With over a quarter century of clinical success, Swedish and American research has proven that osseointegrated implants are effective in over ninety-six percent of all patients treated. Our office with over 6000 cases is one of the leading centers for osseointegrated dental implants in the Northeast..
The early dental implant treatment protocols were based on the concept that an implant had to be integrated in bone prior to loading. However, an increasing number of publications and reports illustrate that one-stage surgery and immediate/early loading of dental implants can be successfully used in many indications
The advantages of immediate function are easy to recognize: The ability to have fixed teeth immediately; no need to use an uncomfortable removable prosthesis; provides functional advantages; improved esthetics; and improved patient self-image.
Currently we have been successfully utilizing several systems for immediate load those include:
Now, it is possible to go from having missing teeth to having functional and esthetic teeth in just one treatment session. If you desire a more beautiful smile without having to wait like you do with traditional dental implants, Dr. Rafla offers Teeth in a Day. Our state-of the art Teeth In A Day process eliminates the four to six month implant integration period that’s usually required before new teeth can be placed.
With the coordination of your restorative dentist, hopeless teeth can be removed, dental implants placed and a fixed temporary bridge inserted within 24 hours in most cases. Typically the temporary replacements will need to be replaced in 3-4 months by the restorative dentist.
This solution is of great value in cases of a single to a complete replacement of teeth. The initial stability that is achieved with implant placement, combined with the splinting effect that is achieved by joining multiple implants together with an all acrylic prosthesis, acts to stabilize the implants and control the load during the osseointegration healing period.
Not every patient and not every site is indicated for TEETH IN A DAY. Patients need to understand the limitations of such treatment and be willing to accept the precautionary measures that are scientifically set forth. It is strongly recommended that patients be on a soft diet during the three month healing period to limit the functional forces during osseointegration. While this can not be easily enforced, patient compliance is an important factor in achieving success.
Testimonial:
I am founder and president of a commercial laundry business, and for 15 years I neglected my teeth. I was deathly afraid of going to the dentist. Finally an emergency arouse, my general dentist took care of the problem and told me I would need full mouth reconstruction using technology called implants. He told me that the best implant specialist in Massachusetts happens to practice right in Worcester and his name is Dr. Akram Rafla. After examination, Dr. Rafla sat down with me and explained everything in detail and answered every one of my questions. I’ve never, in any discipline, encountered someone with so much patience and such understanding of my personal fears of dental work.
The plan was to have Teeth In A Day, all my remaining top teeth were pulled and implants placed that same day. I took a pill the night before to help me sleep, and arrived at 8 a.m. to his office an absolute nervous wreck. I walked out of the office at 1:30p.m. feeling like King Tut!! The doctor checked me the next day and provided me with temporary teeth that looked very close to the final ones I have now. The following month I scheduled the same procedure to be done to my bottom teeth! After that was completed with as little discomfort as the top, I was checked on a regular basis as they healed until three months later when my general dentist began to make my new permanent teeth which I have today.
My teeth look like a movie star’s. Nobody can tell they aren’t my original teeth and I can eat whatever I want without worries, apples, corn on the cob, popcorn, etc., etc.
This technology is absolutely amazing!! I am so happy and feel so good about everything that happened. Dr Rafla and his entire office is first class and world class!!

Thanks to cutting-edge dental technology, we have the perfect solution for those people who want to have an immediate, beautiful smile Teeth in and Hour. Here’s how it works: using a CT scan and virtual reality software, we plan your implant placement and fabricate the teeth replacement working with your restorative dentist before the surgery is even performed. This computer-guided dental implant surgery is extremely accurate, safe and allows for virtually painless dental implant treatment.
With conventional treatment, you have to wait four to six months for your implants to heal before your new teeth are placed. This concept is applicable on any patient indication from single tooth to partially or fully edentulous. The ability to pre plan and pre manufacture your final restoration allows us to uses a minimally invasive surgical protocol with no sutures (stitches) under local anesthetic.
“My experience with this procedure was both refreshing and exhilarating. Your office treated me with professionalism and courtesy, from the very beginning right to the end. I was very self conscious about my situation.”
“Several years ago I made a very bad decision to have my teeth removed. It has been at least 30 years of embarrassment and humiliation with every dentist visit. Teeth In An Hour changed my life, I can now proudly hold my head high and give a very genuine smile to everyone I meet. I can eat with confidence knowing that there will be no slipping of dentures or falling of my upper plate in the middle of conversations (how repulsive to happen not only for me but with whom I am with). I now hold a confidence that was lacking previous to my procedure. I could never thank Dr. Rafla enough for the new lease on life, he gave me. I would recommend him to anyone under the same circumstances I was under.”
“I really appreciate your help in all of this and especially for the talent that Dr Rafla holds. He is truly gifted. I believe he is the best in his field.”
