TeethXpress is an innovative method of replacing a full arch of teeth on the lower or upper jaw or both. During the process, we will surgically insert between four and six implant posts. Then the replacement teeth are affixed to these posts.
We surgically insert between four and six specially designed implant posts into the jawbone.
Replacement teeth are affixed to the implant posts, either new teeth or existing dentures.
The procedure uses specially designed implant posts available in various shapes and sizes for optimal fit.
"The TeethXpress procedure was explicitly created to be minimally invasive and uses specially designed implant posts available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes."
Traditional dental implants offer a teeth replacement option that is most similar to one's natural teeth. TeethXpress provides the benefits of traditional implants, plus several additional advantages.
Patients can undergo the TeethXpress process in as little as one appointment. Dentists can insert the implants and place the teeth replacements in the space of three to four hours.
Another common benefit tends to be less pain following the procedure. The process is more streamlined and designed to minimize trauma with quick recovery.
Originally designed to replace a large number of missing teeth, TeethXpress is most often used to replace a full arch for complete tooth replacement.
"TeethXpress provides a quicker, easier way to get the benefits of implants."
TeethXpress may be a good option for those who need to replace all teeth in one or both jaws. Also, our team can work with patients to schedule TeethXpress as part of a treatment plan involving all-teeth extraction.
Those who need to replace all teeth in one or both jaws or are planning all-teeth extraction.
Patients who have been wearing full dentures and want more functionality and less hassle than frequent upkeep and replacement.
Patients with reduced jaw bone mass can benefit without needing a separate bone graft procedure.
"TeethXpress allows many patients with bone loss to enjoy the functionality and stability of implants without needing a bone graft."
TeethXpress is associated with less discomfort than other implants procedures. However, your mouth will be sore after. Typically, patients experience bruising and swelling that is strongest around the third day after surgery.
Our team will provide aftercare instructions that should be followed exactly for optimal healing.
Brush the white part of your new teeth gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and avoid cleaning underneath.
Drink plenty of fluids, get plenty of rest, and use a cold pack to ease swelling during recovery.
Take any medication as directed and follow the recommended hygiene regimen for long-term oral health.

We surgically insert between four and six implant posts, then affix replacement teeth to these posts. The procedure is minimally invasive and designed for quick completion.
Benefits include speed (3-4 hours), easier recovery with less pain, and multiple teeth replacement in one procedure, often without needing bone grafts.
Good candidates include those needing full arch replacement, current denture wearers wanting better functionality, and patients with bone loss who want to avoid bone grafts.
Expect some soreness, bruising, and swelling (strongest around day 3). Follow aftercare instructions exactly, use gentle care, and take prescribed medications as directed.

Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacements that look, feel, and function like natural teeth while preserving jawbone structure.
Dental bridges replace missing teeth, restore your smile's appearance, improve chewing function, and prevent remaining teeth from shifting.
Typically, the process takes about three to four hours. This time can vary depending on the specific treatment plan your dentist recommends. In some cases, patients may need additional procedures for optimal results.
Dentists usually employ a local anesthetic to manage pain during the procedure. Some patients may benefit from sedation or additional pain management techniques. Talk to your dentist about circumstances that could affect the type of anesthesia that is right for you, including anxiety or heightened sensitivity.
Many patients take a day or two off following the procedure, especially if they are taking painkillers or are experiencing significant discomfort. Other patients have minimal discomfort and can return to work the next day.
There is no set cost, as each case depends on the individual patient's circumstances and the recommended treatment plan. Some options to help pay for implants include partial insurance coverage or an employer-sponsored flexible spending account. TeethXpress represents an investment in your health and is likely to lower dental costs in the long term.
Your TeethXpress provider will prescribe a special medicated mouthwash to use during the two weeks following the procedure. After that, you may be able to begin using a low-strength water flosser. We recommend sticking to a diet of soft foods during the healing stage.
TeethXpress offers the bone-preserving benefits of traditional dental implants, and its quicker process and healing can also reduce recovery time. This durable, reliable teeth replacement option can be an effective way to maintain oral health. However, every case is different. Talk to our team to discuss your best options.
