Dugger Dentistry

Family & Cosmetic Dentistry

Dental implants are the closest thing to re-growing your natural teeth. However, until now, implant surgery required weeks of recovery before new crowns or bridges could be placed. Dr. Dugger and Dr. Perala utilize a state-of-the-art technology to plan your surgery "virtually" on a computer, allowing them to place and restore your implants and new teeth in just one surgical visit.

The Problem

• Replacing a single missing tooth
• Replacing multiple missing teeth
• Replacing poor fitting dentures with a better solution

How it Works

A CT scan of the patient’s jaw provides data on bone location and depth. This data is then utilized in a computer aided design process to determine the exact placement of implants needed to secure crowns, bridges or dentures. Ultimately, the surgical placement of implants is completely guided by this sophisticated computer process.

This process allows patients to have new teeth (bridges, crowns or fixed dentures) placed in just one visit. Most patients are back to work in two to three days.

Not all patients are good candidates for the "Teeth in a Day" process due to a lack of bone density. So please call us to schedule a consultation to find out if this procedure is right for you.
