Restore your confidence
Many people who have conventional dentures don’t like to wear them because they don't stay in place. TeethXpress offers a way to keep dentures secure and allows you to go about your daily life with confidence.
Conventional dentures are designed to give you the appearance of natural teeth, but not actually replace your natural teeth. You may have noticed that your denture that once fit well now slips constantly and requires costly visits to the dentist for an adjustment. That's because every day that you were a denture the bone in your jaw shrinks a little more. Eventually, the denture won't fit at all and you will have to replace it.
TeethXpress is a very different solution. You will still have beautiful natural looking teeth, but now they will also function like natural teeth. The TeethXpress solution secures your denture to surgically placed dental implants so that you can eat, speak and live confidently without the fear of slipping dentures.

Tired of your loose denture?
Millions of people around the world are missing enough teeth to require the use of a denture. Many struggle with loose or poorly fitting dentures. If you have this problem, you already know the embarrassment of slipping dentures, not being able to eat the foods you love, and the problems with messy denture adhesives
The TeethXpress Solution
After you have met with a Certified TeethXpress Dentist near you and created a personalized treatment plan, you will schedule the TeethXpress procedure. During the procedure, 4 to 6 implants are surgically placed into your jaw with abutment posts. Your denture is then secured to the abutment posts with special prosthetic screws. The TeethXpress procedure typically can be completed in one day and can be done under local anesthesia. Your dentist will either use your existing denture or have a denture created prior to the procedure so that you walk out that day with teeth. Discomfort from TeethXpress is usually minor and temporary. Your dentist may prescribe pain relievers for you as needed. A soft diet will be required during the initial healing phase.
After the procedure
After the procedure, the use of a medicated mouthwash is often recommended for two weeks. You will not brush or use a water pick during that time. After two weeks, you can start using a water pick at a slow speed. Follow your doctor's instructions and maintain your dental hygiene to ensure the long-term success of your treatment.

Q When will I receive my new teeth?
A TeethXpress is designed as an immediate solution so that you walk out the same day with secure-looking teeth.
