How Do You Feel About Tooth Loss?

A healthy looking smile ranks among the top 3 aspects of a person’s appearance that affect self-esteem.

96% of adults believe an attractive smile makes them more appealing to the

opposite sex.

73% of Americans say they would feel self-conscious if they lost a tooth or their teeth.

74% of adults feel an unattractive smile can hurt a person’s chance for career

success. 66% of Americans say tooth replacement is a medical necessity, not just a cosmetic

nicety.

The Facts on Tooth Loss

A person’s quality of life is diminished as a result of tooth loss due to a reduction in the ability to chew and speak and resulting in reduced social interactions.

By age 50, Americans have lost an average of 12 teeth including their third molars

(wisdom teeth).

Nearly 30% of adults over 65 have lost all of their natural teeth, primarily due to tooth decay and gum disease.

Tooth loss in the elderly is linked to inadequate nutrition intake because of the limited types of food that person can eat.

At all ages, men are more likely than women to have severe periodontal disease.

Why Teeth-in-a-Day?

It allows you to avoid the need for dentures and

enables you to regain 90% chewing function like you had when your teeth were

healthy!

What is it?

Teeth-in-a-day is a complete full arch solution where a fixed

implant bridge replaces missing or failing teeth with a full arch

of new beautiful teeth anchored by 4 or more dental

implants the same day!

How is it Possible?

Due to advancements in dental implant technology and 25 years of research, dental implants that

are splinted together can now be immediately loaded on the

day they are placed. This means that implants no longer need to

fully integrate and heal for an extended period of time before teeth can be secured to them.

Why is the Team Important?

Teeth-in-a-day requires a team approach utilizing the expertise of your dentist, a

surgeon and a qualified dental technician

to make this otherwise lengthy process happen in

one short day.

Is it Really Teeth-in-a-Day?

On the day of surgery, the patient receives provisional or

temporary set of teeth that will later need to be replaced with a final prosthesis called a

fixed hybrid bridge after the implants have fully integrated and healed.

Step 1 - Impressions

First impressions, a bite registration and photos are taken of your current dentition at your dentist’s office.

Step 2 – Teeth Fabricated

Next, a temporary set of teeth are made before the

day of dental implant surgery that will be

modified to become a custom fixed bridge during surgery by a qualified dental

lab partner.

Step 3 – Surgery

On the day of surgery, remaining teeth are

extracted and implants are placed then immediately

loaded with the temporary set of teeth once the teeth are customized to fit onto

the implants secured by implant screws.

Step 4 – Check Function

Within one week, your dentist will

check the function of your new teeth.

Step 5 – Final Restoration

After the implants have healed for 6 months, a

permanent set of teeth will then be fabricated and

secured onto a fixed titanium implant bar making it a fixed

hybrid bridge. This will happen in 3 or more

appointments at your dentist’s office.

Temporary Set of Teeth

Your provisional or temporary set of teeth will be made completely from acrylic incorporating the abutments

that will attach the bridge to the dental implants. This prosthesis will extend back to the first molar area

which is necessary for proper implant healing.

Permanent Set of Teeth

Your permanent or final set of teeth will be made with acrylic incorporating a titanium framework for long-term support that will be anchored to the dental implants with prosthetic screws through holes in the prosthesis. These holes will be covered and disappear after inserting the prosthesis. You final prosthesis will go back to the second

molar area in most cases.

Why Use Your Dentist for Teeth-in-a-Day?

Your dentist knows you best!

Your dentist has monitored and documented your oral health history and has all the information necessary at hand to offer the best options for your personal oral situation.

Your dentist has the freedom to choose your team based on his/her experiences and the particular needs of your personal oral situation.

Your dentist will provide the continuing care you need and deserve for a lifetime!

Maintaining Your New Smile

Screws may need to be replaced each time your dentist removes the prosthesis. Good hygiene habits will reduce how often this needs to be done. This is part of regular necessary maintenance.

The titanium bar lasts for life in most cases, but the

teeth may need to be replaced every 5-8 years depending on they type of teeth you choose, your opposing dentition and wear.

Consistently wearing a night guard provided by your dentist will help to protect your restoration.

While teeth-in-a-day is a final full arch solution, your new fixed implant bridge will need to be maintained in the following ways:

Maintaining Your New Smile

Daily hygiene using a soft toothbrush with light pressure followed by proxy brush and/or Waterpik™ to clean under the prosthesis and around the implants. (Avoid regular toothpaste and other harsh abrasives)

Regular hygiene visits to your dentist to treat both arches

every 6 months.

Keep your provisional in case your final set of teeth needs to be repaired for any reason preventing any emergencies.
