What are Full-Arch Implants or “Teeth-in-a-Day”?

“Full Mouth” and “Teeth in a Day” are terms used to describe a procedure that allows patients to receive replacement teeth in just one day. You may hear of other versions of this procedure such as “Teeth in an Hour,” “Dental Implants in One Day,” “Teeth In One Day,” “Teeth In One Visit.” While they go by many names, all refer to a one-day implant treatment which restores a full arch of replacement teeth.

The Full Mouth treatment concept utilizes four dental implants to attach your new set of permanent replacement teeth in a minimally invasive way. The dental implants used in this procedure are specially designed for immediate function and typically do not require Bone Grafting. This treatment is attractive for those patients with dentures or in need of full upper and / or lower restorations. If you’re about to lose your teeth or have many missing teeth, the Teeth-in-a-Day procedure can help you achieve a beautiful smile and teeth in just one day.

Unlike other approaches that involve more laborious and costly techniques often requiring bone grafting, sinus lifts, and eight or more implants per arch which can take up to 3 years to complete treatment, Dr. Patel uses a proven technique that involves using four strategically placed implants without the need for bone grafts and sinus lifts. Your new dentures can be completed in just one day.

The result is a solid base of teeth that are fixed in place and are not removed. This lowers your investment costs and exponentially reduces healing times, allowing our patients to regain their original youthful smile and original function faster and more reliably.

What is the process for getting “Full Mouth” and “Teeth-in-a-Day” Implants?

Four appliances are placed into the jawbone and gums and left to heal sufficiently before the implant bridge is secured in place. Once implanted, the bridge will never need to be removed and will resemble the appearance of your natural teeth.

As with all Dental Implants, Full-Mouth Dental Implants are placed during an outpatient surgical procedure in Dr. Patel's office.

Before leaving Dr. Patel's office, you’re fitted with a fixed complete denture with the prosthetic arch. After the implants have fully integrated with the bone, you can return to receive a second, stronger denture.

What are the benefits of the “Teeth-in-a-Day” Procedure?

In addition to the short treatment time frame, Full-Mouth Dental Implants have several advantages over dentures:

• You have new teeth in as little as just one day

• It’s a minimally invasive procedure

• There is less pain and swelling

• No more ill-fitting dentures

• It eliminates denture adhesives

• Your new teeth are secure as your natural teeth

• Fewer dental visits are required

• It’s cost-effective compared to traditional implants

• It is a life-changing procedure

Who is a good candidate for full-arch Implants?

Dental implants are widely regarded as the best treatment for loose dentures. Permanent dental implants are designed to make dentures much more secure and enable you to smile, eat and talk confidently. We can assist you if you have been thinking about investing in implants.
