Fed Up With Dentures – Try Same-Day Teeth!
You might be forgiven for thinking that anyone undergoing dental implants in Richmond is in for a lengthy process and indeed conventional implants can take anywhere between 3-9 months to complete. However one of the latest implant treatments to buck this trend is a process known as Same-Day Teeth.
For many multiple tooth loss sufferers or long-term denture wearers, Same-Day Teeth have the capacity to change the way you think about your dentures or failing teeth for good. As the name suggests Same-Day Teeth give the patient a full set of teeth fitted the very same day.
So how does it work?
Ideally this type of treatment is perfect for patients who have multiple missing teeth or are missing entire rows of teeth (edentulous) and is also good for patients who no longer want the hassle of having to wear conventional dentures. Usually somewhere between 4-6 dental implants will be placed in one sitting, depending upon the needs of the patient, together with provisional teeth. Then after a short period of healing the final teeth are fitted.
So what are the advantages?
Firstly unlike dentures, Same-Day Teeth are a permanent fixture in the mouth therefore a patient no longer has to deal with the problems of denture slippage or watching what they eat. Secondly, because the implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, they halt the bone loss process once and for all. They need minimal or no bone grafting to anchor them in place saving time, inconvenience, and further cost to the patient and finally, it’s a minimally invasive procedure with an immediate outcome.
What does this mean for those without teeth?
For those people who have lived without teeth for any length of time it can be a pretty miserable experience. Now with Same-Day Teeth they can smile, chew, and speak naturally again, safe in the knowledge that they have a permanent set of pearly whites that they don’t have to worry about. Regular brushing, flossing, and 6 monthly dental visits are all it takes to keep new teeth in tip- top condition.
