Teeth In A Day in Silver Springs
If you've been living with loose dentures, failing teeth, or a bite that makes eating a frustrating guessing game, the idea of waiting months for a solution can feel discouraging. That's the situation Teeth In A Day was designed to solve. For our patients from Silver Springs, it means arriving with teeth that no longer work and leaving the same day with a fixed, implant-supported set you can smile and speak with right away — no long stretch of going without teeth while your mouth heals.
Teeth In A Day is a full arch dental implant treatment. Instead of replacing teeth one at a time, we place a set of implants into the jawbone and attach a full arch of fixed teeth to them during the same visit. The implants act like tooth roots, anchoring the new teeth so they stay put while you chew, talk, and laugh. Related approaches you may have heard of — All-on-4 dental implants, implant-supported bridges, and full mouth dental implants — fall under the same umbrella, and we help you sort out which design fits your mouth.
What makes this possible in our office is our on-site dental lab. Because we fabricate and adjust restorations in-house rather than shipping everything out, we can coordinate surgery and the delivery of your new teeth efficiently. For Silver Springs patients who'd rather not make repeated long trips for lab adjustments, that in-house capability saves real time.
Many of the Silver Springs patients we treat come to us after years of patching things up. Some have a mouth full of broken, decayed, or periodontally involved teeth and are tired of one extraction after another. Others already wear complete dentures and are worn out from adhesives, sore spots, and a plate that shifts during dinner. Some have lost several teeth in one arch and want something fixed rather than removable.
Candidacy depends mostly on your jawbone and your overall oral health. We evaluate bone volume and density, gum health, bite, and the condition of any remaining teeth. If bone is thin where implants need to go, bone grafting or sinus lift surgery can sometimes build the foundation first. Active gum disease is treated before implants are placed — we offer scaling and root planing, gum disease treatment, and periodontal surgery when needed. If a fixed arch isn't the right fit, we'll say so and walk you through alternatives like implant-supported dentures, snap-in dentures, or conventional complete and partial dentures.
- A consultation and exam where we review your goals, take records, and evaluate bone and gum health
- A written treatment plan that explains the arch or arches involved and any preparatory work
- Surgery day: any needed extractions, implant placement, and attachment of your fixed provisional teeth
- A healing period while the implants integrate, with follow-up visits to check fit and comfort
- Delivery of your final restoration, made and refined with help from our on-site lab
What Surgery Day and Recovery Look Like
On the day of treatment, we handle simple or surgical extractions as needed, place the implants, and secure your new arch. Comfort options include nitrous oxide sedation and oral sedation dentistry, which we discuss with you ahead of time so there are no surprises. Plan on someone driving you home to Silver Springs if sedation is used.
Recovery involves some swelling and tenderness, which is normal after oral surgery. We send you home with clear instructions: a soft diet while the implants integrate, gentle cleaning around the new teeth, and guidance on rinsing. Follow-up appointments let us check healing and make adjustments. Should something feel off between visits — a sore spot, a loose feeling, or a question about what you can eat — we see emergency appointments and would rather hear from you early.
Long-Term Care and Paying for Treatment
Implants don't get cavities, but the gum and bone around them still need attention. We provide implant maintenance and periodontal maintenance visits with our hygienist, plus regular exams and oral cancer screenings. Night guards are available if clenching or grinding puts extra stress on your restoration. Keeping these appointments is the single best thing you can do to protect your investment.
On cost, we accept all major PPO insurance plans and file claims as a general practitioner, and we welcome self-pay patients. Flexible payment plans are available, and we'll go over the numbers before treatment begins so you can decide with full information.
Our team — including Dr. Hussein Salifu and Dr. Marco Geris — has cared for this area for over 30 years. If you're in Silver Springs and ready to talk through Teeth In A Day, we'd be glad to see you.
