What is Teeth in a Day?

Teeth in a Day refers to the four dental implants that are used to hold your new teeth in place, with two being on the top of the mouth and two on the bottom. The treatment is often referred to as 'on all four'. The four implants are gently placed into the jaw, making it impossible for your teeth to fall or slip out once placed inside your mouth. As we've invested in the latest cutting-edge technology, we are able to take advanced images of your mouth by using our CT scan, something which is rarely found outside of a hospital. We then take the 3D images and handcraft a beautiful set of new, natural looking teeth which will best suit the unique shape of your mouth and smile.

Can anyone get Teeth in a Day?

Teeth in a Day is suitable for patients who may have grown tired of using dentures, need new dentures or are possibly missing all/most of their teeth. Teeth in a Day is different to standard implant treatments. In most cases, a suitable patient for dental implants would need a strong jaw and healthy gums. However, with Teeth in a Day, the implants are placed towards the front of the jaw which reduces the need for gone grafting.

What is the main difference between Teeth in a Day and traditional dentures?

Although Teeth in a Day is achieved using a set of dentures, these teeth are permanently fixed into place making them look and feel completely natural, without the fear of them slipping out like a traditional, ill-fitting denture. Traditional dentures can quickly become worn, feel uncomfortable in the mouth and are often misplaced. With Teeth in a Day you no longer have to use denture creams or remove them at night. You can eat, drink and laugh in confidence and comfort once again, thanks to Teeth in a Day.
