About 178 million adults in the United States are missing at least one permanent tooth, and about 40 million have lost all their natural teeth.
Teeth-in-a-Day™ is a modern, efficient way to restore a full smile quickly, combining surgical precision with superior cosmetic results. It’s a popular option for people desiring a permanent alternative to dentures without a long treatment timeline.
See our experienced dental specialists at Advanced Family Dentistry in Rancho Cucamonga, California, to learn more about Teeth-in-a-Day dental implants and determine if they're right for you.
Teeth-in-a-Day basics
Teeth-in-a-Day consists of dental implants that replace your permanent teeth using metal posts inserted into your jawbone. The posts can anchor dentures on the top, bottom, or both arches using All-on-4®s (dentures supported by four implants in the top arch and four in the bottom arch).
You might already have missing permanent teeth or need extraction because of severely decaying or damaged natural teeth. Teeth-in-a-Day can create a flawless smile without going months without teeth.
Reasons to choose Teeth-in-a-Day
Traditional dental implants require multiple phases, including implant insertion, a healing period, and attaching your new teeth to the implants after healing is complete. Teeth-in-a-Day offers an alternative for people who would like to receive their new smile on the same day as dental implant placement, helping keep confidence levels high and smiles functional.
Teeth-in-a-Day look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. And you don’t have to worry about taking them out of your mouth, as your new dental implants remain securely fixed in place long term.
Teeth-in-a-Day procedure
Receiving your Teeth-in-a-Day might take several hours, depending on whether you’re having some or all of your natural teeth replaced. Your dentist numbs your mouth, offers a sedative, and inserts the dental implants.
Then, they attach temporary dentures to the metal posts, allowing you to leave the office with a full set of natural-looking teeth. You receive your final and permanent dentures after your jawbone has fully healed around the dental implants.
Candidates for Teeth-in-a-Day
Our Advanced Family Dentistry experts complete a detailed dental evaluation and take X-rays to determine if Teeth-in-a-Day is right for you. They carefully plan your treatment. You might first need jawbone grafting before the procedure, though Teeth-in-a-Day typically require less jawbone density than traditional dental implants.
Candidates for Teeth-in-a-Day include patients with missing permanent teeth or those undergoing tooth extraction to eliminate severely damaged or decayed teeth.
