A New Set of Teeth in Just 24 Hours!
When Ian came to Fixed Teeth Australia, his remaining upper and lower teeth were failing, and he was looking for a lasting solution.
The prospect of replacing his failing teeth with secure, fixed dental implants was particularly appealing – especially knowing that he could receive his first set of fixed teeth within just 24 hours of surgery.
For Ian, this offered the opportunity to address years of dental problems without an extended period waiting for his new teeth.
The Challenge:
Ian needed a complete restoration of both his upper and lower teeth.
While All-Fixed Full Mouth Dental Implants offered a suitable treatment option, careful planning was essential to ensure his new implants could be placed securely while keeping the surgery as straightforward as possible.
One important consideration was whether Ian would require bone grafting to support his implants.
Bone grafting can be necessary when there isn’t enough suitable jawbone to support dental implants. However, it also adds another procedure to the treatment process and may require additional healing time.
For Ian, our team identified an opportunity to avoid bone grafting in both jaws through careful implant placement.
Treatment Plan:
Using our established Full Mouth Dental Implants Protocol, our team developed a treatment plan that allowed Ian’s implants to be positioned securely without the need for bone grafting in the back areas of either his upper or lower jaw.
By making use of the available natural jawbone, we were able to reduce the complexity of his surgery while providing the support required for his new fixed bridges.
Importantly, Ian’s treatment also allowed his initial fixed teeth to be fitted within just 24 hours of surgery.
These provisional bridges provided him with a functional, natural-looking set of teeth while his implants continued to heal, ahead of the final restorative stage of treatment.
The Results:
Within 24 hours of surgery, Ian had received his new upper and lower fixed bridges – a significant change from the failing teeth he had arrived with.*
By avoiding bone grafting in both jaws, our team was also able to reduce the extent of the surgical procedures required.
The result was a functional and natural-looking initial restoration, providing Ian with fixed teeth during the healing phase rather than requiring him to wait for the final bridges.
A Focus on Making Complex Treatment Simpler:
Replacing an entire upper and lower set of teeth is a significant procedure. But more extensive treatment doesn’t always mean more surgery is necessary.
Ian’s case demonstrates how careful assessment, precise planning and appropriate implant techniques can sometimes eliminate the need for additional procedures such as bone grafting.
At Fixed Teeth Australia, our aim is to keep treatment as straightforward as clinically appropriate without compromising the foundations required to support new fixed teeth.
Every patient’s circumstances are different, and bone grafting remains an important treatment option when required. The key is understanding when it is necessary – and when it can be avoided.
Understanding Full Mouth Dental Implants Without Bone Grafting
Can full mouth dental implants be placed without bone grafting?
Yes, in some cases. Depending on the amount, quality and location of available jawbone, dental implants may be positioned without the need for additional grafting procedures.
A detailed clinical assessment is required to determine whether this approach is suitable.
Can you really receive fixed teeth within 24 hours of dental implant surgery?
For suitable patients, an immediate-loading approach allows an initial set of fixed teeth to be fitted on the day of surgery or within approximately 24 hours.
These are provisional bridges designed for the initial healing period. The final bridges are generally fitted at a later stage once healing and implant integration have progressed.
