Is It Really Possible to Get New Teeth in a Single Day?

You may have heard of Teeth in a Day. This treatment is advertised as being able to replace an entire arch of lost teeth in a single dental appointment. It’s understandable if you’re skeptical — Teeth in a Day might sound too good to be true. In this blog post, we’ll discuss what you can realistically expect with this restorative dental implant procedure. You might be pleasantly surprised!

Before Teeth in a Day

One of the big selling points of Teeth in a Day is that you can walk into your dentist’s office without any teeth in your mouth and walk out the same day with a complete smile. That is absolutely true. However, it takes a lot of planning and preparation to be able to get to that point.

Before you receive your new smile, you’ll need to have in-depth consultation with a qualified implant dentist. They’ll examine your mouth, answer your questions, and design a custom treatment plan. Then, they’ll let you know what you can expect on the road ahead of you. You might need to undergo gum disease therapy or other treatments before you get your dental implants and their accompanying denture. Your dentist will also need some time to carefully plan your dental implant surgery.

All of this preparation is essential because it reduces the risk of complications and makes the success of your new smile a near-certainty.

The Big Day

After all of your preparatory treatments are complete, you’ll go to your dentist and have dental implants strategically placed into your jawbone. Immediately thereafter, your dentist will provide you with a temporary set of teeth to go on top of the implants. This is the appointment that earned the Teeth in a Day name for this type of dental implant procedure.

A few months after your implant placement surgery, you’ll return to your dentist to have a permanent restoration attached to your dental implants.

What’s the Big Deal?

The entire Teeth in a Day process can take a few months, so you might wonder what all the hype is about. Here are just a few reasons why Teeth in a Day is such a popular treatment:

• It’s faster than traditional dental implants. The strategic placement of the implants often means that Teeth in a Day does not require patients to undergo a bone graft, which is a common part of traditional implant procedures. A bone graft can extend the implant process by several months.
• There’s no need to wait for teeth. With traditional implants, you do not receive teeth on the same day as your implant surgery. Therefore, you may have to go without teeth for several months between your surgery and when you receive your new smile.

The Teeth in a Day implant procedure is a remarkable treatment. If you have suffered extensive tooth loss, it may be the solution you have been searching for!
