Teeth-in-a-Day

Implant Dentistry in Wallingford, CT: Teeth-in-a-Day

Teeth-in-a-Day in Wallingford, CTPatients often select the Teeth-in-a-Day procedure to rectify issues like severe periodontal disease (gum disease), traumatic oral injury, advanced gum recession, or loose teeth that cannot be saved and need to be extracted. Teeth-in-a-day is often a more convenient solution than traditional dentures and can provide greater stability.

This procedure has revolutionized implant dentistry technology by requiring only one visit for completion.

Am I a Good Candidate for Teeth-in-a-Day?

Overview of the Procedure

• A consultation and examination is given before the actual procedure.
• The patient is administered a local anesthetic.
• Unless the procedure is being performed for previously missing teeth, the teeth in the areas being treated are removed.
• The site is reshaped to make a channel for the implant.
• A titanium implant is inserted into the channel and surgically placed in the alveolar bone, which is the bone that contains tooth sockets.
• An abutment is placed over the exposed implant and is visible just above the gum line.
• A temporary dental crown is placed to protect the healing implant area. The temporary will need to be in place for up to six months.
• A permanent crown eventually replaces the temporary.
