We can help. TeethToday is a revolutionary dental implant technique offered by the TeethToday Dental Implant Center of Hauppauge. With TeethToday we can immediately and predictably replace failing or missing teeth in just one day. Our dental implant specialists have been performing these procedures successfully for more than a decade. We are recognized internationally for our innovation in this area and have documented more successful patient treatments with this technique than almost any other implant practice in the world.
Restore your overall health, appearance and self-confidence.
Correct your oral health problems including failing teeth, bad teeth, missing teeth, gum disease, and/or bad breath. Whether you are replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth or all your teeth; if you want to do away with old technology dentures or partials, we can remedy your situation in just one appointment, in one day with TeethToday. You can quickly restore your smile and your self-confidence with our remarkable dental implant technological advances.
These advances now make it possible for you to have aesthetically pleasing fixed teeth in less than 24 hours. You no longer need to wait months for implant supported restorations that let you chew, smile and speak clearly. TeethToday allows you to leave the dental chair after just one treatment visit with teeth that look natural and remain healthy.
The benefits of TeethToday have been consistently proven. Careful documentation has revealed that results with TeethToday are now virtually the same as more conventional procedures, requiring months longer. In our first 10 years of developing and using these techniques, over 1500 patients received over 4,000 implants with 95-99% success. Now in our second decade of refinement, we can treat even more difficult cases with greater success.
Some other advertised "immediate load" dental implant techniques require that you already wear a removable denture or fit certain criteria to be treated. With TeethToday failing teeth can be immediately replaced with new implants and restorations—often in one procedure, the same day. This streamlines treatment, saving time and anxiety while improving the quality of the final results. TeethToday offers dramatic improvement in chewing ability, security and overall self-confidence.
CLINICAL PROCEDURES
Note: The surgical and restorative procedures will vary slightly depending on the treatment options (periodontal treatment or implant dentistry), and the number of teeth affected.
Complimentary Consultation. After your initial phone call, the next step is a consultation with one of our patient treatment coordinators and a member of our clinical staff.
We will determine your needs, assess your oral health, review your personal situation, discuss your medical history, and introduce treatment options based on your case. We will also review financing and procedural timing. This consultation may also include digital imaging and/or other technology to help us give a complete synopsis of your case. Bring any x-rays or other information supplied by your general dentist, as this will help expedite your visit. If you don’t have a general dentist, that’s OK. We offer complete restorative procedures too. This appointment may take 30 minutes to one hour, depending on the case itself. Remember, it’s complimentary. minimize
Dental Examination. Once your procedure is scheduled, your doctor will be evaluating the area(s) of your mouth where teeth are missing, including the amount of bone available to support the placement of implants, as well as the quality and density of the bone.
This involves a 3D CT scan, and may include taking impressions for models of your teeth so that your doctor can develop the ideal treatment plan for your specific condition.
If you are missing all of your teeth, you may be scheduled for a consultation with a team of doctors. Your doctor will also be evaluating whether additional procedures may be needed to obtain the desired functional and esthetic result. If you have already lost a significant amount of bone, your doctor will evaluate the possibility of procedures to add (graft) bone, or create new bone. This appointment may take one hour or so. minimize
The TeethToday procedure can be used for the replacement of one tooth, a few teeth, or a full set of teeth. The replacement teeth are usually placed immediately following implant placement - all in one appointment. You will never leave our office without teeth.
TeethToday® Implant Placement Procedure Patients are made comfortable with recommended sedation options. If necessary, tooth extractions will be performed at this point just prior to implant placement. Dental implants are then placed in the bone using a gentle surgical technique.
With the TeethToday immediate loading procedure, a 3D CT scan is used with virtual planning software to plan the implant placement and the design of the replacement teeth, even before the procedure itself starts. This is done after the examination and allows for temporary replacement teeth to be ready for you the day of surgery.
In fact, you will leave our office that day with a beautiful set of temporary teeth, and in just one – two days be fitted with a provisional dental implant supported bridge designed to last up to 6 months – during the healing process. With these provisional teeth, you can begin to regain your old eating habits, immediately see a revitalized appearance, develop a renewed self-confidence, and get back your vibrant lifestyle.
Traditional Implant Placement Procedure. In few instances, it could be preferred to use a more traditional approach to implant placement. Again, once the patient is comfortable and any extractions are performed, dental implants are then placed in the bone using a gentle surgical technique.
With this more traditional implant placement, you can expect the implants to be left undisturbed for a period of several weeks while the surrounding bone and soft tissue heal. During this bone remodeling phase, the bone will grow and the tissue will shape around the implants to form a strong biological bond. You will have temporary replacement teeth so that you never have to be without teeth during treatment.
Restorative Procedure. Following the appropriate bone remodeling/healing period (either same day with TeethToday, or a few weeks / months later with a more traditional method), a small connector post called an abutment is attached to each implant. The permanent replacement teeth will eventually be attached to these abutments.
Fabrication of Replacement Teeth. Impressions will be taken of your teeth and the implant abutments; the appropriate shade for your replacement teeth will be selected and then our laboratory technician will fabricate your replacement teeth and the underlying structures that will be attached to the implants. This process can take one - two weeks depending on the number of missing teeth and the type of replacement teeth.
Maintenance and Follow-up. In a USA Today article, the question was asked “What do people notice first when they meet someone?†47% answered their smile. Nearly half. It is important to protect you new smile with an effective oral hygiene program including normal brushing and flossing at least twice daily, and regular check-ups and cleanings as prescribed by your dentist.
All-on-4 Procedure. This unique implant dentistry procedure is very appealing to people who are missing all their natural teeth, have weak and broken teeth and/or are wearing dentures. After the initial consultation and 3D imagining and planning, patients who qualify for this procedure can replace either an upper or lower denture with just four implants and a full set of replacement teeth in one appointment. This is normally done without any bone grafting or other ancillary procedures.
