TEETH-IN-A-DAY IMPLANTS What is the procedure? The procedure involves placing four appliances into the gums and jawbones. They are left to heal for sufficient amount of time before securing the implant bridge. Once the bridge is implanted, removing it will never be required and it is going to resemble both the appearance and function of your real teeth. The patient is fitted with a set of permanent real-looking teeth before leaving the dental office. Once these implants have integrated with the jaw bone fully, the patient may do a follow-up to get a stronger second denture. Cost Traditional treatment for a full set of teeth involves placing around 8 implants for every arch in patients with missing or failing teeth, or those who wear dentures. If you consider the cost of every implant surgery, associated materials and follow-ups, it becomes obvious that the concept of few implants saves both time and effort as compared to a traditional implant procedure. Moreover, less dental implant means less healing time. In some cases, a patient may even be able to start drinking and eating as soon as they leave the clinic.
