Full mouth extractions are a procedure where all of a patient's teeth are removed from the upper and lower jaws, often due to severe decay, gum disease, or trauma. This is typically done in preparation for dentures, dental implants, or other restorative treatments.

The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure the patient's comfort. After the teeth are removed, the dentist will discuss options for replacing them, such as dentures or implants, to restore both function and aesthetics.

Full mouth extractions are often a last resort when dental treatments cannot restore the health of the teeth. However, with proper post-operative care and the use of modern restorative options, patients can regain their ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
