Over 26 years ago, the Dr. Thomas Balshi and Dr. Glenn Wolfinger at Pi Dental Center created the Teeth In A Day® process that allowed patients to leave the office with fixed teeth the day of implant placement. The conversion prosthesis is a crucial aspect in the Teeth In A Day® dental implant procedure. 

A conversion prosthesis is a transitional fixed implant-supported prosthesis. It’s a temporary device that “converts” an area where teeth were missing to non-removable teeth. 

 During dental implant placement, a complete removable denture is converted into a temporary fixed prosthesis. This prosthesis is worn by the patient from the day of surgery until the delivery of the final permanent prosthesis. A conversion prosthesis technique provides non-removable teeth immediately following surgery. 

This technique allows the patient to have attractive, stable fixed teeth while dental implants osseointegrate. It provides function immediately after dental implant surgery. With a conversion prosthesis, the patient is able to smile confidently, chew comfortably, and speak clearly. 

The conversion prosthesis also provides stability in the jaw and protects the gum tissue. It acts as a splint during the healing period and is used to make the final prosthesis. It serves as a prototype for the final prosthesis.

“Good oral hygiene is essential for, not only, oral health but also your systemic health. I enjoy talking to patients about their daily lives and how they can incorporate an effective hygiene regimen that works for them,” says Dolly, Registered Dental Hygienist at Pi Dental Center. #dentalhygienist #dentalhygienemonth2019 #dentalhygiene #oralhealth #oralhygiene #systemichealth #registereddentalhygienist (at Pi Dental Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3mbMGYJD_c/?igshid=leglfbqs6uok

October is National Dental Hygiene Month. To help maintain your healthy smile, the ADA recommends brushing your teeth twice a day, for two minutes, with a soft-bristled brush. The size and shape of the brush should fit the mouth allowing you to reach all areas easily. Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gums. Gently move the brush back and forth in short (tooth-wide) strokes. Brush the outer surfaces, the inner surfaces and the chewing surfaces of the teeth. To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and make several up-and-down strokes. Brush your tongue to remove bacteria and keep your breath fresh.
