Are You A Candidate For Teeth-In-A-Day?

When you have major tooth loss, you may need a set of dentures. Traditional dental implant dentures could be a lengthy process, as the smile needs to heal between implant placement and the attachment of the denture. But what if your Livonia, MI, dentist could offer a new set of dentures in only one day? Are you a candidate for Teeth-In-A-Day?

Teeth in One Visit

Typically, with dental implant dentures the implant posts are inserted into the jaw and time must pass for the placement area to heal before moving forward. Once it does, which could take months, abutments are added to the posts and the prosthetic is connected to them. However, with Teeth-In-Day, we insert the posts and then attach the prosthetic in the same visit so the patient leaves with a complete smile. We usually provide All-On-Four or TreFoil, using three to four post specially placed to support  dentures and stimulate the growth of jawbone structure to keep the jaw strong and whole.

Candidacy

We can recommend this option for people with advanced tooth loss. This could even help those with weakened jawbones, those who have lost mass and density due to untreated tooth loss. No need to undergo grafting or sinus lifts beforehand! Instead, we will extract the last few teeth and take detailed digital images of the prepared teeth to plan and guide the placement of the posts at the specific angles and positions to support prosthetics. They are smaller and more economical, so the procedure is often more affordable too.

Completing Your New Smile

Once we place the posts, we will attach the denture, which has been custom-made for your smile. The finished product will contain a full row of lifelike teeth, and since it will be fixed in place, no worry about slippage. Your new teeth can instead last for decades to come, possibly a lifetime, far longer than removable prosthetic. The process relies on digital technology, so no need or goop molds, and we create them with better precision and accuracy. Addressing your tooth loss also means restoring your ability to eat your favorite foods, and to speak without difficulty.
