Teeth In A Day in Belleview
If you've been managing failing teeth, a loose lower denture, or years of patchwork repairs, the idea of waiting months with gaps in your smile is often the biggest reason people put off treatment. Teeth In A Day exists for exactly that reason. For patients in Belleview who are tired of planning meals around what their teeth can handle, this approach replaces an entire arch of teeth with implant-supported teeth placed the same day as surgery — so you leave with a full smile rather than an empty mouth and a long wait.
Teeth In A Day is a full arch implant treatment. Instead of replacing each missing tooth with its own implant, we place a small number of implants into the jawbone and anchor a complete fixed bridge onto them. Because the implants are angled and positioned to take advantage of your strongest available bone, they can often support a temporary set of teeth immediately. That same-day set is functional and esthetic, and it stays with you while your bone heals and fuses to the implants over the following months.
This is the same family of care as All-on-4 dental implants, implant-supported dentures, and implant-supported bridges, and part of what we offer in full mouth reconstruction. For Belleview patients, the practical difference is simple: you aren't wearing a removable appliance during healing, and you aren't hiding your smile. Our on-site dental lab is a meaningful part of how we deliver this. Having lab work handled in the same building means fabrication, adjustments, and repairs happen without shipping cases out and waiting on an outside schedule.
Good candidates are usually people who have lost most or all of the teeth in an arch, or who have remaining teeth that are failing from advanced gum disease, fractures, or extensive decay. Patients who already wear a complete or partial denture and dislike the movement, the adhesive, or the limits on what they can eat are frequently strong candidates as well. Age alone is not the deciding factor — bone volume, gum health, and overall health matter more.
Not everyone has enough bone to support implants on day one, and we'll tell you honestly if that's the case. When bone is thin or has receded after long-term tooth loss, bone grafting or sinus lift surgery may be recommended first to build a stable foundation. We also evaluate and treat gum disease before or alongside implant planning, since healthy tissue supports long-term implant success. If Teeth In A Day isn't the right fit, we'll walk you through alternatives such as conventional dentures, snap-in dentures, or traditional dental implants.
What the Process Looks Like
It begins with a consultation and exam, including imaging and an oral cancer screening as part of a thorough evaluation. We discuss your goals, review your medical history, and map out the arch or arches being treated. Cosmetic smile-design consultations are available, so decisions about tooth shape, length, and shade are made deliberately rather than left to chance.
On surgery day, any remaining teeth in the arch are removed with simple or surgical extraction, the implants are placed, and your provisional teeth are fitted and adjusted. Comfort options include nitrous oxide sedation and oral sedation dentistry. Here's what Belleview patients can generally expect:
- A planning visit with imaging, exam, and a written treatment discussion
- Extractions and implant placement in one surgical appointment
- A fixed temporary bridge attached the same day
- A healing period with periodic check-ins and adjustments
- A final, custom-fabricated bridge once the implants have integrated
Healing, Aftercare, and Long-Term Maintenance
The first days call for a soft diet, prescribed rinses or medications, and rest. We give written instructions and stay reachable — and because we offer emergency dental appointments, you aren't left guessing if something feels off over a weekend. Swelling and tenderness are normal early on and ease as healing progresses.
Once your final bridge is placed, maintenance becomes the priority. Implants don't decay, but the gum and bone around them still need care. We provide implant maintenance and periodontal maintenance with our hygienist, along with cleaning techniques specific to a fixed full arch. Night guards are available if clenching or grinding could stress the restoration.
Insurance, Payment, and Getting Started from Belleview
We accept all major PPO insurance plans and welcome self-pay patients, and flexible payment plans are available so cost can be spread out. We'll give you a clear breakdown before treatment begins — no surprises mid-process.
Belleview patients have been part of our practice throughout our more than 30 years serving Marion County, and no referral is needed to be seen. Dr. Hussein Salifu and Dr. Marco Geris are happy to review whether Teeth In A Day fits your situation and answer every question before you commit to anything.
