Tooth extractions are the most common surgical procedure in the United States, with cavities causing 52% of all extractions. If you have teeth that need to be extracted and want replacement teeth quickly, one option to consider is teeth in a day. What is this procedure, and why could it be a good choice for you?
What Are Teeth in a Day?
Teeth in a day is a unique implant-supported denture process that offers replacement teeth on the same day as an extraction. The procedure relies on using four or more dental implants to replace an entire arch of teeth.
The best candidates for teeth in a day are people who:
- Are missing many or all of their teeth
- Have difficulty chewing
- Have difficulty speaking
- Want to avoid further jawbone loss
By scheduling dental implants on the same day that the extractions take place, you can save time because you don’t have to worry about waiting for your jawbone to heal before getting the replacement teeth.
Benefits of Teeth in a Day 
When you lose teeth, your jawbone begins to lose bone density. Your jawbone depends on your teeth’s roots to provide stimulation when you chew. This stimulation promotes the formation of bone cells. If you lose a tooth or have one removed, the root is no longer there to provide the right stimulation, resulting in bone loss.
The more teeth you’re missing, the more serious the bone loss can be. That’s why preventing it from getting worse by getting immediate replacement teeth is crucial. The teeth in a day method helps you achieve that.
You also get full use of your bite. If you have many missing teeth, eating and even speaking can be difficult. By getting replacement teeth quickly, you can start enjoying your favorite meals again.
Teeth in a day look natural and are much sturdier than traditional dentures.
The Teeth in a Day Procedure
If Dr. Harvey Chin thinks you are a good candidate for the teeth in a day procedure, he will take a CBCT scan of your jawbone and teeth, which allows him to find the right spot for the implants. Dr. Chin prefers mini dental implants for these procedures because they do not require as much bone density as standard ones and are much quicker to set into place. Overall, they are a less invasive procedure than other options.
After he places the implants, he fits temporary dentures and attaches them securely. You can then leave the office with a set of new teeth.
Once the implants have time to heal, Dr. Chin will ask you to return to get your permanent dentures.
On the days after the procedure, you want to avoid very hard or sticky foods so that you don’t dislodge the implants.
Get Your Smile Back
If you have missing teeth, it can be tough to eat, speak, or even smile. By turning to a teeth in a day procedure, you can get beautiful and natural-looking replacement teeth in a few hours.
