Imagine walking into a dentist with no teeth and walking out with a brand new one in one day. That almost seems too good to be true, doesn’t it? That is the claim of the “Teeth in a Day” procedure. But can it work, or is it a myth? Let’s investigate this intriguing premise.
“Teeth in a Day” is a single-session implant procedure in which implants and a full new mouthful of working teeth are delivered to patients and left with them in one session. It is ideal for full-mouth restoration patients or for many tooth replacements but with no preference for a lengthy traditional implantation period.
Understanding the “Teeth in a Day” Procedure: How It Works
How Do You Get Started?
Here’s a step-by-step analysis:
1. First Consultation:
Your dentist will conduct a detailed examination, maybe X-rays or a CT scan, to assess your jawbone and general mouth health to ensure you’re a suitable candidate for the procedure.
2. Digital Planning:
Computer programs with advanced 3D imaging technology are used to create an individualized treatment plan, mapping out in detail the specific position of the implants.
3. Surgery Day
- Extractions: Decay or damaged teeth are removed if necessary.
- Implant Insertion: Titanium posts are inserted surgically into your jaw, and act as artificial tooth root substitutes.
- Temporary Prosthesis: Once implants have been placed, a temporary prosthetic is inserted, and you can go out with a cosmetic and functional smile.

4. Healing Phase:
During the next several months, the implants integrate with your jawbone. A process called osseointegration. This is important for the long-term success of the implants.
5. Final Restoration:
Once healed, a custom-fabricated, long-term restoration is inserted, one that will function and respond naturally, taking over for temporaries during healing.
Is It Right for You?
While “Teeth in a Day” yields quick results, one must remember that the first teeth will not be lasting ones. There must be a healing period for the long-term solution to work effectively. Not everyone can have it; proper bone density and healthy mouth structures are a must. It is advisable to seek a trained dentist to assess whether such a procedure can work for your requirements.
