If you’re searching for a durable, long-lasting solution to replace multiple missing teeth, Teeth-in-a-Day may be the ideal option. This treatment closely resembles traditional dentures in design but is securely anchored with dental implants. Many patients who wear conventional dentures struggle with slippage, discomfort, and difficulty eating or speaking. Implant-supported dentures eliminate these issues by offering improved retention and support. In some cases, we can even retrofit an existing denture to work with implants, making it a cost-effective solution for many patients.
The process begins with the placement of dental implants. These small, screw-like posts are surgically inserted into your jawbone to serve as stable anchors for the denture. Depending on your specific needs, four to six implants are typically required to support a full arch. With the Teeth-in-a-Day approach, our oral surgeon can place your implants and secure the denture in a single appointment. This advanced method not only saves time but also delivers results that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
To learn more about implant-supported dentures or to schedule your next visit with Dr. Lines or Dr. Hoaglin, we invite you to contact Arizona Center for Oral Surgery today. We’re here to help you achieve a confident, functional smile—without the wait.
Frequently Asked Questions — Teeth-In-A-Day in Glendale, AZ
1. What does “Teeth-In-A-Day” mean, and how is it different from standard implants?
“Teeth-In-A-Day” (also called same-day implants or immediate load implants) refers to placing implants and a temporary set of teeth in a single appointment. Instead of waiting months between implant placement and attaching the prosthetic, you leave with teeth that same day.
2. Am I a candidate for Teeth-In-A-Day in Glendale / the Valley?
Many people are eligible, particularly if they have sufficient jawbone strength, healthy gums, and no active infection. However, not everyone qualifies — factors like bone volume, overall health, and gum condition are evaluated before deciding.
3. What is recovery like after getting Teeth-In-A-Day?
You can expect some swelling, tenderness, and mild discomfort. Because the implants carry a temporary prosthesis, it’s especially important to avoid excess pressure on them during healing. You’ll be instructed on a soft-food diet and gentle oral hygiene. Over time, as the bone integrates with the implants, more normal chewing can resume.
4. Are there increased risks or disadvantages compared to traditional implants?
Yes — immediate loading can carry a slightly higher risk of marginal bone loss or implant failure if conditions aren’t ideal. Because of the faster timeline, meticulous planning, implant stability, and patient compliance are essential.
5. How much does Teeth-In-A-Day cost, and does insurance cover it?
Costs vary based on your specific case: how many implants, complexity, materials, and additional procedures (like extractions or grafts). While dental insurance may cover part of it, you’ll often need to cover the rest out of pocket. At your consultation with Arizona Center for Oral Surgery, we’ll review a cost estimate and financing options.
