An introduction to Teeth-in-a-Day™ FAQs about immediately rebuilding your smile with implants in one visit
State-of-the-art technologies play a vital role in our ability as a specialty center to provide the care that supports optimal and precise treatment and patient comfort, satisfaction, and safety. Notably, Associates for Oral, Maxillofacial & Implant Surgery provide Teeth-in-a-Day, an innovative approach to rebuilding smiles whose benefits transcend the obvious convenience and efficiency associated with delivering new teeth in one visit to our offices in Mount Prospect, Bartlett, Elk Grove Village, and Chicago, Illinois.
What is this concept?
Teeth-in-a-Day™ is a technology developed by Nobel Biocare, the leader in implant restorations. This technology allows our specialists, Drs. Russell Spinazze, Mark Spinazze, and Eliza Drobny deliver fully functioning teeth attached to dental implants in a single, hour-long appointment.
How is this accomplished?
We collaborate with your general dentist or any other professional who may be rebuilding your new teeth or restorations. This approach ensures precise placement of the implants for holding your new teeth and ensures safety at every step. The steps themselves include fabricating the final appliance or prosthesis before surgery. We also use computer-guided surgical techniques to ensure that the implants are placed arthroscopically or in the most minimally invasive and tissue-preserving way possible. Generally, the less invasive the procedure, the better. These techniques minimize post-operative tenderness, swelling, and bruising. Often, our patients can return to their “normal” activities the next day.
What can I expect if I’m a good candidate for Teeth-in-a-Day™?
We start with a CT or CAT scan. This scan provides a visual depiction of your jawbone. It also allows us to create a 3-dimensional model of the jawbone. This 3D model can then be integrated with special virtual reality software to simulate the treatment process, aiding treatment planning. The success of the implant depends very much on the accuracy of the plan that guides treatment. This blend of advanced software and imaging supports more accurate placement of the implants in the jaw, as well as the most efficient placement – the type that is celebrated by same-day restorative dentistry services.
Why should I choose Associates for Oral, Maxillofacial & Implant Surgery?
The fact that you never have to be seen in public nor function without teeth is a tremendous benefit. But it’s not the only benefit of partnering with our team on solutions such as Teeth-in-a-Day™. As noted, our approach helps to ensure the precision placement that minimizes the risk of implant failures. In turn, we promote successful treatment and implant-retained teeth the way they are designed to last a lifetime with good oral hygiene at the dentist’s office and at home. We also help promote a better treatment experience, fewer visits, and less time at our offices for both diagnostics/planning and the treatment itself. Our precise and conservative approaches help patients avoid many of the risks of complications associated with conventional restorative dentistry techniques. Uneventful healing is encouraged.
