This is how the Teeth in a Day process works. This can be a complex procedure

for many dentists so we have simplified it here to make it clear and easy to

understand.

Step 1 - Initial Consultation

You come to the practice for an initial consultation. At this meeting your

requirements are discussed along with what it is that you are not happy with

about your smile. The options will then be made apparent to let you know if you

are suitable for the teeth in a day process or whether another process would

work best for you.

The dentist should then provide you with a full written treatment plan before

you commit to anything.

Step 2 - First Impressions

Some impressions of your existing teeth are taken so that the laboratory can

have a replica of your mouth. We then carry out a first round of diagnostics on

this model to work out the best place for your new teeth and to assess how your

top and bottom teeth meet. This may or may not be the same as your existing

teeth- it depends on how much of a change you would like or need.

Step 3 - Bite Assessment

You visit the practice again to check out this diagnostic 'bite block' and it is

adjusted to ensure you are happy with the result. We will then also take another

more accurate impression so that we can progress to the nest stage of

diagnostics.

Step 4 - New Teeth Mock Up

Depending on how many teeth you currently have, and whether we are removing them

or not, we will then produce a mock up of how you will finally look. You may be

able to try this mock up in.

Step 5 - Teeth in a Day

You come to the practice, any standing teeth that require removing are extracted

and we place your new implants. We will then fit your new teeth in a day to

these implants.

For people WITH an existing denture

If you have no existing teeth and have a denture that you currently like, as

far as cosmetics go, then we can use this denture and 'fix' them in for you.

This option works well if the denture is in good condition and bites well

against your opposing teeth, many patients like this option as it maintains

their appearance, but totally stabilises the denture so that it does not rock

around or wobble any longer.

If you so wish, a new denture can be made at a later date, or you could convert

the denture to a new fixed implant bridge.

For people WITHOUT an existing denture

If you have no denture, or a denture that you are not happy with, then we can

make you a new one as part of the Teeth in a Day process. If this is the

preferred option for you we will have a completely free reign to design your

denture how you would like it to look - here are a few options:

  • Natural Look - natural looking teeth that are appropriate to your age

(the older we get the yellower our teeth get), the teeth are not uniform in

colour and will have some natural and slight rotations to them.

  • Hollywood Look - the whitest smile with teeth that tend to be more

uniform in appearance. The teeth will also be totally straight and

completely in line.

We can also make your new dentures anywhere between these looks and we'll be

sure to show you some examples before we start so that you can see what each

look is like.

For people that wish/need to keep some existing teeth

Many people in this situation either have an existing partial denture, although

many others simply live life with missing teeth. Having missing teeth is not a

great option as the surrounding and opposing teeth will have the tendency to

'fall' in to this space creating problems in the future.

If you will be keeping some of your teeth we can make a partial denture in a day

for you that is supported by new dental implants.

For people that wish/need to have all existing teeth removed

If this is you then we will make a new fixed bridge for you to wear as soon as

you leave the practice. The good news is that this type of patient is often the

one that benefits the most from treatment as you start the day with old, broken

down and possibly loose teeth, and go to be that night with a new full set of

great looking and rock solid teeth - a truly dramatic and life transformational

change.

Unbelievably this is the same patient that came to see us for

dental implants

teeth in a day.

He arrives at 0900 in the morning and looked like this. Then by 2pm the same day

he left the practice with his brand new teeth - all in the same day. He truly

ended his day that day with a smile!

 

Keith and his team are responsible for the technical and construction side of the Teeth in a Day process.
