Same day teeth in Hereford

The same day teeth procedure

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

Implant placement

• On the day of treatment, we will place all your implants, numbing your mouth completely so you won't feel any pain
• Once the implants are fitted, we will check them, fit your replacement teeth, and make any necessary adjustments

Permanent restoration

• You will need to see us for occasional check-ups over the next six months or so
• When your gums have completely healed and your implants have bonded with the bone, we will take new impressions of your mouth and create a final, stronger, permanent set of teeth
• The final solution can include both removable and fixed prostheses
• The fixed solution will include an implant bridge with porcelain or acrylic crowns cemented to the framework of the bridge
• The removable solutions include over-dentures on an implant bar that is attached by a variety of attachment systems
