TEETH IN ONE DAY:

Teeth in one day refers to a procedure in which an implant(s) is placed and a restoration is connected onto the implant the same day follow the surgery.

At New Smile Prosthodontics  and Center for Advanced Implant Dentistry provides teeth in a day for two particular treatments:

1) Anterior Teeth: It consist of extracting a damaged tooth that can’t be saved, placing an implant once the extraction is done; followed by the fabrication of a temporary crown. All of these procedure are done in one day. After 4-6 months of healing, the final restorations are done.

Note: if the a tooth has been removed previously and there is sufficient stabled bone, teeth in one day is possible. Also keep in mind that in many cases there is deficiency of gum if the tooth was removed a while ago. Therefore, a connective tissue graft might be required.

2) Conversion of a Complete Removable Denture into a Fixed Complete Denture:

This procedure consist of placing a minimum 6 implant in the maxillary arch or 4 in the mandibular arch. As soon as the surgery is completed, the removable denture is connected to the implant through temporary abutments converting it into a fixed interim denture. After 4-6 months of healing, the definitive fixed complete denture is fabricated.

Note: Appropriate diagnosis and planning of the correct placement of the implants is very important in order to connect the prosthesis properly. Therefore, computed guided surgery, stereolithographic models (3D-printed bone models), bone reduction guides, surgical templates, among others, are employed for precise position, angulation, depth, diameter and length of the implants.

Teeth in a day requires that your bone be hard enough to gain good initial stability of the implants. After implants are placed, Dr. Paredes will measure the stability of the implant and determine if the implant is stable enough to have a restoration placed.
