Teeth in a Day: The Evolution of Immediate Dental Restorations

The “teeth in a day” procedure is a game-changer in dental restorations, revolutionizing dental innovations in a single appointment.

This revolutionary approach offers individuals the chance to regain their smiles and functionality within a remarkably short timeframe.

In this article, we will discuss the “teeth in a day” procedure, which has two steps: temporary and permanent teeth. It is important to consider when to get permanent restorations and why some providers offer a subpar product.

The Promise of Teeth in a Day

“Teeth in a day” is a new dental procedure that gives patients functional teeth in just 24 hours.

This approach is particularly appealing to those who seek quick results without compromising on quality.

In just one procedure we can remove your bad natural teeth and place same day dental implants. The next day you receive your temporary prosthetic teeth. Most patients only miss one day of work and almost fully heal in a week.

Almost all patients are candidates for teeth in a day, even ones with tooth loss or bone loss. Our oral surgeon is well trained to deal with complex cases including bone grafts.

To determine if you are a candidate for teeth in a day you should schedule a consultation.

Step 1: Temporary Teeth Within 24 Hours

The procedure begins with an initial evaluation and treatment planning session. During this stage, your dentist will assess your oral health, take 3D scans and digital impressions, and discuss your expectations. Once a personalized treatment plan is developed by the doctor, the financial coordinator will review your financing options if needed.

On the day of the implant procedure, teeth are removed and dental implants are strategically placed in the jawbone. These implants serve as anchors for the eventual permanent teeth. However they need to be placed differently than traditional implants.

The key feature of this step is the immediate attachment of full arch temporary teeth. These replacement teeth are carefully crafted digitally to provide both aesthetics and functionality. This implant supported denture will act as your temporary teeth while your gums have time to heal.

Dental implants give you a full set of teeth, making you look better and helping you eat and talk normally.

There are other tooth replacement options that the dentist can review with you if teeth in a day is not cost effective for you.

Step 2: Crafting Permanent Teeth in 3 Months

While temporary teeth offer immediate benefits, they are designed to serve a transitional role during gum healing.

Following the dental implant procedure and the attachment of temporary teeth, a healing period of approximately three months is required. During this time a strict soft diet is advised and oral hygiene remains the same.

At the 3 month mark our prosthodontist will begin designing your permanent teeth.

Our permanent teeth are customized for each and every patient. They are made out of Zirconia and will look and feel like natural teeth.

Why Immediate Permanent Teeth Might Not Be Ideal

Getting permanent teeth immediately from providers like Nuvia may seem tempting. However, it is actually wiser to consider the two-step approach. Permanent teeth in a single visit can be problematic.

1. Osseointegration: Dental implants need time to bond with the jawbone. Rushing the process by immediately placing permanent teeth might compromise the stability of the implants and their long-term success.
2. Individual Healing: Every patient’s healing process is unique. After surgery there’s no way to know where the gum will end up. If the gum shrinks too much then you will have a gap under your permanent teeth.
3. Adjustments and Aesthetics: Temporary teeth allow for adjustments based on how your mouth heals and adapts to the implants. This customized approach is essential for achieving the most natural and comfortable final results.

The Importance of the Right Timing

The decision of whether to choose immediate permanent teeth or the traditional two-step approach for new dental arches depends on various factors. These factors include oral health, bone density, and the expertise of the dental provider.

It’s important to prioritize the health and longevity of your dental implants instead of rushing to get permanent teeth immediately.

Conclusion

The “teeth in a day” procedure has changed dental restorations, giving patients immediate functionality and better appearance.

One can make temporary teeth in one day, while it takes three months to make permanent teeth. This balances quick results with long-term success.

Nuvia and other providers can provide you with permanent teeth immediately. However, the long term success of implants requires careful planning, a skilled surgeon, and personalized care.

Talking to a dentist will help you choose wisely for a pretty, long-lasting smile in the future.
