What Is Teeth-in-a-Day?
Teeth-in-a-Day is a streamlined dental implant procedure that provides you with artificial teeth on the same day as your implant surgery. Unlike traditional implants that require a healing phase before receiving a prosthesis, this procedure allows us to place dental implants and secure temporary teeth in a single visit.
Using Nobel Biocare’s advanced technology, this method combines:
- Virtual surgical planning
- Pre-fabricated dental prosthesis
- Flapless, minimally invasive implant placement
- Immediate function and aesthetics
Benefits of Teeth-in-a-Day
- Immediate results: Restore your smile and chewing ability in just one appointment.
- Improved comfort: Avoid weeks or months with no teeth or relying on conventional dentures.
- Minimal recovery: Less swelling, less bruising, and faster healing thanks to flapless surgery.
- Long-term success: With proper care, most dental implants placed with this technique last 20 years or more.
- Preserved oral health: Prevents bone loss, supports gum health, and promotes bone healing around the implant.
Who’s a Candidate for Same-Day Dental Implants?
You may qualify for Teeth-in-a-Day if you:
- Are missing one tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch
- Have adequate bone in the upper or lower jaw
- Need to transition from removable dentures to permanent teeth
- Have healthy soft tissues and no active periodontal disease
- Are in good general health and cleared for minor surgery
If you’ve suffered severe bone loss, we may recommend bone grafting before implant placement. During your initial consultation, Dr. Wright will assess your medical history, jawbone structure, and oral health to determine your options.
The Teeth-in-a-Day Process: What to Expect
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Imaging
Your journey starts with a complete evaluation at our San Clemente dental office. We’ll take a CAT scan to build a 3D digital model of your jawbone. This model helps us identify the best locations for implant placement without the need for exploratory surgery.
Step 2: Virtual Treatment Planning
Using Nobel Biocare’s software, we virtually simulate the dental implant placement and create a detailed surgical guide. A custom dental prosthesis is designed and fabricated in advance, eliminating downtime between surgery and restoration.
Step 3: Flapless Implant Surgery
Under local anesthesia and sedation, Dr. Wright places your dental implants using minimally invasive techniques. Because the surgery is guided and does not require gum incisions, there is reduced bleeding, faster recovery, and minimal disruption to the soft tissues.
Step 4: Immediate Prosthetic Placement
Immediately after surgery, we attach your temporary teeth to the implants. These prosthetic teeth look and feel natural, allowing you to leave with a new smile the same day.
Step 5: Healing and Final Restoration
Over the next few months, your bone grows around the implant body, anchoring it in place. This healing phase is critical for long-term stability. Once your implants are fully integrated, we’ll replace the temporary prosthesis with a permanent one.
Caring for Your New Smile
To protect your implant success and promote bone healing, follow these guidelines:
- Eat soft foods for the first few weeks
- Prescribe antibiotics as needed to prevent infection
- Maintain good oral hygiene around the implant site
- Avoid smoking or using tobacco products
- Schedule regular visits and dental cleanings
Most patients experience a smooth healing process, especially when guided by our experienced dental specialist and oral surgeon.
