Teeth in a Day is a unique restoration supported by dental implants. Rather than removing a natural tooth, then surgically placing dental implants, then designing the restoration, then attaching the restoration over the course of months, Teeth in a Day streamlines this entire process. Instead of surgically placing the implants and asking you to spend months without teeth, your dentist can immediately place a load implant-retained removable denture. Usually, you will need to have your restoration adjusted or replaced once your smile has fully healed before your dentist permanently attaches the final restoration.
Should You Consider Teeth in a Day?
If you are missing all of your teeth or will soon have teeth extracted, you may want to consider Teeth in a Day. If you are healthy and you have chosen to proceed with this procedure immediately following your tooth loss you will have the highest chance for success.
How Does Teeth in a Day Work?
The traditional implant process can take four to nine months to completely heal, Teeth in a Day can give you a restoration you need by the time you are ready to leave the dental office. Your dentist will begin by capturing a high-resolution CT scan of your jawbone structure, which will instruct them where to place the implants. Then, a non-removable appliance is created to attach to the implants immediately after they are placed, providing reliable functionality. Usually, you will actually receive two restorations. Once they receive your initial, temporary restoration they will begin the Teeth in a Day process. Your dentist will start by removing any damaged teeth. Then, they will surgically place the dental implant posts, and position the temporary restoration on the post. After your implants have had sufficient time to heal, you will visit your dentist so they can place abutments, the attachment pieces, and make impressions that will be used to create your final restoration or also adjust your temporary denture to be attached to the implant posts.

The average price for the Teeth in a Day procedure begins at $18,500. While this is not cheap, it is actually very cost-effective when you consider the average price of replacing a single tooth with a dental implant starts at around $2,500. These numbers are just averages, and it is important to realize that the cost of an implant procedure can vary from patient to patient depending on the specific situation.
