TeethXpress: Complete Your Smile in One Day!
Dentists everywhere consider dental implants to be the gold standard in tooth replacement, but the process for getting them can take a while. It usually takes multiple appointments over the span of several months before you can enjoy the benefits of your new smile. This can be especially frustrating if you’re missing most or all of your natural teeth.
Fortunately, advancements in dental implant technology have now streamlined the way implants are placed. If you’re suffering from almost complete or complete tooth loss and you can’t wait several months, then Mid-Valley Dental Care has the best implant solution for you. Implant dentists Kayla, Terence, and Casey Lau offer same-day implants with TeethXpress.
What Is TeethXpress?
TeethXpress is an implant dentistry technique from BioHorizons® that uses the minimum amount of implants necessary to keep your denture restoration secured in place. What’s unique about TeethXpress is that it allows the restoration to be placed on the same-day as your appointment. That way, you don’t have to go about your daily life without teeth.
Benefits of TeethXpress
- Prevents the Need for Supplemental Procedures – The TeethXpress implant process makes use of your existing jawbone structure. Even if you have experienced loss of jawbone density (resorption), you should still be able to have your full mouth dental implants placed.
- No Toothlessness or Temporaries – With TeethXpress full mouth dental implants, you don’t have to go through life without teeth, or with temporary restorations. Your permanent restoration will be installed the same day your implants are placed.
- Affordability – Using a minimal number of implants makes TeethXpress a more affordable and cost-effective alternative to traditional, singular dental implants.
- Stability – Unlike dentures, TeethXpress implants stay securely in place, never moving around or falling out. Additionally, the BioHorizons Tapered implants used to hold your restoration are specially made to handle the immediate support of your new smile.
The TeethXpress Implant Process
Consultation
Just like with traditional implants, one of our Northridge implant dentists will have you undergo an initial consultation before approving you for the TeethXpress process. During this visit, your dentist will thoroughly examine your mouth, take X-ray images of your smile, review your medical history, and ask you about your smile goals. We can also go over our sedation dentistry options to help you feel relaxed during your procedure.
Preparation
Once your implant dentist has approved you for the TeethXpress process, they’ll clean your mouth and apply a local anesthetic to the soft tissues around the surgical site. Once they’re sure you’re numb, your implant dentist will make small incisions into your gums where the implants will go.
Placing Your Dental Implants
Your implant dentist will place the appropriate amount of implants into your jawbone. Then, they’ll install your permanent TeethXpress restoration by anchoring it to the implants, ensuring it’s secured. After ensuring that it fits properly, you’ll be free to enjoy your new smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does TeethXpress cost?
The exact cost of your TeethXpress procedure will depend on a number of factors such as your insurance. Implant dentists Drs. Kayla, Casey, and Terence Lau and the staff at Mid-Valley Dental encourage you to contact your provider beforehand to confirm the exact costs they can cover. If you need help affording your treatment, Mid-Valley Dental Care is proud to offer flexible financing options, including third-party financing through LendingClub, CareCredit, and Careington.
How long does the TeethXpress process take?
The TeethXpress process usually takes about three to four hours, however this time frame can vary based on multiple factors. Our implant dentists, Drs. Kayla, Casey, and Terence Lau can give you a more accurate time estimate during your initial consultation. If you think you’ll have a hard time sitting still for that long, sedation dentistry can help you feel relaxed during your procedure.
Who is a candidate for the TeethXpress dental implant process?
You may be a candidate for the TeethXpress process if the following applies to you:
- You’re missing some or all of your teeth
- Your teeth are loose fitting
- You’re looking for immediate smile restoration
- You don’t qualify for supplemental procedures
Your Northridge implant dentist will let you know more about your candidacy for implants during your initial consultation.
What’s the difference between TeethXpress and All-on-4®?
All-on-4 is an implant solution that tends to use no more than four implants to secure a full arch restoration. However, there is no standard limit for the number of implants used for TeethXpress. The TeethXpress process does tend to involve the use of a minimal amount of implants, but every patient is different, so your implant dentist may recommend as many as six or more implants to secure your restoration. Your dentist will be sure to let you know how many implants you’ll need during your initial consultation.
