Permanently Fix Your Bad Or Missing Teeth In A Single Visit

Your Completely Customized Same-Day Options

We take pride in offering our patients options to restore their smile and confidence when replacing all their failing and missing teeth. With our fully customized treatment plans – including full mouth dental implants, dentures and implant supported dentures – we can ensure our patients’ smiles will be healthy, beautiful and long-lasting.

A traditional and affordable option to restoring your smile, dentures aren’t a long-term solution, as over time, they may cause more problems than they solve. Our implant supported dentures are dentures that attach to dental implants secured in your jawbone as a stable foundation for optimal function. These special dentures give patients options, as they can be taken out for easy cleaning while offering the appearance and functionality of secure natural-looking teeth. Full mouth dental implants are the “gold standard” of full mouth restorations and the ultimate solution to missing or failing teeth. By providing full arch rehabilitation to replace all your failing or missing teeth, our dental implants are secured into the jawbone to support a full set of brand-new teeth that attach to the dental implants permanently. Dr. Katz, our cosmetic and implant dentist in Pickerington, OH, does more than provide a “quick fix” for patients and their missing teeth. He provides fully functional and beautiful smiles that last a lifetime!

Full Mouth Dental Implants

Dr. Katz Discussing Teeth-In-One-Day

As one of the most popular solutions for replacing missing teeth, full mouth dental implants are strong, and they function just like natural teeth. Secured into the jawbone by implants that act as tooth roots, your new restorations won’t slip, and they’ll give you a long-lasting perfect smile! Dental implants provide a number of benefits:

Available in porcelain, zirconia or acrylic
No plastic
No gagging
Look and feel of natural teeth
Precise fit, eliminating slippage
Preserve facial features and restore your natural smile
Do not affect the health of surrounding teeth
Prevent bone loss in the region
Last a lifetime with proper care!

Implant Supported Dentures

While still secured in the jawbone by four titanium posts, our implant supported dentures offer an option some patients prefer: the ability to remove your denture. While some like to have their denture fixed to their dental implant so they don’t move and don’t have to take them out for proper cleaning, some prefer the freedom of taking their teeth out for cleaning and not wearing them all the time. No matter what our patients choose, our implant supported dentures are still a wonderful, long-lasting solution for missing or failing teeth! Implant supported dentures come with lasting benefits:

Dentures

The most traditional and cost-effective restoration we offer, dentures provide patients with an affordable way to restore your smile and confidence, and they are typically ready in just a few weeks! Dentures also eliminate the need for surgery and long recovery times, plus they come with great benefits:

Even with benefits of cost and no surgery, dentures tend to be seen as outdated. They can shift and move around in your mouth, causing mouth sores, and they may require an adhesive, which can be messy and aggravating to apply throughout the day. Patients are limited to what foods they can eat and enjoy, and they can begin to notice bone recession in a matter or years.

Our Same Day Smile Process

A full arch of failing teeth can lead to a decline in health, jawbone loss and even difficulty speaking and eating. At State of the Art Smiles, our innovative dental implant procedure known as All-on-X can efficiently restore a full, healthy smile in just one visit! All-on-X dental implants are completely customizable to your specific needs, and they’ll create a brand-new healthy, fully functional smile – with results that last a lifetime – in just four easy steps!

Step 1: Personalized Consultation

Being the most informative and important step, Dr. Katz will have the option to get to know you and your smile goals. We will discuss how our All-on-X full mouth dental implant treatments work and what expectations for the treatment are. We will take computed tomography (CT) scans, X-rays, impressions and digital photographs of your teeth to help build a custom treatment plan that meets your specifications. We will go over the calming sedatives available to you (oral or IV), so you can pick which one you would like. Once you are comfortable with your treatment plan, we will begin planning each step of your surgery to ensure safe and predictable results.

Together we’ll discuss the best option for you and if you’d like, you can see before and after case studies from real State Of The Art Smiles patients including how their treatment truly changed their lives. Dental implant pricing, insurance coverage, and financing options will also be discussed. If dental implants are best for you, our Pickerington, OH implant dentist completes precise surgical planning to ensure each implant placed is in the exact angle, depth, and location for optimal, lasting success, and ideal aesthetics.

Step 2: Surgery with Precision

Your custom treatment plan will include a surgical guide with a detailed map for the steps of your surgery. This precise planning allows Dr. Katz to resolve any potentially troublesome areas for an error-free surgery. Our advanced technology not only helps guide Dr. Katz through your surgery, it eliminates the need for a second surgery to place bone grafts, which significantly reduces your treatment time and overall cost. Once your surgery is finished, we will attach a temporary restoration to your dental implant for you to begin enjoying your new smile immediately!

Step 3: Follow-up Appointment

Two to three months after your surgery, Dr. Katz will have you come back for a follow-up appointment, when we will ensure everything is healing nicely. You will have a chance to ask any questions you may have, and we will go over the steps to keep your mouth healthy during the rest of your healing process. We will then make your appointment for a return in two to three months for your final restoration installation.

Step 4: Final Prosthesis And Your New Smile

Once your All-on-X dental implants have had time to heal and the implants have fully integrated into your jawbone, we can begin creating and installing your final set of teeth. Dr. Katz will take new impressions of your mouth and build your final, stronger permanent set of teeth. This final restoration ensures that your teeth will last a lifetime while providing maximum support, beauty and function.

Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth In One Day

How is the All-On-X procedure different from a denture?

Our All-On-X treatment protocol provides patients with new teeth that are firmly fixed in place, and look and function as close to natural teeth as possible.

