A surprising number of dental implant procedures take many months with a temporary denture before fixed teeth are fitted and patients leave with a secure smile.
This is true for some providers who fit all on 4 dental implants, full mouth implants, and even all on 6 dental implants.
Unless specifically stated with implant names like ‘same-day smiles’, many providers must ask patients to make do with a temporary denture because:
1. They rely on third-party laboratories for fixed teeth/prosthesis manufacture
Not every dentist has in-house laboratory facilities to mill fixed teeth, so they must use a third-party lab and lab technicians.
This can add weeks to treatment timelines, to cover both the initial manufacturing time and any tweaks to improve the fit later down the line.
EvoDental treatment clinics, however, are purpose-built with on-site laboratories and skilled lab technicians.
This allows for fixed teeth to be fitted on the same day as the surgery, ensuring a precise fit tailored to your anatomy and a natural appearance that seamlessly blends with your remaining teeth.
2. Treatment timelines include extra treatments, like sinus lifts and bone grafts
Unless you choose a dentist or implantologist who can fit specialised implant types or in less common areas of the mouth, patients who require them will need bone grafts and sinus lifts before they can progress onto implant treatment itself.
This adds an extra surgery and months to your treatment timeline.
By strategically placing specialised dental implants in key areas of the mouth, patients who were advised to undergo a sinus lift or bone graft can avoid these procedures entirely if they come to EvoDental.
This eliminates the need to wear temporary dentures for approximately three months during healing and reduces additional costs associated with extra treatments.
