When there are cases such as sabotage, prolonged neglect of the teeth, displacement or loss of a tooth, and so on, the function of the mouth is disturbed and a wide range of problems can arise like gum disease, loss of additional teeth, the formation of holes and more. This condition will require oral rehabilitation consisting of many treatments, so it is advisable to perform oral rehabilitation as early as possible.
Oral Rehabilitation – What is important to check?
Oral rehabilitation is an important and significant procedure performed in order to gain oral and jaw health over the years and to upgrade the patient’s quality of life. Oral and maxillofacial problems can be detrimental to a person's lifestyle as they impair the enjoyment of eating and drinking, causing pain and impairing the aesthetics of the mouth, a phenomenon that is sometimes accompanied by unpleasant odors. Therefore, the choice to perform rehabilitation of the mouth and jaw is a right and important decision. However, there are a number of things that are important to pay attention to before rehabilitating the mouth, including choosing the right clinic and doctor for it. This choice must take into account a number of criteria:
Seniority – The doctor you choose in order to perform your oral rehabilitation is very significant for the success of the treatment, so it is important to have as much seniority experience as possible. Seniority and experience can help with the success of the treatment, as well as the doctor's skill and professionalism with which he performs the treatments and faces the challenges of your health condition. In addition, seniority and experience can lead to better aesthetic results, and this is one of the reasons for performing oral rehabilitation in the first place.
Equipment and raw materials – In addition to the doctor's experience, it is very important to check that the clinic where you are interested in undergoing rehabilitation treatments will use raw materials at the best level and advanced equipment in the field of oral rehabilitation. All of these, along with the doctor's experience, will ensure a better chance of successful oral rehabilitation. Naturally, the two should not be separated, since the most innovative tools and the highest quality materials in the hands of an inexperienced person and skills will not benefit anyone.
Diagnosis – The diagnosis is one of the most important steps in the oral rehabilitation procedure, as it will determine which treatments to undergo and which problems to deal with. Even for performing a reliable diagnosis, the most advanced instrumentation should be used, which gives an accurate snapshot of the oral condition. Along with the opinion of a specialist doctor, a recommendation will be given on the appropriate treatments. The diagnosis will determine if you will need permanent or removable implants, where and how the implants will be placed, and you will even be able to see what your mouth will look like after the full restoration. Dental implants have many benefits, they are biologically tailored to the patient and are considered very durable.
Aesthetics – Before choosing a clinic that will perform rehabilitation for you here, it is important that you pay attention to the aesthetic dimension of the rehabilitation and its various aspects. The aesthetic result of oral rehabilitation should include matching the shape of the jaw and the color of the teeth and giving an aesthetic smile to the patient. Therefore, the doctor should have an aesthetic sense, skilled and delicate hands, and the ability to achieve the best result. Also, if you plan as part of the comprehensive treatment to perform teeth whitening as well, note that you must first perform the teeth whitening process so that there are no color differences. In these cases as in other aesthetic cases of sweating or hair removal, it is advisable to consult the attending physician in order to properly plan the therapeutic process.
Oral rehabilitation planning – building a plan and treatments
If you have decided that you are interested in undergoing rehabilitation here, there is great importance to comprehensive planning of the various treatments both in terms of their choice and in terms of the schedule and payment framework for them. Planning will help you prepare both mentally and financially for oral rehabilitation, and by knowing exactly how the program will be conducted, you will feel more in control and relaxed.
The person who builds the treatment plan is also the one who performs the treatment – your doctor, which is based on his early diagnosis, knowledge and skill, and a wide range of other factors such as the patient's health condition and mental state. The treatment plan should be constructed professionally and with careful consideration of the whole that makes up the patient in terms of his professional and mental condition and also in terms of his body and his dedication to the series of treatments and their rehabilitation. Note that oral rehabilitation is a separate specialty in dentistry and not every dentist is qualified to perform such a procedure.
