If you had a sneaking suspicion that the conventional teeth in day process seemed too good to be true, you have to read all the way to the end.
While the term “teeth in a day” sounds great, the experience you get from the conventional clinics is full of awful surprises and drawn out WAY too long.
Did you know all the clinics who profess to provide “teeth in a day” actually connect a cheap set of dentures called "TEMPS" to your implants the day of surgery? Then they make you stay in those over sized easily breakable Temps teeth for 6-10 months?
Unfortunately, that may not even be the worst part about that process...
The dentist who’s giving you the “teeth in a day” orders a basic acrylic denture (The Temps). On the day of surgery after you’ve been sedated for 4 or 5 hours the dreaded “denture conversion” begins.
Below is a set of dentures that in other clinics would become your Temporary set of teeth. Notice how big and bulky the dentures are. That is why folks who get the temporary set of teeth often have a hard time speaking. It ends up being almost as embarrassing as not having teeth at all.
For this to work, someone at the clinic then puts some goo inside the denture and places it over your implants to get an estimated location of where to drill holes.
Then the drilling begins
In addition to the bulky nature of the denture, there is no way for these dentures to precisely fit. It’s all guesswork, and with dental implants precision is everything.
In fact, look at this temporary denture converted to “teeth in a day.”
Can you see the holes that were just drilled into the denture?
This is NOT the best treatment for you as the patient and unfortunately it gets worse!
"Teeth In 10 Months"
Sadly, even after 6 months of wearing your “teeth in a day” temps you’re still not able to get your permanent set of teeth fixed in right away.
After the 6 month period where you hope and pray the acrylic temporary denture doesn’t break, you finally start the process of getting your permanent set...
... and what a process it is.
You have to go back for an additional 5-10 appointments to continue to “try in” teeth and verify your permanent set will fit precisely. This process can take an additional 2-4 months depending on the speed of the lab being used.
That’s a total of around 10 months to get the permanent set you thought you were getting in one day!
