The Teeth in 3 Days™ procedure is carried out by a team experienced clinicians including registered specialists and an auxiliary team including a registered dental prosthetist.
The preparation of the jaw and implant placement, usually takes place in hospital under general anaesthetic.
Our specialist prosthodontists ensure that the fixed bridge is constructed and permanently joined to the implants for optimal occlusion (bite) and aesthetics.
Before you undergo any medical/dental procedure you should check whether your practitioner is suitably qualified and registered to perform the procedure.
Why choose registered specialists
The fixed bridge placement component of the procedure requires that the construction of the prosthetic bridge be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Our registered specialist prosthodontists are qualified and experienced to produce the highest of quality bridges to meet your requirements.
Auxiliary Team
Our advanced dental prosthetist, Brent Smart, is responsible for the technical construction of the high-gloss titanium-reinforced bridge which enables a functional and truly aesthetic fixed dentition across your whole dental arch in only three days.
The Teeth in 3 Days™ team also includes our charge nurse, Karleen Giampietro, who will help care for you during treatment, and our patient coordinator, Bianca Brown.
