Do you have badly damaged teeth or loose teeth from advanced gum disease and avoid treatment because you do not want dentures? Dr. Mark Sowell and Dr. Sara Chen have great news for you.
People who have badly damaged and not savable teeth are often reluctant to remove them. They don’t want to walk out with a denture in their mouth for several months. Thus they often avoid treatment and let the infection get worse and worse in their mouth. In cases like this, Teeth-In-A-Day is the solution!
What is Teeth-In-A-Day?
Teeth-In-A-Day is an immediate dental implant system. The process integrates tooth removal, implant placement, and closing of the site within one pain-free treatment for the patient. This treatment plan is a great option for patients who are looking for a more efficient way to replace all their teeth. Patients can receive dental implants with minimal downtime, and little-to-no disruption to their daily life.
During a Teeth-In-A-Day procedure, we remove all your damaged teeth and replace them with dental implants in one visit. Dr. Chen and Dr. Sowell will place four or more dental implants to secure a denture or hybrid bridge. The dental implant treatment will immediately restore function and aesthetics to your mouth.
The Teeth-In-A-Day steps include:
- Extracting any remaining unhealthy teeth.
- Placing dental implants in the jawbone with oral surgery. These implants will serve as the foundation for the new set of teeth.
- Attaching a temporary set of teeth, or restoration, to the implants on the same day.
The initial restoration will be a temporary denture or bridge that will stabilize the implants and aid in healing. Once the implants integrate, we will secure your permanent prosthetic into place. The prosthetic can be a fixed bridge or full-arch denture.
To qualify for Teeth-In-A-Day, you must have good oral health and not have bone loss in your jaw. Additionally, you should not have any underlying medical conditions that could affect the success of the procedure.
The Benefits of Teeth-In-A-Day
This state-of-the-art treatment option offers several advantages to patients. You will save time and resources, not having to move from one specialist to another for each step of the process. Making it overall much more cost-effective and convenient for both the dentist, and the patient.
Along with significant time savings, Teeth-In-A-Day also helps reduce the overall healing time. We can complete the implant and restoration in a single visit with minimal disruption to the site. As a result, the healing time from surgery to full function can be as little as three months!
Lastly, this system helps to reduce post-operative pain and swelling and keeps surgical trauma at a minimum. This results in more predictable healing and improved long-term stability of the implant.
Teeth-In-A-Day is an efficient way to receive restorations with minimal disruption to your daily life. With the help of this immediate implant system, you can get your restoration in a day. You will be free from the aftermath of traditional prosthetics.
Dental Implants vs. Dentures
Dental implants are the gold standard for those missing all their upper and/or lower teeth. In years past, the only solution for those missing all their natural teeth was a conventional denture. Millions of Americans still wear an upper or lower denture. Patients don’t realize they have other options and often turn to dentures because they’re the least expensive.
However, although they may pay a low cost for dentures, they pay a high cost in quality of life. Patients risk long-term damage to their jawbone volume and facial appearance. Implant dentist Dr. Sara Chen can create the ideal solution for those who are considering replacing their current dentures. A few alternative to dentures are available for those who are missing all their teeth.
Patients who already have a denture can still wear their dentures while waiting for the implants to integrate (heal).
