Restore a Full Arch of Missing Teeth
Patients who are missing a full arch of teeth often assume that dental implants can’t help them. In fact, this is far from the case as Dr. Henninger is happy to offer Teeth-in-a-Day implant dentures. Using just four to six dental implants, he can secure a full denture to your jaw for an attractive and stable solution. Best of all, he’ll complete the whole surgery in just one appointment.
Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures won’t ever fall out or slide around in your mouth. Instead, they’re permanently anchored to your jaw for unmatched security and convenience. Explore our guide to learn more about Teeth in a Day and how it can benefit you.
How Our Technology Improves Your Procedure
Dr. Henninger uses our advanced CBCT scanner to create a 3D digital model of your entire mouth. This allows us to observe factors such as your level of bone density in detail and plan your dental implant surgery with unmatched precision.
Our Vista dental practice is one of the few that also creates a physical model to compare to the digital one. This additional perspective offers further insight and helps us provide even more accurate treatment.
Am I a Candidate for Teeth-in-a-Day?
Any patient who is missing a full arch of teeth may benefit from Teeth-in-a-Day. The procedure is much faster and less-invasive than replacing each tooth individually, and the restoration offers much greater functionality and convenience than traditional dentures.
Typically, dental implants require a strong jawbone, but Teeth-in-a-Day maximizes your healthy tissue to eliminate the need for a bone graft. Best of all, you won’t have to wait months to show off your new smile — instead, you’ll walk out of our office with a healthy and beautiful smile right away. When you visit our office for a consultation, our San Diego dental implant provider will determine if Teeth-in-a-Day is the best treatment option for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between dental implants and Teeth-in-a-Day?
A dental implant is a titanium post that’s inserted in your jaw to replace the natural tooth root. Implants are used to support a crown, bridge, or denture, depending on your needs.
Teeth-in-a-Day is a specialized treatment that uses four to six dental implants to secure a full-arch denture, providing you with a new set of teeth in just one appointment. Unlike with traditional implants, you can replace all of your teeth at once and enjoy the benefits of a stunning smile immediately.
Do I need a bone graft to get Teeth-in-a-Day?
Teeth-in-a-Day is unique among dental implant treatments in that it doesn’t require a strong, healthy jawbone. The treatment involves strategically placing your implants to maximize your healthy bone tissue, making a bone graft unnecessary. This allows many patients who don’t qualify for traditional implants to restore their smile.
How long does Teeth-in-a-Day last?
Dental implants are extremely durable and can last a lifetime with proper care. Typically, they’ll last at least fifteen years. Your dentures will likely need to be replaced every five to ten years, though they may last longer if you maintain excellent oral hygiene habits.
