Full Mouth Rehabilitation in Turkey
Full mouth rehabilitation means rebuilding most or all of a mouth: the teeth, the way they bite together and often the height of the bite itself. It is the most involved treatment we carry out.
Patients who need it are usually not chasing a cosmetic change. They have worn their teeth down, lost several of them, broken fillings repeatedly or been avoiding hard food for years. This page explains how that work is planned, honestly and in stages.
Usually two or more visits, sometimes staged over a year
5 to 10 days per visit, depending on the stages involved
Quoted as a staged plan after full assessment
What full mouth rehabilitation actually means
Most mouths need a combination of treatment rather than one procedure: implants for missing teeth, crowns or onlays for worn ones, root canal treatment where a nerve is involved, gum care, and sometimes extractions where a tooth cannot be saved. The work is sequenced so that each stage supports the next.
The bite is what makes it complex. Teeth wear down together, so rebuilding them changes how the jaw closes and how force is distributed. Done without planning, this leaves patients with teeth that look right but chew badly, which is why the treatment starts with a full assessment and a defined target for the bite.
It is not always the right approach. Where a smaller number of teeth can be repaired conservatively, that is the better treatment. Full rehabilitation is for mouths where the damage is widespread and a piecemeal approach would keep failing.
Who full mouth rehabilitation may suit
- Widespread wear, erosion or breakage across most teeth
- Several missing teeth, with the remaining ones drifting or overloading
- Repeated failure of fillings, crowns or previous dental work
- Difficulty chewing properly, or a bite that has collapsed or changed over the years
- A willingness to complete a staged plan, including review appointments
Worth knowing first: This is major treatment and it is not suitable for everyone. Gum disease must be controlled first, and some patients are better served by targeted work on the teeth that are causing problems. Where the foundations cannot support reconstruction, we will say so rather than take on work that is likely to fail.
What patients usually gain
- A bite that works again, so eating stops being something to plan around
- Broken and worn teeth replaced with restorations built to a planned height and shape
- Missing teeth replaced with implants or bridges rather than left to shift the rest
- Appearance addressed as part of a functional plan rather than separately
- A clear sequence of stages, so you know what happens, when and what it costs
Risks and honest considerations
- This is a long treatment with more visits than routine crown work, and it involves more tooth structure being prepared.
- Implants carry a risk of failure, and grafting may be needed, which extends the timeline by months.
- A changed bite can feel unfamiliar while you adjust, and temporary stages are not always comfortable.
- Cost is genuinely variable and depends on how many teeth need rebuilding and how much is done with implants.
- Outcomes depend on your own maintenance: cleaning, check-ups and a night guard where grinding is present.
No treatment is risk-free and no result can be guaranteed. Your dentist will go through what applies to you at your assessment.
How the rehabilitation is staged
- 1
Full assessment and records
Examination, x-rays or a scan, gum assessment, photographs and bite analysis. Nothing is planned until the condition of every tooth is known.
- 2
Stabilise and treat disease first
Gum treatment, extractions and root canal work come first, along with any healing period needed before reconstruction begins.
- 3
Written staged plan
You receive the plan in stages: what happens on each visit, which implants or restorations are involved, the materials, the sequencing and the cost of each stage.
- 4
Implant and surgical stages
Implants are placed and allowed to bond to the bone, usually over three to six months. Temporary restorations are used so you are not left without functioning teeth.
- 5
Reconstruction of the bite
Crowns, onlays and bridges are made and fitted to a planned bite height, with adjustments made as the mouth adapts.
- 6
Final fitting, review and aftercare
The last stage completes the bite and appearance, followed by a review before you fly home, written aftercare and long-term maintenance guidance.
Before, during, after and beyond
Before treatment
Bring a full picture: any x-rays, a list of medication, previous treatment abroad and a note of what you can and cannot eat comfortably. For rehabilitation, that last item is often the most useful thing you can tell us.
Expect the plan to be staged rather than completed in one trip. We will tell you honestly how many visits your case needs and what has to heal in between, so you can plan work and travel around it.
During treatment
Treatment is carried out in stages under local anaesthetic, with appointment days arranged around the work rather than fixed in advance. Your coordinator manages transfers, appointments and translation throughout.
Temporary restorations keep you functioning between stages. They are not the final result, and we will be clear about what is temporary and what is permanent at each point.
Aftercare
Aftercare for rehabilitation is detailed: specific cleaning methods around implants and bridgework, a soft or modified diet during healing and clear guidance on what to watch for. It is written down, because it is too much to remember.
You have remote support from your coordinator once home, and we recommend reviews with your own dentist between visits to Marmaris. Long-term success rests on regular maintenance rather than on the treatment alone.
Recovery at a glance
Recovery varies with what was done. Crown and bridge stages generally settle within a few days; surgical stages take one to two weeks before eating feels normal again, and longer where grafting is involved.
Because the bite is being changed, adjusting can take weeks rather than days. Mild tenderness while the muscles adapt is expected, and we review it rather than leave it.
What it costs and what is included
Full mouth rehabilitation is quoted individually, because the number of teeth, the number of implants and the staging all vary widely. Our published packages — from £3,199 for 20 zirconia crowns to £7,899 for implant and crown work over two visits — give you the scale of the work. Prices are starting prices and subject to your individual treatment plan; your written staged quote follows the assessment.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation: common questions
How long does full mouth rehabilitation take?
Usually several months and often longer, because healing stages cannot be rushed. Crown and bridge work may be completed in one or two trips, but where implants are involved the total timeline is commonly six months to a year, split across visits.
Is it painful?
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, so the appointments themselves should not be painful. It is a substantial amount of dental work, and soreness, swelling and unfamiliarity with a new bite afterwards are normal rather than exceptional.
Will I be left without teeth between stages?
No. Temporary restorations are part of the plan, and they are designed to be functional and presentable while healing takes place. They are not built to be your final teeth, and they are replaced as the plan progresses.
Can I do it in one trip?
Only where the plan is all crown and bridge work. If implants, extractions or gum treatment are involved, healing periods are unavoidable and the work is staged across more than one visit.
How much does full mouth rehabilitation cost in Turkey?
It varies more than any other treatment we offer, because it depends on how many teeth need rebuilding and how many implants are placed. You will receive a staged written quote showing the cost of each part, and we will tell you if a smaller, more targeted treatment would serve you better.
