Yes! On the day of the New Teeth Now procedure, patients go home with new teeth and a new smile.
New Teeth Now is a sophisticated process designed by the best board-certified oral surgeons in the world. Our surgeons truly have the patient’s best interests at heart. It’s important to understand what the “Now” in New Teeth Now truly means. So, let’s hear what our very own board-certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. David Kirkpatrick, has to say about it.
When Will You Receive Final Teeth Following Your Full Mouth Dental Implant Procedure?
Undergoing a full mouth dental implant procedure is a significant life decision to restore not just the functionality of your bite but also your confidence in your smile. The journey to discovering your new smile is not one that you will take alone. You deserve to have a team of experts who put your interest first at your side. The timing for receiving your final teeth is important, and it shouldn’t be rushed. Here’s why rushing into final teeth too soon can be detrimental to the outcome of dental implants:
Understanding the Healing Process for Same Day Dental Implants
The post-surgery healing process is crucial for the success of dental implants. Your bone needs time to recover and fuse with your new implants. This healing process takes several months. During the healing period, your gums can undergo significant change. Immediately following the implant procedure, your gums will typically be swollen. Swelling is a normal part of the healing process, and your gums shrink to a different level as they heal. The natural shrinkage that occurs during healing is unavoidable. You are refitted for final teeth after healing is complete, ensuring that your new teeth fit properly.
Skipping the healing phase, is not in your best interest. Expediting the placement of final teeth ignores the time required for critical biological processes and risks a less-than-optimal fit between your gums and the new teeth. Impatience on the part of a dentist or surgeon can lead to discomfort and even additional costs down the line.
The Waiting Period: A Necessary Phase
Contrary to the approaches of some clinics that may offer immediate placement of final teeth — sometimes as soon as 24 hours after surgery — reputable dental centers advocate for a waiting period of five to six months. At New Teeth Now, this interval is not because we want you to have to wait but to ensure that your implants and gums have sufficiently stabilized to support the final teeth.
During this waiting period, temporary teeth or bridges are provided to ensure you are not without teeth. These temporaries accommodate the initial changes your mouth undergoes post-surgery, including the crucial gum shrinkage.
Many of our patients wish they had done the procedure sooner. It was worth the end result!
The Value of Precision
Once the gums have healed, precise measurements can be taken to create final teeth that fit your healthy gum tissue. This means no unnecessary gaps that could cause severe speech issues or discomfort. The keyword here is “unnecessary” as there will still be a small gap for functional purposes. If you have a question about the fit of your new teeth, our team will be available throughout the process to answer questions and address your concerns. Our approach ensures that your final teeth not only look natural but feel comfortable and function as close to the real thing as possible.
Think of New Teeth Now as the high-end, tailored option, whereas other clinics offer All-on-4® as a big-box-store solution. Do you really want to entrust the quality of your smile and your health to retail medical services?
The Risk of Rushing
Those clinics that rush the process, placing final teeth before the mouth has fully healed, often leave patients facing avoidable risks and additional costs. As gums shrink and spaces emerge between the bridge and gum line, these patients find themselves returning for adjustments and new bridges, incurring more expenses, discomfort and long-term challenges.
