If you’ve been putting off dental care for years, you’re not alone! Many of our patients find themselves struggling with their dental health and feeling overwhelmed by the treatments they need. We understand wanting to put those dental problems on the back burner and ignore them. However, once you make the great decision to take back control of your dental health, you won’t want to wait for your dream smile!
Same day dental implants could give you renewed confidence with gorgeous, natural-looking temporary teeth the same day as your implant surgery. While not every case is appropriate for same day dental implants, most of our patients make great candidates for this expedited approach to dental implant restorations. Placing your dental implant restorations immediately not only offers significant cosmetic benefits, but it also eliminates the need for a second minor surgical procedure to uncover the dental implants for the placement of permanent crowns. Instead, we’ve streamlined the entire process for your dental implants into just a few easy visits: your initial consultation; the day of surgery; and a few final appointments when we change your temporary teeth for your durable, beautiful permanent dream smile!
Depending on the number of implant posts you need, and whether you prefer to be sedated for your procedure, the day of your implant surgery can take anywhere from thirty minutes to as much as 4 hours considering the amount of surgery required. Same day dental implants allow us to place a beautiful temporary restoration made of lighter-weight material which will allow you to smile with confidence while your implants heal. Thanks to our in-house dental lab, this approach is versatile and works for single implant crowns or full mouth dental implants. For patients who need teeth removed, we may even be able to place your implant posts the same day as your tooth extractions.
No matter whether the traditional dental implant process or teeth in a day approach is more appropriate for your specific needs, your implant posts need time to integrate with the bone tissue. The healing process takes anywhere from one to six months, depending on your individual case and health status. Your lightweight temporary will allow you to smile with confidence and have adequate function during that time. In some cases, this temporary coverage aids in the healing process by keeping your surgical sites covered and comfortable. Much like a traditional denture, you’ll be limited to a softer diet at first, and gradually return to normal eating habits as your implants heal and become more durable. Your permanent restorations, custom-crafted from the highest quality material, will have the strength and durability to return your quality of life, letting you enjoy all your favorite foods again. Get ready to celebrate your new smile!
