FAQ About Getting Replacement Teeth in a Day

When faced with the loss of teeth, patients can turn to teeth in a day for a quick fix. These immediate dental implants can replace standard implants, providing a fast and effective means to restore a patient’s smile.

Common questions about immediate dental implants

When researching methods of replacing lost teeth, patients can discuss the choice of the Teeth in a Day procedure.

What is the difference between standard implants and Teeth in a Day implants?

Standard dental implants require multiple visits. One visit is necessary to place the implant into the jaw, and the next visit occurs weeks to months later, after the jawbone has healed. On the second visit, the temporary crown is finally placed. On the other hand, with immediate dental implants, the implant is placed either directly into the jawbone or just under the gum, and the temporary crown is then placed over the implant.

What are the benefits of immediate dental implants?

The Teeth in a Day technique has many patient benefits compared to conventional dental implants. The immediate implants are minimally invasive, and the process is less time-consuming. Patients do not have to spend time making multiple visits as one surgery appointment can complete the procedure. Since the temporary crown is placed immediately, a person does not have as many restrictions on what they can eat. With regular implants, patients must be aware of foods that can pull or dislodge the implant until the time the temporary crown is placed.

Immediate dental implants also provide a cosmetic benefit. With regular dental implants, the jaw and gums are allowed to heal before the crown is placed over the implant. With Teeth in a Day, the crown is placed before any healing can occur. This allows the crown to be better positioned, and the gums can heal around the crown, giving the crown a more natural look in the mouth.

Am I a candidate for Teeth in a Day?

Like any other dental procedure, there are certain restrictions as to who can have the implants placed. The biggest deciding factor is the density of the jawbone. If the jawbone has been damaged due to infection, immediate implants may not be an option due to the way they are anchored into the mouth. If a patient has bone loss, bone grafts and medications to increase bone density can be used.

These may be candidates for immediate dental implants:

  • Patients with only with a few missing teeth
  • Patients with healthy gums and jaws
  • Patients who do not suffer from bruxism or teeth grinding
  • Patients who do not want dentures

How can I prepare for immediate dental implants?

A consultation with a dentist is necessary when deciding upon Teeth in a Day implants. The dental professional will conduct a comprehensive exam, including collecting medical history that could affect the procedure. Depending on the facility, radiographs or 3D imaging may be used to assess any bone loss in the jaw.

Conclusion

Losing one's teeth doesn't have to mean losing one's smile. Immediate dental implants are a viable option for patients who want to recover their smile in one dental visit.
