Teeth in a Day Frisco

Can I Get a Fixed Denture in A Single Day?

Unlike conventional dentures that often need weeks before finalization, same-day restorations can be easily placed in a single visit to the dentist. We know our patients cannot wait endlessly for their missing teeth to be replaced. This is why we work quickly to decrease the amount of time spent with an incomplete smile. Instead, we can provide the highest-quality, permanent solution that looks and feels like natural teeth.

Our One-Day Denture Procedure

• Before Your Appointment — Before scheduling your appointment for a permanent tooth procedure, you will initially undergo a detailed oral examination performed by an experienced dentist. This procedure is undertaken to ensure you are a suitable candidate. The dentist will examine your X-ray and CT scan as well as the 3-D digital imaging reports to assess the volume and thickness of the available jawbone where the new roots need to be placed. Careful planning of the angulation and the position of the artificial root will be completed ahead of time to streamline your fixture placement on the day of the appointment.
• On the Day of Your Appointment — Before you arrive for the procedure at Highland Oak Dental, the abutment, temporary crown, and all of the tools will be ready. As tooth replacement is a surgical procedure you will be administered anesthesia before beginning the process. The dentist will determine whether local sedation or general anesthesia should be administered depending on the expected duration of the procedure. After you are completely sedated and free from any pain, an incision will be made by the dentist into the soft tissues of the overlying jawbone. Thereafter, holds will be made into the bone for the new roots to be carefully drilled into position while applying precise and controlled pressure as needed. Finally, a prefabricated prosthesis will be attached to the fixed bridge to complete the artificial tooth structure.

Teeth in a Day Vs. Traditional Dentures

Conventional and modernized dental restorations can be used for permanent replacement of missing teeth. Dentists need to wait a few weeks after placing the artificial tooth in the case of conventional restorations to ensure sufficient bone formation has occurred around it. This ensures that they will be firmly held in position. On the other hand, improvements in the latest surgical skills now provide dentists with an option to load fresh restorations instantly. This ensures that you don’t have to wait while your implant prosthesis is prepared.

Why Get Teeth in a Day?

Are you wondering why you should discard your existing dentures and get dental implants in a single day? The following reasons will convince you:

No Wait Time

Patients understandably do not like to wait while their replacement set is being prepared in a laboratory. We take care of any diseased or failing ones and plan a replacement option. This ensures you get your new permanent fixed dentures just that quickly.

Durability

Unlike removable dentures (which need frequent repairs or replacements) your supported prosthesis is permanent and rarely needs to be repaired. Are you aware that if you care for your fixed restorations in line with the instructions provided by your dentist, you can expect them to last you for a lifetime?

Natural Feeling

As the replacements are positioned in the jawbone similarly to natural ones, they will provide you with a natural feeling after the placement, giving you the comfort of enjoying the foods you want.

Conservation Of the Jawbone Volume

Have you ever been told that wearing removable dentures can result in significant resorption of the jawbone? This isn’t really the case because they have the potential to promote bone formation around them and therefore preserve the integrity, volume, and quality of the residual jawbones.

Eliminating The Need for Removable Dentures

Are you fed up with removing your dentures every time you head to bed? We have some good news for you. Fixed teeth are permanent and therefore do not need to be removed. You can look after the hygiene of your replacements just as your natural ones. Develop a habit of brushing and flossing regularly and you won’t encounter any problems.

Enjoy Your Favorite Foods

Another excellent reason to discard your old dentures is the ease of having all types of foods. Thanks to fixed dentures for the full mouth, you can begin enjoying all the foods you want immediately.
