New Teeth in One Day
Implant-supported dentures offer the convenience of walking into your dental office needing a single or double arch and walking out with a fully reconstructed smile the same day. However, it’s important to note that while the implants and temporaries can be placed quickly, the full treatment process includes osseointegration, which can take several months. Make sure your dental office has 3D imaging technology and the necessary tools for same-day treatment.
Are You a Denture Implant Candidate?
If you need full mouth reconstruction or a complete arch replacement, All-on-4 implant-supported dentures may be the best option for you. Make an appointment for a consultation with a dentist who has experience in performing implant-supported procedures. If you currently use removable dentures, you may have experienced some bone loss that will need to be addressed first. Your dentist will assess the condition of your jaw bone to determine if implant-supported dentures are suitable for you.
Cost Of Implant Dentures
There are various factors that can impact the cost of same-day dentures, such as the dentist’s location and any additional treatments required like tooth extraction and bone shaping. While the initial cost may seem high, it is actually more cost-effective than replacing each tooth individually. Additionally, same-day dentures offer greater durability and longevity compared to traditional removable dentures.
Snap-in Dentures
Snap-in dentures offer a balance of removability and stability. These dentures securely attach to implants, minimizing movement and enhancing comfort compared to traditional dentures. Their removable design allows for easy cleaning, making them a practical and efficient solution without compromising function.

Procedure Of Denture Implants
The process may vary depending on the specific brand of full arch implant-supported dentures you select. However, we will outline the step-by-step procedure for All-on-4s to provide an overview.
Step 1: Schedule an initial consultation with your dentist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for implant-supported dentures. Your dentist will use 3D imaging to assess your jaw bone structure and plan the aesthetic and functional aspects of your new teeth, such as crown length and bite placement.
Step 2: Your dentist will create a computer simulation of your mouth using 3D imaging to determine the precise placement of each implant. A surgical template may also be prepared to guide the placement.
Step 3: The next step involves the surgical insertion of the four implants, along with any necessary treatments like tooth extraction and bone shaping. The implants will be fitted with abutments and temporary teeth while the jaw bone heals and fuses with the implants. It is important to follow a soft food diet during this recovery period to protect the osseointegration process.
Step 4: Three months after the initial placement, the temporary teeth will be replaced with a permanent fixed denture. Recovery at this stage should be relatively quick and comfortable.
