What Are Teeth In a Day?

Just as the name indicates, Teeth-in-a-Day allows us to give you a full set of replacement teeth in just one procedure, and even better, we can perform that procedure the same day your natural tooth has been extracted. With Teeth-in-a-Day, you will not go one day without teeth.

With traditional dental implants in Wichita Falls, you are more likely to need bone grafts to build up the jawbone to support the implant; however, with Teeth-in-a-Day, the implant bridge is built to balance the forces and support the bridge without a bone graft. No bone graft means a shorter treatment time. Most patients’ full healing occurs within six months, unlike 18 months or even more with traditional dental implants.

What to Expect with the Teeth-In-a-Day Process

The procedure begins with a thorough consultation to assess your current dental situation, general health, and oral health. During the consultation, we will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.

We will listen to your treatment goals and evaluate whether you’d be a good candidate for this type of dental implant. To assess your candidacy and plan for your procedure, we’ll take iCAT 3D images of your jawbone, supplemented with x-rays, impressions (digital and/or physical), and photos.

Once we’ve decided on the proper dental implant procedure, we’ll schedule you for surgery. At that time, our implant dentists, including Dr. Dustin Van Tassell, will perform tooth extractions and place the dental implants. Whether you receive four or six implants depends on the state of your bone and other factors.

Once the implants are placed, you will receive your temporary restorations. These temporary dental bridges look attractive and natural but are not as strong as your final restorations. During follow-up visits, we will check on the health of your implants and the progress of your healing. Most people are ready to receive their final restorations six months or less after the dental implant surgery. The final restorations, similar to CEREC, are durable and boast a high success rate, ensuring long-term satisfaction.

The final restorations will look, feel, and function like natural teeth. You will not have to deal with slippage like with dentures, and you will care for your new teeth just as you would your natural teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants replace both the visible tooth and its roots, providing a stable and long-lasting solution..
