Dental implants are one of the biggest advancements in dental technology. They’re a life-changing procedure that can restore your bite and smile following tooth loss. However, the biggest downside of dental implants is the time commitment. They require several appointments over weeks or months, which can be difficult if you have a busy schedule. If you’ve suffered from tooth loss, you’re likely eager to restore your bite as quickly as possible.
Today, it’s possible to receive beautiful, healthy teeth in a fraction of the time. Teeth In One Day is a unique option we offer that helps shorten the time it takes to receive traditional dental implants. This means you won’t have to juggle several appointments over the course of many months. Want to learn more about this exciting procedure offered by Ormond Beach Perio? We’ve got you covered with everything you need to know below:
How Does “Teeth In One Day?” Work?
The first step of Teeth In One Day requires meeting with Dr. Beauchamp for an initial consultation to discuss your health history and validate that you qualify for the procedure. Dr. Beauchamp will also take x-rays, images, and impressions of your current bite, which will be used to create the crowns. Then, you’ll schedule a second appointment a few weeks later for the actual procedure.
On the day of the procedure, Dr. Beauchamp will extract your existing teeth and replace them with new implants. The “roots” installed will be permanent; however, the crowns will be temporary. Once your gums heal from implants, you will need to return to the office to have the permanent crowns placed. Discomfort during the procedure should be minimal, as you’ll receive anesthesia during the process. In many cases, the treatment can be completed in just two to four office visits. The actual procedure can take several hours, but it’s possible to walk out of the office with brand-new teeth on the same day.
Benefits Of Teeth In One Day
Teeth In One Day offers several benefits for patients who need dental implants including:
- Expedited Treatment Time – This procedure reduces the amount of time patients have to live with unhealthy teeth. Fewer appointments make the process easier to manage.
- Less Time Without Teeth – Traditional dental implants can leave patients without teeth for several weeks or months, which can cause oral health problems and challenges. Teeth In One Day resolves that problem by eliminating lengthy periods of time between appointments.
- Fewer Procedures – Traditional dental implants require multiple visits. Extractions, placing the implant, and installing the crowns often take place in separate appointments, but with Teeth In One Day, all of this can be done during one visit.
What To Expect After The Procedure
Teeth In One Day allows you to walk out of the office with a new, bright smile; however, following instructions during the healing process is absolutely critical to the procedure’s success. This is because the body will take time to produce the cells necessary to help fuse the implants with the jawbone.
Healing after the procedure often takes three to six months, and you must stick to a diet (soft foods) approved by your periodontist, not smoke, and follow any additional care instructions. Dr. Beauchamp provides patients with care instructions and a guide that outlines what foods can be eaten. Failing to follow instructions could cause the implants to move.
In the days following the procedure, you may experience some mild discomfort or bleeding, so it will be important to take it easy for a few days.
Teeth In One Day can be a life-changing procedure that allows you to enjoy all the benefits of dental implants in a fraction of the time. The team at Ormond Beach Perio is happy to offer this innovative treatment to our patients. The best way to get started is to schedule your initial appointment with Dr. Beauchamp, and he’ll work with you to draft the best treatment plan today.
