If you are one of the 178 million people in the United States with missing teeth or who need to have teeth extracted, getting implants can be the solution that allows you to look and feel your best. However, the idea of going through the lengthy process of getting traditional implants might make you hesitate. Now, there are same-day dental implants that allow you to enjoy a full smile quickly. Learn more about same-day dental implants.
What Are Same-Day Dental Implants?
Same-day dental implants provide you with a temporary prosthesis supported by dental implants, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a full set of temporary teeth until you can receive your permanent replacements.
Dental implants are titanium posts that go into your jaw or gums and can support crowns and even dentures. There are standard implants as well as mini implants, which require less bone density and can be suitable for most people. Mini dental implants usually require one or two appointments, while standard implants can require more.
The best candidates for same-day dental implants are people who:
- Are in good overall health
- Have some jawbone density
- Do not have bruxism
- Do not have gum disease
You also need to practice good oral hygiene and preferably not smoke.
Although you do not leave the appointment with your permanent teeth, you do leave with a full smile, making it one of the fastest options available.
Benefits of Same-Day Dental Implants
Same-day implants do not require you to wait for months for the implants to heal before you get your replacement teeth. You can start eating normally and feel confident in your new smile when you leave the office.
Same-day implants tend to also fuse better with your jawbone, providing a more stable fit. The implants also help keep bacteria away from the extraction sockets.
Getting same-day implants can also help prevent jawbone loss. The roots of your teeth offer the stimulation your jawbone requires to create bone cells. Without this stimulation, you can start to lose bone density. By immediately getting implants that function as natural teeth, you can prevent this problem.
What Is the Same Day Implants Procedure Like?
The first step is to come to our office for a free consultation with Dr. Harvey Chin, who will examine your mouth to see if you are a good candidate for the procedure. If you are, he will take digital scans of your jawbone using CBCT technology to decide where to place the implants.
Because Dr. Chin chooses mini implants for our procedures, he will not have to drill a lot into your jaw or make incisions to fit them into place. This makes the procedure easier and faster.
Once the implants are securely in their spots, Dr. Chin adds the false teeth. You can then go home. After the implants have had a chance to heal, he can install your permanent teeth.
