Jaw-in-a-Day / Fibula Teeth Reconstruction in St. Petersburg, FL
What Is Jaw-in-a-Day?
Jaw-in-a-Day integrates jaw reconstruction, dental implants, and temporary teeth placement in a single surgery. It is used to restore the jaw after trauma, tumor removal, congenital defects, or severe bone loss.
This approach dramatically reduces treatment time and improves function, appearance, and quality of life.
How It Works
1. Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP)
Advanced 3D imaging and CAD/CAM guides ensure precise jaw reconstruction.
2. Fibula Free Flap Harvesting
A portion of the fibula bone is safely taken from the leg and shaped to become the new jaw.
3. Reconstruction & Implant Placement
The fibula is secured to the jaw area, and dental implants are placed immediately.
4. Immediate Teeth Delivery
Patients leave surgery with a functional, natural-looking temporary prosthesis.
