Our doctors are certified to perform the Teeth-in-a-Day™ procedure, a single-visit treatment that can restore your smile with minimal surgery. We use an innovative technique to perform oral surgery in our office and can replace your teeth with a special type of dental implant. You do not have to wait several months to complete the procedure and can enjoy your beautiful new smile that very same day.
Learn more about dental implants for missing teeth by scheduling your appointment at Shoreline Periodontics and Dental Implants.
At the first visit, hi-resolution photos, digital x-rays, a 3D CBCT scan and a thorough clinical evaluation will take place followed by expert explanation of the case diagnosis and treatment options. During this visit, impressions are taken (to make the replacement teeth), and a detailed financial overview will be presented.
The surgery takes place comfortably under non-IV or IV sedation. During this visit, the extractions (if necessary), bone grafts (if necessary) and implants are administered. Patients can awaken with removable, or implant secured, “temporary” teeth to return home with a beautiful smile. Patients resume a full schedule of activities within 72 hours. Follow-up visits are 1, 4, and 12 weeks after surgery.
When the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone (3 to 4 months later), the “final” teeth are secured. Our team of doctors work closely with patients to ensure the teeth are customized to each patient’s mouth.
There are many people that are told every day that they do not qualify for dental implants due to bone loss or other related conditions. Due to our experience and technology 90% of those people are still candidates for this procedure.
