Teeth in One Day

As early as 2000 BC, bamboo pegs were utilized to replace missing teeth in jaws. From then on, other forms of early dental implants such as different metals, sea shells, animals’ and dead humans’ teeth, were formed into teeth shapes. In 1952, P. I. Branemark, an orthopaedic surgeon, unintentionally discovered that bone grows in close approximation to and fuses with titanium, when he could not remove a screw from a rabbit’s femur while conducting research. He placed his first titanium implant into a live human in 1965. Current day implants have evolved from this discovery. 

As far back as 700BC the first denture was made. The dentures were made from human or animal teeth but as a result of an increase in sugar consumption, historic dentures got damaged quickly. Ivory dentures were made in the early 1700s from walrus and elephant tusks and it got popular when a pair carved out of hippo ivory fitted with human or donkey teeth was sported by George Washington. Porcelain was used for dentures around 1774, but they seemed too white and were susceptible to cracking, but advancement in porcelain manufacture changed that. Dentures were made in 1815 from the teeth of dead soldiers or criminals that were executed.

They were attached to a base of animal ivory with rivets. Porcelain was mounted on an 18-karat gold plate with gold spring and swivels in 1820 by English goldsmith and dental manufacturer Claudius Ash. In 1850, dentures were made from vulcanite, a hardened rubber with porcelain as the teeth. In the 20th Century, acrylic resin and other plastics became a much more viable alternative for dentures, and zirconia is often the preferred material for our implant retained fixed prostheses today.

Teeth in a Day is an innovative approach to replacing missing teeth with teeth supported by dental implants within 24 hours. There is constant advancement in the dental implant field, giving rise to a less invasive procedure for patients as well as a beautiful, fixed, and durable outcome.

Following conventional protocols, patients are required to wait for months to obtain a desirable outcome, but Teeth in a Day has made it possible to achieve the desired result within a shorter period of time. Dr. Berzin Dental Implants can help you solve your dental problems as well as restore that beautiful smile you deserve without delay. Patients that experience Teeth in a Day benefit from the reduction in the number of dental visits and procedures, as well as a lovely smile within hours.

Owing to the fact that Teeth in a Day requires only a few visits as well as fewer implants, it might be less expensive when compared with conventional implant protocols which require the replacement of individual teeth over a period of time, involving multiple procedures.

In situations where there is a need for the replacement of multiple teeth, for instance in cases of people with the need for all their teeth to be pulled out, an appropriate option may be a procedure known as All-on-4, which enables the replacement of the entire arch of teeth with as few as just four implants.The positioning of the teeth gives rise to the stability of the whole arch.
