Same day teeth

Teeth in a day is a process offered at Brickstables Dental & Implant Clinic in Colchester where patients can have implants placed and fully functioning teeth attached in the space of one day.

Traditional implant procedures require between three and six months between placing an implant and restoring with the final replacement teeth. This ensures that following placement, the area completely heals and the implant bonds with the jaw, before it bears any load from the permanent replacement teeth. During this time, temporary restorations are often provided to ensure you are not left with any gaps.

With the latest technological advances at Brickstables Dental & Implant Clinic, it is now possible to place an implant and restore with the final replacement crown, bridge or dentures immediately, ensuring you can walk out of the clinic with your new smile in one day.

Same day smile can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or to anchor a complete set with denture stabilisation.

The treatment is simple, fast and there is no need to wear a temporary denture. Contact your local Colchester on 01206 764111 today to find out more.

Diagnostics

• The dentist will take an X-ray and impression of your jaw, to produce an exact copy as a study model
• A removable denture will then be constructed for the intended teeth and will be transformed into a template for the CT scanning
• If required, a CT scan may be taken to help visualise and diagnose the jaws 3 dimensionally, to ensure there is enough bone to place the dental implants – This will also establish where your nerves and sinuses are
