Teeth-in-a-Day IN LAS VEGAS & HENDERSON, NV
ANTHEM PERIO, LAS VEGAS' CHOICE FOR ADVANCED PERIODONTICS
Teeth-in-a-Day are a type of dental implant commonly suggested for patients who are missing most or all their teeth. Unlike traditional implants, which use one titanium post per tooth, Teeth-in-a-Day implants provide full implant support using only four or six strategically placed titanium posts in your jaw. Over time, these titanium posts will fuse with your natural bone, after which a crown can be placed to the now adhered post. Teeth-in-a-Day are an effective method for returning patients back to their normal daily activities and help prevent other health issues and lifestyle disruptions from occurring, such as jaw joint issues, drifting teeth, jawbone deterioration, and/or difficulty chewing.

The Teeth-in-a-Day Procedure
An initial consultation and general examination will be necessary to determine if Teeth-in-a-Day is the right treatment option for you. During this visit, we will review your health history, discuss your oral health concerns and goals, and examine your teeth, gums, and cheeks to determine your overall health and identify any underlying issues. Following this examination, we will explain available treatment options and answer any questions you have.
If it is determined that Teeth-in-a-Day is necessary, your follow-up appointment will begin with administration of a local anesthetic and/or sedation. Next, four to six titanium posts will be placed in your jawbone, after which the area will be stitched shut and allowed time to heal and for the posts to integrate with the jawbone. While waiting for this fusion to take place, you will be provided with temporary dentures. Once the posts have fully integrated, the dentures will be placed and your bite will be tested to ensure the fit is correct. Once this is determined, the procedure will be complete and you can begin to enjoy your restored, healthy smile!

Aftercare Following Teeth-in-a-Day
Once the Teeth-in-a-Day procedure is complete, we will provide post-operative instructions to ensure that you minimize your risk of developing complications and enjoy a fast a recovery time. One of the most important aftercare instructions to follow is sticking to a soft food diet and avoid chewing in the procedural area for at least two weeks, after which you can begin to reintroduce harder foods. It is also common to experience sensitivity and swelling following the procedure, but this can typically be managed using ice packs and over the counter pain relieving medication. If you are prescribed pain relieving medication and/or antibiotics, it is essential to follow the recommended dose until the prescription runs out.
Once you have fully recovered, you can return to your normal diet and self-care practices, however, taking consistent good care of your oral health will reduce the likelihood of needing similar treatments in the future, especially if this procedure was performed because of improper or insufficient self-care. Make it a habit to brush your teeth twice daily (at a minimum) for at least two minutes each time. Also, remember to brush your tongue and cheeks, as well as behind the lower and upper front teeth.
Flossing at least once a day and being mindful of the type of foods and beverages you consume are also important steps to maintaining good oral health and preserving the integrity of your implants. Finally, continuing to schedule regular checkups every six months (or more if necessary) is the most important step you can take to maintain your oral health and identify and correct issues before they develop into something more significant. By following these best practices, you will maximize the longevity of your implants and continue to enjoy good oral health!
