Teeth In A Day in Reddick
If you've been managing loose dentures, failing teeth, or years of patchwork dental work, the idea of fixing everything in one appointment can sound too good to be true. For many of our Reddick patients, Teeth In A Day is exactly that kind of turning point — a way to arrive with teeth that hurt or shift and leave with a full, fixed set of teeth secured to dental implants. It's a significant procedure, and we take the time to explain every part of it before you commit to anything.
Teeth In A Day is a full arch dental implant treatment. Rather than replacing teeth one at a time, we place a small number of implants into the jawbone and attach a complete arch of fixed teeth to them during the same visit. Depending on your situation, this may be done for the upper arch, the lower arch, or both. It's closely related to All-on-4 dental implants and implant-supported bridges, and it's a permanent alternative to removable dentures that slip, click, or require adhesive.
The appeal for our Reddick patients is straightforward. Reddick is a small community, and traveling for repeated dental visits adds up — time off work, time away from family, and fuel. Teeth In A Day consolidates what would otherwise be many separate appointments into a far shorter timeline. Our on-site dental lab is a big part of why we can do this. Instead of shipping work out and waiting weeks, our lab technicians fabricate and adjust your teeth right here, so changes happen the same day rather than at the next appointment.
Not everyone is a candidate, and we'd rather tell you that honestly up front than discover it mid-treatment. Good candidates usually have teeth that are failing beyond repair due to advanced gum disease, extensive decay, fractures, or long-term wear — or they're already wearing complete or partial dentures and are tired of the limitations. Adequate jawbone to anchor the implants is the other key factor, which we assess during your consultation.
If bone volume is thin, that doesn't automatically rule you out. We offer bone grafting and sinus lift surgery to rebuild support where it's needed, and we also place traditional dental implants when a full arch isn't the right answer. Some Reddick patients come to us expecting Teeth In A Day and leave with a plan for implant-supported dentures, snap-in dentures, or a conventional partial instead. Our job is to match the treatment to your mouth, your health, and your budget — not the other way around.
What the Process Looks Like From Start to Finish
Your first visit is an evaluation and conversation. We examine your remaining teeth and gums, review your medical history, take images to assess bone, and discuss what you want your smile to do and look like. Because we also offer cosmetic smile-design consultations, this is the point where we talk about tooth shape, size, and color — details that matter once the teeth are in.
On the treatment day itself, here's generally what to expect:
- Any remaining failing teeth are removed using simple or surgical extraction
- Implants are placed into the jawbone at planned positions for maximum support
- Impressions and measurements are taken and sent directly to our in-house lab
- A fixed set of teeth is attached to the implants the same day
- We check your bite, make adjustments, and review home care before you leave
Comfort is planned, not improvised. We offer nitrous oxide sedation and oral sedation dentistry, and we'll discuss which option suits you during planning. You'll go home with clear instructions and a direct line to us if anything concerns you.
Healing, Aftercare, and Long-Term Maintenance
The first several weeks are about letting the implants integrate with your bone. We'll guide you through a softer diet, cleaning around the new teeth, and what's normal versus what warrants a call. Reddick patients who've had extractions should expect some swelling and tenderness early on, which eases steadily.
Once healing is complete, we revisit the restoration and make any refinements needed. From there, maintenance is ongoing but manageable: regular cleanings with our hygienist, periodontal maintenance if gum health requires it, and implant maintenance visits where we check the fit, the hardware, and the surrounding tissue. If you ever experience an issue, we offer emergency dental appointments.
Insurance, Payment, and Getting Started
We accept all major PPO insurance plans and file claims as a general practitioner, and we welcome self-pay and cash patients. Flexible payment plans are available, and we'll go over the full cost and your options before treatment begins — no surprises partway through.
We've cared for Marion County families for over 30 years, and Dr. Hussein Salifu and Dr. Marco Geris see patients of all ages. No referral is needed. If you're in Reddick and wondering whether Teeth In A Day is realistic for you, a consultation is the right first step.
