A revolutionary dental procedure, often referred to as 'teeth in a day', restorative dental implants offer patients transformative results in a short space of time.
Ideal as an alternative to dentures, this procedure is beneficial to people who have lost most or all their teeth and can be carried out in just one day.
Dr Peter Workman, clinical director at Affinity Dental Care & Implant Centre, said: 'This innovative procedure involves placing strategically positioned dental implants into the jawbone, which then support a full arch of prosthetic teeth.
'This method not only provides a secure and fixed solution but also ensures that patients can leave the dental practice with a fully restored smile on the same day.'
While traditional dental implants can take several months to complete, this 'teeth in a day' procedure offers an immediate transformation, with the end result being a new set of teeth that look and feel natural.
Aside from the natural look, dental implants offer patients enhanced comfort. Traditional dentures can slip and cause discomfort, while dental implants are securely anchored into the jaw and provide 'unmatched stability and comfort'.
Dental implants also offer a long-term solution as, with proper care, they could last a lifetime, making them a more cost-effective investment in your oral health.
Peter continues: 'The first step is a comprehensive consultation. During this session, I will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals and develop a personalised treatment plan.
'The procedure itself involves four main steps: preparation, where any remaining teeth are gently removed and the jawbone is prepared to receive the implants; implant placement, where an agreed number of titanium implants are strategically positioned in the jawbone to maximize support and stability.
'Then there's immediate loading, which is where a temporary set of prosthetic teeth is attached to the implants; and then the final restoration, which, after a healing period, the implants fuse with the jawbone and your temporary teeth are replaced with a custom-made, permanent set that offers optimal function and aesthetics.'
For those tired of dealing with the limitations and discomfort of traditional dentures or missing teeth, 'teeth in a day' could be the perfect solution. Ideal candidates for the procedure are people with sufficient jawbone density and in good overall health, but each case is assessed individually.
However, even people who have experienced bone loss may still be eligible due to advancements in implant technology.
