You may have mild soreness after some visits, controlled with painkillers.
How much does full mouth rehabilitation cost?
It varies widely with the number of teeth and the treatments needed. You get a written, itemised plan and cost after your assessment. As a rough guide in Bangalore, it ranges from about ₹75,000 for crown-based cases to several lakh rupees when implants are needed.
