Detailed Introduction
TeethXpress is an advanced dental implant system that offers a comprehensive solution for patients suffering from significant tooth loss. It is a full-arch, immediate-load protocol, meaning that eligible patients can often receive their dental implants and a temporary set of functional teeth in a single visit, typically within a few hours. This eliminates the need for patients to go without teeth for an extended period, a common concern with traditional implant procedures.
The core of the TeethXpress system involves surgically placing 4 to 6 titanium dental implants into the jawbone. These implants act as stable anchors for a custom-made prosthetic arch of teeth (denture or bridge). A key advantage of TeethXpress is its ability to maximize the use of available bone, often making it suitable for patients who might not be candidates for other implant procedures due to bone loss, potentially eliminating the need for bone grafting in many cases. The implants are designed with optimized threadforms and, in some cases, Laser-Lok® technology, to promote superior primary stability and integration with the jawbone (osseointegration).
TeethXpress is a registered trademark of BioHorizons, a prominent dental implant manufacturer. The system is provided by "Certified TeethXpress Providers," indicating that the dental professionals offering this service have undergone specific training in the TeethXpress protocol. The "clinic" type is inferred because the website listed is for a specific location offering this service, and the broader TeethXpress brand itself provides training and resources to dental practices, suggesting it's a treatment offered within a clinic setting rather than an individual product for personal use.
Benefits of TeethXpress include restored chewing function, improved speech, enhanced aesthetics, and increased self-confidence. Unlike traditional removable dentures, TeethXpress prosthetics are securely fixed, eliminating slipping, discomfort, and the need for messy adhesives. Furthermore, the implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent the bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth and traditional dentures, thereby preserving facial structure. While a temporary set of teeth is often provided on the same day, a permanent restoration is placed after a healing period of several months, allowing for full integration of the implants with the bone. The long-term success rate of the TeethXpress procedure, when performed with BioHorizons implants, is reported to be over 95%.
