LVI-Trained Dentist Serving Oakton, Vienna, McLean and Nearby Northern Virginia
If you are tired of wearing dentures or suffering from teeth so broken down that you have difficulty chewing, Dr. Chung may be able to give you new, stable teeth in one day using Teeth in One Day, a comfortable and minimally invasive procedure. It’s the modern alternative to dentures.
What is Teeth in One Day?
It’s a revolutionary dental implant technique that uses advanced mechanics to stably support a full mouth of teeth with just four implants. This advanced technique allows many of our patients to say goodbye to dentures for good.
Applying same-day dental implants allows Dr. Chung to replace missing teeth and restore a patient’s smile in just one office visit. This type of smile makeover is transformative in every way. Patients not only enjoy a healthier, happier smile, but they feel more confident in themselves and their appearance.
How does Teeth in One Day Work?
The first step in the procedure is a 3D dental CT scan. With this scan, Dr. Chung can find the densest areas of bone in the jaw and plan the implant placement. Ideal patients do not need bone grafting, a common procedure that helps those with serious jaw deterioration prepare for traditional dental implants.
Using the CT scan, Dr. Chung meticulously plans the treatment ahead of time and creates a surgical guide so that on the day of surgery, the implants are inserted without any cutting or suturing needed, making the treatment minimally invasive.
Any tooth extractions that are needed are done at the same time as the implant insertion. Post-surgery discomfort is minimal.
Dr. Chung fits patients with high-grade, fully functioning teeth while the final teeth are fabricated. The teeth are made out of a very life-like acrylic, or a combination of aesthetic porcelain for the top arch and acrylic for the hard-biting lower arch.
These arch dental implant restorations transform a patient’s smile in just one treatment, and their results look completely natural. Patients can’t believe how beautiful their smiles are after treatment. Seeing their faces light up as they take in their new grin is always a delight.

Who is an ideal candidate for the Teeth in One Day Process?
Some candidates for Teeth in One Day are struggling with tooth loss or severely damaged teeth. Others are tired of dealing with the hassles and worries that often come with wearing conventional dentures.
Teeth in One Day provides stable, reliable replacement teeth that look incredibly natural. It is a quicker procedure than traditional dental implants. It can also work even if you have bone loss
Through a complete dental exam, Dr. Chung will determine whether you are an ideal candidate for dental implants and teeth rejuvenation.
Smokers are not ideal candidates for Teeth in One Day and will need to quit to promote healing. Meanwhile, individuals with gum disease or poor oral health must have these issues corrected ahead of time.
A consultation is the best way to learn if Teeth in One Day is the right choice for your smile. Dr. Chung will evaluate your oral condition in our welcoming dental office full of unique amenities.
Even if you do not qualify for Teeth In One Day, Dr. Chung can help you prepare. He will never turn a patient away. Instead, he will work with you to prepare your mouth and jaw for dental implants so you can get the smile you deserve.
What recovery and aftercare do Teeth in One Day Require?
Teeth in One Day is a minimally invasive procedure that comes with a relatively short and manageable recovery. In most cases, patients do not experience much discomfort after surgery.
You will leave our office with high-quality temporary teeth that immediately restore dental function. However, it is important to take a few precautions in order to support your recovery. Those precautions may include things such as eating soft foods for a few days. Our dentist will provide you with complete aftercare directions following your Teeth in One Day procedure.
How long will the results of my Teeth in One Day Last?
Teeth in One Day is a dental implant procedure. Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. They are made of a durable titanium material that naturally forms a bond with your jawbone. Meanwhile, the dentures that these implants support can last for many years.
There are a few things you can do to extend the life of your new smile. Make sure to brush your implant-supported dentures twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Also, schedule regular dental appointments to clean and monitor your restorations.
How long does the Teeth in One Day Process Take?
The Teeth in One Day process takes far less time than traditional dental implants. This benefit is one of the many reasons why patients choose to restore their oral function with this procedure.
The first step is to schedule a consultation. You will also need a treatment planning appointment. Our dentist will take a 3D dental CT scan and use it to create a surgical guide.
On the day of your procedure, your implants will be placed using minimally invasive techniques. Any necessary tooth extractions will also be performed at this time. You will leave our Oakton dental office with high-quality temporary restorations while your final teeth are fabricated.
Keep in mind that a small number of patients may require additional steps, such as deep cleaning and bone grafting. Dr. Chung will be able to provide you with a more personalized treatment timeline. Our goal is to transform your smile and complete oral health. This means taking the necessary steps to treat failing teeth, heal infected gums, and give your mouth the care it needs to fully support future implants.
Are there any risks associated with the Teeth in One Day Process?
The risks associated with the Teeth in One Day process are minimal. Same-day dental implants have a high success rate. Visiting a dental implant expert will also help everything go smoothly.
Of course, no procedure is risk-free. Dr. Chung will gladly discuss the potential risks associated with Teeth in One Day and implant dentistry so that you can make an informed decision about your dental care.
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY PERIOD?
Dental implant recovery from Teeth In One Day is minimal. Patients are generally able to resume normal eating and function within 72 hours of treatment. Swelling, bleeding, and discomfort are not uncommon, especially if you had extractions done as part of the procedure.
Rest assured that Dr. Chung and the rest of the team at Softouch Dental Care will help you prepare for recovery. We want to minimize any discomfort you experience and help you address any concerns before treatment. You can always reach out to us anytime before and after your implant placement.
