Losing your teeth can feel like losing a part of yourself. Eating becomes a challenge. Smiling feels embarrassing. You might avoid social situations or cover your mouth when you laugh.
If you have been living with missing teeth or failing dentures that no longer fit, you probably think getting new teeth will take months. That is not how we do things at Revive Dental and Implant Center.
Dr. Chad Boustany, one of the few Prosthodontists in West Virginia, offers same-day dentures in Charleston, WV. That means you walk in with dental problems and walk out with a functional, natural-looking smile in one day.
What Are Same-Day Dentures?
Same-day dentures are exactly what they sound like. We extract any remaining problematic teeth, place dental implants (if you choose an implant-supported solution), and deliver your new dentures in a single appointment.
Traditional dentures require multiple visits over several weeks. You have to wait for the extractions to heal and for impressions to be sent to an off-site lab. You wear temporary dentures that may be loose or uncomfortable.
With our in-house dental laboratory and advanced technology, we eliminate all that waiting. We design, fabricate, and place your new dentures right here in our Charleston office. You leave the same day with a smile you can actually use.
Why Choose Same Day Dentures?
Living without teeth, or with dentures that slip, click, or hurt, affects everything:
- You cannot eat normally. You likely avoid crunchy foods, fresh fruits, and vegetables, which can lead to poor nutrition.
- You feel self-conscious. You stop smiling in photos and hesitate to speak in meetings or social settings.
- Your jawbone deteriorates. Without tooth roots or implants to stimulate the bone, your jaw shrinks over time. This changes your facial structure, making you look older.
- Your remaining teeth shift. Gaps from missing teeth allow your healthy teeth to drift out of position, causing bite problems and new decay.
Same-day dentures immediately solve all of these problems and more.
The Same Day Denture Process: From Consultation to Smile
Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation
Your journey begins with a one-on conversation with Dr. Boustany. He will examine your mouth, review your medical history, and listen to your goals. He will also take advanced 3D images of your jawbone using our on-site CBCT scanner.
This imaging is critical. It allows Dr. Boustany to assess your bone density, identify any issues, and plan your implant placement with surgical precision.
Step 2: Treatment Planning
Based on your exam and imaging, Dr. Boustany will recommend the best solution for your specific situation. Options include:
- Traditional same-day dentures (non-implant supported, for patients who cannot have implants)
- Implant-supported overdentures (snaps onto implants for stability)
- Fixed implant bridges (non-removable teeth that feel like natural teeth)
He will explain every option, answer your questions, and help you choose the path that fits your health, goals, and budget.
Step 3: Extractions (If Needed)
If you have remaining teeth that are beyond saving, Dr. Boustany will gently extract them. He uses advanced numbing techniques and offers sedation options to keep you comfortable throughout.
Step 4: Implant Placement (For Implant-Supported Dentures)
If you are receiving implant-supported dentures, Dr. Boustany will place the implant posts into your jawbone. As a trained Prosthodontist, he has performed thousands of implant procedures. He uses advanced surgical guides created from your 3D scan to ensure precise, safe placement.
Step 5: Same-Day Fabrication
Here is where the magic happens. While you are still in the chair, our on-site dental laboratory gets to work. Using digital impressions and CAD/CAM technology, we design your custom denture right here in our office. Our skilled lab technicians fabricate your new teeth using high-quality materials.
No waiting weeks for an off-site lab, no shipping delays, and no temporary appliances that do not fit.
Step 6: Delivery and Smile
Once your dentures are ready, Dr. Boustany places them in your mouth. He checks the fit, comfort, and appearance. He makes any necessary adjustments on the spot.
You’ll look in the mirror and see a complete, natural-looking smile for the first time in months or years. You walk out of our office that same day with teeth you can eat with, smile with, and feel proud of.
Patient Review
The Trefoil™ System: Three Implants, One Fixed Bridge
One of the most innovative options for same-day dentures is the Trefoil™ system from Nobel Biocare, the global leader in implant dentistry.
Traditional full-arch implant solutions typically require six to eight implants per jaw. That means more surgery, longer healing time, and higher costs.
The Trefoil™ system changes everything. It uses just three implants to support a full-arch fixed bridge. The three implants attach to a pre-manufactured titanium bar that spans the arch, providing exceptional stability with fewer implants.
Why Trefoil™ Might Be Right for You:
- Fewer implants mean less invasive surgery. Three implants instead of six to eight means less time in the chair and faster healing.
- Lower cost. Fewer implants reduce the overall cost of treatment.
- Immediate function. The fixed bridge is delivered the same day as implant placement.
- Exceptional stability. The titanium bar distributes force evenly, so your new teeth feel secure when you chew.
- Natural appearance. The prosthetic teeth are custom-made to match your facial features and smile.
Dr. Boustany is one of the few providers in West Virginia trained and equipped to offer the Trefoil™ system. If you are a candidate, this could be the ideal solution for restoring your entire arch of missing teeth.
Same Day Dentures: Traditional vs. Implant-Supported
| Feature | Traditional Same-Day Dentures | Implant-Supported Same-Day Dentures |
|---|---|---|
| Stability | May shift or slip | Securely fixed in place |
| Chewing power | 30-40% of natural teeth | 90%+ of natural teeth |
| Bone preservation | No stimulation, bone loss continues | Stimulates bone, prevents deterioration |
| Comfort | Can cause sore spots | Feels like natural teeth |
| Longevity | May need replacement in 5-7 years | Can last decades with proper care |
| Cost | Lower upfront | Higher upfront, better long-term value |
Dr. Boustany will help you decide which option is right for your unique situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can anyone get same-day dentures?
Most patients are candidates. However, patients with severe bone loss may need bone grafting before implants can be placed. Dr. Boustany will evaluate your jawbone during your consultation using 3D imaging. If you need grafting, that may require a separate healing period before same-day dentures are possible.
Are same-day dentures permanent?
Traditional same-day dentures are removable and may need to be replaced after several years. Implant-supported same-day dentures are designed to be long-term solutions. With proper care, the implants can last a lifetime. The prosthetic teeth may need replacement after 10-15 years of normal wear.
How long do same-day dentures last?
- Traditional dentures: 5-7 years with proper care
- Implant-supported overdentures: 10-15 years for the prosthesis; implants last a lifetime
- Fixed implant bridges like Trefoil™: 10-20 years for the prosthesis; implants last a lifetime
Regular dental checkups help extend the life of your restoration.
Does insurance cover same-day dentures?
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of denture and implant treatment. Coverage varies widely. Our team will verify your benefits and explain your out-of-pocket costs. We also offer financing options to make treatment affordable.