A denture, whether full or partial, is a removable set of teeth and should be taken out every night for cleaning. Additionally, since a denture is not fixed in place, it will often slip or sometimes fall out, even with normal use. For this reason, denture adhesives are often needed to hold dentures in place. Even with adhesives, many people find that eating, laughing, being active and sometimes just talking can be a challenge with dentures.

All-on-X provides our patients with a new set of teeth that are connected to the implants and are solidly fixed in place. They may only be removed by the dentist but are brushed and cleaned like natural teeth. Our All-On-X process is the closest you’ll find to natural teeth in terms of look, feel and function.

Since the pressure of biting down is transferred directly to the bone rather than to gum tissue (as it is with dentures), All-On-X also allows the patient to bite with much more force than dentures do. This means that patients can eat their favorite foods without worrying about their teeth!

Will my implant supported teeth be uncomfortable and push on my gum tissue like a partial or a full denture does?

The short answer is absolutely not. This is the beauty of dental implant treatment vs. dentures. Not only will your implant supported teeth be fixed in place without slipping or needing to be removed for cleaning, they do not press on the gum tissue (which is what creates the discomfort that is common with dentures)!

What about the line between the fixed bridge and the jaw bone? Can people see it?

This line will be hidden behind your lips, so it won’t be visible when you smile. During your initial consultation, Dr. Katz will evaluate your smile to determine where the junction of the fixed bridge and the jawbone will be. During the procedure, we adjust your “smile line,” ensuring that your new smile is not gummy and that the connecting line of your prosthesis is completely hidden.

What is the success rate of the All-On-X procedure?

Published studies indicate a 98.2% success rate when using the All-On-X technique in the lower jaw. Similar studies show a 97% to 98% success rate in the upper jaw for the same procedure. Occasionally, an implant will fail. If this happens, we simply place a new implant in a slightly different position to take advantage of existing bone, then our dental lab refits the fixed bridge to align with the new implant.

Why does the All-On-X treatment protocol use only four implants?

Research done by Nobel Biocare and clinical experience shows that in most cases, four implants, specially placed with some angulation, are just as effective in supporting a full arch fixed bridge in either jaw as five, six or eight implant restorations. On rare occasions where bone is soft or worn down, additional implants may be needed, but these situations are the exception, and typically only in the upper jaw. Most dental practitioners do not have the experience that Dr. Katz has with implant surgery treatment protocol and treatment concepts, as they continue to use older techniques involving as many implants as they feel the bone will support. In most cases, more than four implants are not necessary, and can even subject the patient to unwarranted surgeries, excess treatment time, areas that cannot be brushed or cleaned, and higher costs.

Does the All-On-X procedure involve bone grafting?

What will my diet be like after the All-On-X procedure? When can I eat solid food again?

Solid foods can be eaten by a patient that has undergone the All-On-X Procedure that same day. However, we are talking about a modified food diet. Defined as foods that are soft enough to be cut with a fork. Examples of the modified food diet are scrambled eggs, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, hamburger, fish and pasta. Please do not eat foods that require any tearing or biting with your front teeth such as pizza, sandwiches and bagels. Also, avoid hard foods such as carrots, chips, apples, nuts and gum. This modified diet is to be maintained until you receive your permanent prosthesis. Once your final bridges are made with the titanium frame as reinforcement, you can resume a normal diet.

Why do I have to wear a provisional set of teeth and not my permanent new teeth right away?

On the day of your procedure, we place the implants and a new set of teeth called a “long-term provisional.” This provisional set of teeth is fixed in place, fully functional and capable of providing you with a beautiful smile. You will laugh, talk, play sports and be active without having to worry about your teeth. This provisional set of teeth are made entirely of acrylic resin, which places less stress on your new implants during their first few months of use. We will ask you to be selective in the foods you eat the first few weeks following your procedure, but you will soon be back to a normal diet (without hard or tough-to-chew foods for a while longer). Once your gum tissues have healed and the implants have become completely stable, we fabricate a permanent bridge with acrylic or porcelain teeth. This set of teeth will have an inner titanium framework for extra strength. Think of the titanium as a reinforcement bar that gives your teeth extra support and long-term strength. This permanent set of teeth is carefully attached to your healed gum tissue, and is then adjusted to ensure we achieve an ideal fit in your mouth and that your bite and smile are perfect!

If I need both upper and lower full-arch teeth replacements, do they both have to be done at the same time?

In many cases, where the patient has several broken or missing teeth or an uneven bite, it’s best to do both arches at the same time to avoid compromising the final result. This allows us to control the patient’s bite and biting plane. Doing both arches at the same time is a complex procedure, and is beyond the skill level of most dentists. However, Dr. Katz will use his experience, treatment protocols and expertise to determine if both of your jaw cases (if two are necessary) can be done in one day. In other instances, treatment can be sequenced to meet the financial, health or other individual needs of the patient.

Are some people not candidates for the All-On-X procedure?

Very few people who need a full arch of replacement teeth are not candidates for the All-On-X treatment protocol. However, each candidate is fully evaluated to determine the most appropriate plan of treatment, in order to address their individual dental needs. One very important note: Dr. Katz requires all candidates to be medically stable before entering treatment. That may entail contacting your physician about any existing medical conditions, and getting your doctor to provide medical clearance. In some cases, our All-On-X treatment protocol is not the indicated approach. Based on dental conditions, some people are better off being treated with conventional dental procedures. We initially determine the appropriate treatment approach at the consultation appointment, then confirm that treatment plan at the prosthetic evaluation.
