What Are Your Teeth Today?
Your Teeth Today is a revolutionary dental implant procedure that allows patients to replace missing teeth in just one day. The process involves placing four to six implants in the jawbone, which serve as anchors for a custom-made bridge. Your Teeth Today offers a faster, more comfortable alternative to traditional dental implant procedures that often require multiple appointments and months of healing time.
Your Teeth Today Surgical Instructions
Before the Procedure:
- Follow any pre-operative instructions provided by Dr. Chaudhry. This may include fasting or avoiding certain medications.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, as the IV sedation may affect your ability to drive.
During the Procedure:
- You will receive a local anesthetic to numb the area and ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
- Sedation is also available for patients who experience anxiety or fear during dental procedures.
- Your oral surgeon will use specialized instruments to place the implants in your jawbone.
Aftercare Tips
Proper aftercare is essential for a successful recovery and long-term implant success. Here are some helpful tips to follow during your Your Teeth Today aftercare:
- Avoid smoking or using tobacco products, as they can hinder the healing process and increase the risk of implant failure.
- Maintain proper oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing regularly and using a non-alcoholic mouthwash.
- Follow a soft food diet for the first few days after the procedure, gradually adding firmer foods as your dental professional advises.
- Use ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments with your dental professional to monitor your healing progress and ensure proper implant integration.
Caring for Your Teeth Today Implants
Here are some tips for caring for your dental implants following recovery:
- Brush Twice a Day: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive toothpaste to brush your teeth and dental implants gently twice daily. Be sure to reach all surfaces of your teeth and implants.
- Floss Daily: Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles that may be stuck between your teeth and implants. Use a floss threader to get the floss underneath the implant-supported bridge or denture.
- Rinse with Mouthwash: Use an antiseptic mouthwash to rinse your mouth after brushing and flossing. This helps kill bacteria and freshen your breath.
- Avoid Certain Foods: Hard and sticky foods can damage or loosen your dental restorations. Stick to a soft and healthy diet to protect your implants.
- Visit Your Dentist Regularly: Regular dental check-ups and cleanings with Dr. Chaudhry are crucial for maintaining your dental implants’ health and detecting any potential problems early.
By following these tips, you can ensure your dental implants stay in good condition and provide you with a beautiful, healthy smile for years.

This place is amazing. The staff are wonderful and very polite. My husband was in pain for years. We went to 2 different oral surgeons and for months they wasted our time. When I called Lehigh valley oral surgery, they listened and made appointments very fast. They even do (out of Network) referrals for insurance. Please if you are in pain and need to be seen this is the place for you. Thank you guys so much for everything you did for my husband.

Very grateful that I was able to have my dental implant done with Dr. Chaudhry. He and his staff were professional and kind. They were sensitive to my concerns, and answered all of my questions thoroughly. Nicole, the implant coordinator, was especially supportive throughout the process. Thank you for making this experience as pleasant as possible.

Had an issue with my insurance didn't realize they type that I had so the information didn't go through, still saw me they day of my extraction and helped me square away my insurance. They are super friendly nice, and seem to be on top of their game. This place is highly recommended for a reason, this is the place to go.

My son had 4 wisdom teeth removed. Initially the appointment was for March of 2020. Then the pandemic hit. They refunded my partial payment quickly. Fast forward to September of 2021. Rescheduling was no problem. From the front desk to the doctor and assistants, the staff was friendly and professional. They took new x-rays and found that the procedure was going to be less money! Everything went well. His recovery has been good. He still has some tenderness 3 weeks out. The only complaint I would mention is that we never received a call to check on his recovery. That would have been very nice.

Had to have an emergency extraction. I was in so much pain and they were able to see me the very next day. The office staff starting with the receptionist was very pleasant courteous and professional. The hygienist was very kind and made sure I was comfortable. Dr Kim was excellent. I was given IV sedation and I’m not sure how I will be able to go back to having dental work without it because it made everything much better. They even sent me home with an ice pack which may seem like a small detail but it was a big help once anesthesia wore off. Choose this practice. You won’t regret it.

I went here a few days ago to get a molar pulled that was chipped and infected. I was completely terrified, so Dr. Farag brought someone in to hold my hand during the numbing shots, and her assistant offered to hold my other hand. She applied plenty of numbing gel, and only two out of all of the injections were painful because she had to inject the gum near the tooth of course, whereas the other shots were just more uncomfortable than anything. The nurses and assistants that held my hand were very sweet, encouraging, and made me chuckle a few times. Dr. Farag talked me through the whole procedure and gave me a break when I needed one. I'll be honest and say it wasn't completely painless, but I don't blame Dr. Farag whatsoever. She tried her best to numb me up, but the tooth was infected and probably couldn't be numbed entirely. Regardless, any pain I felt was probably on a scale of about 3-4, and only happened at certain times during the procedure; it wasn't constant. The pain from the infection felt way worse than anything I felt that day in that chair.
It was over pretty quickly. Her assistant stayed with me afterwards and talked with me until I was calm, since I found myself in a fit of tears after the tooth was pulled. I wasn't in pain afterwards, just really relieved, I think. Dr. Farag seemed to feel genuinely bad at how upset I was, and suggested that I be sedated next time or given anti-anxiety medication if and when I come back to get anything done. She's right, as I would say my own fear was probably the worst part of the experience.
I'm 3 days post-extraction and I feel fine. The bleeding stopped within a few hours when I got home, and the wound seems to be healing well. There is some soreness, a very minimal amount of swelling, and occasional twinges of pain in the area, but that's it.
I would recommended coming here if you need work done. Everyone here is very kind, caring and compassionate. They also honored the fact that I had panoramic x-rays prior, whereas some places will charge you for an x-ray even if you've already had one done.
