Teeth-in-a-Day refers to the process where a patient can have necessary extractions done, dental implants placed and have an implant-supported prosthesis, all in the same day. It combines immediate implants and immediate restorations principles, so that a patient can come to the office in the morning, have all necessary surgery and prosthetic work completed, and leave home in the afternoon with fixed new teeth in place.
Immediate implant placement shortens the overall treatment time and consolidates your procedures into one. We offer Teeth-in-a-Day treatments but only to patients who meet strict criteria. Violation of such criteria significantly increases complications and failure rate.
Advertised widely by chain implant centers, the Teeth-in-a-Day concept has become largely a marketing fad. Teeth-in-A-Day, while promising and successful in selected group of patients, lacks sufficiency in its science, knowledge, literature, research, and expertise that is required to achieve predictable results.
The approach may be successful, but only in very few candidates with no infection around their teeth, have great amount of bone, and all conditions are ideal. If conditions were this perfect, why would they need to have their teeth extracted to begin with? Many commercial “implant centers” do a hard sell to fit a patient into a treatment plan. Healthy natural teeth end up being extracted in order to place multiple implants and connect them with an immediate prosthesis on the same day! There are some evidence-based studies on this approach, but there are too many variables not yet thoroughly understood. Use of this approach in poor candidates results in high rates of failure and implant loss.
Many experts advise patients to be cautious of such hard advertisements and made promises that are often impossible to deliver.
Mini dental implants are narrower form of dental implants designed for patients with significant bone loss who do not want extensive bone grafting procedures. The procedure for placement of mini dental implants is minimally invasive and in most patients requires no incisions. Patients experience no to minimal pain and the healing is rather quick. The implants must heal for 3- 6 months before they are loaded with denture teeth.
They offer enhanced stability and support for dentures and help patients eat more comfortably and smile more without worrying about denture loosening or falling out. Denture adhesives and glues will no longer be necessary saving patients significant cost and also inconvenience of having to place adhesives several times daily.
Mini dental implants also also less costly making a great option for those with smaller budget.
