The TeethXpress Treatment Process
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 may make a new set of replacement teeth or use the patient's existing dentures.
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. Patients with some levels of bone loss may be able to undergo the process without having to receive a bone graft. However, if bone loss is significant, the procedure may involve additional steps.

Benefits of TeethXpress
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:
- Speed: 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. Though some patients may need several appointments to achieve desired results, TeethXpress is still likely to be faster than more traditional options.
- Easier Recovery: Another common benefit tends to be less pain following the procedure. The process is more streamlined and designed to minimize trauma. Typically, patients recover quickly with the aid of prescription or over-the-counter analgesics and an ice pack during the first day or two following the procedure.
- Multiple Teeth Replacement: Originally designed to replace a large number of missing teeth, TeethXpress is most often used to replace a full arch. For people needing a complete replacement, TeethXpress can be a superior alternative to more traditional options.
According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, implants are an essential factor in reducing the bone loss that typically occurs in the jaw after tooth loss. TeethXpress provides a quicker, easier way to get the benefits of implants. It also allows those with complete tooth loss to get implants.

Candidates for TeethXpress
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. Additionally, patients who have been wearing full dentures for some time may opt for TeethXpress. They often find that this teeth replacement option gives them more functionality and less hassle than dealing with dentures, which need frequent upkeep and replacement.
Patients who already have reduced jaw bone mass can also benefit from TeethXpress. Opting for traditional implants would likely mean these patients would need to undergo a separate bone graft procedure and wait for a few months afterward to receive implants. TeethXpress allows many patients with bone loss to enjoy the functionality and stability of implants without needing a bone graft.

How TeethXpress Works
TeethXpress is a dental implant procedure. This procedure involves placing small implant studs in the patient's jaw through oral surgery. These studs act as the connecting points for a set of replacement teeth. By doing this, patients will have a durable base of support for new artificial teeth.
The dental implant stud is a small titanium post that functions like a natural tooth's root. However, unlike a natural tooth, the stud can support multiple teeth. The dental implant fuses with the bone, creating a strong and stable attachment point for the replacement teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions About TeethXpress
Q. When can I return to work after getting TeethXpress?
A. Typically, patients can return to work a day or two after the procedure. There may be minor discomfort, but rarely is it significant enough to be disruptive. Your dentist will provide instructions on when it is safe to return to daily life.
Q. How long does the procedure take?
A. In most cases, the TeethXpress procedure can be completed within a single visit to the dentist. The procedure usually lasts three to four hours. For a more specific estimate, ask the dentist before the procedure.
Q. How do I care for my replacement teeth?
A. TeethXpress requires at least brushing twice a day and flossing once a day. While the teeth are artificial, plaque can get stuck between the teeth or near the gums. The dentist will provide specific instructions for the patient on how to maintain oral health with TeethXpress.
Q. Is the TeethXpress procedure painful?
A. Typically the process is not painful. Most patients report, at most, minor discomfort. The procedure may be completed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia.
Q. Do I need to visit the dentist if I have TeethXpress?
A. It is important to continue visiting the dentist after receiving this treatment. While the replacement teeth will not rot like natural teeth, it is still possible to have oral health issues. Regular check-ups are an essential part of good oral care.
Q. How long will my implant-supported dentures last?
A. Dental implants such as TeethXpress can last a lifetime if properly cared for. Many patients have successfully maintained implants for 40 or more years. Practice good oral hygiene and visit the dentist regularly to maximize the lifespan of TeethXpress.
