Smile in a Day Dental Implants

We understand the impact of a visible issue like a dead or missing tooth on your confidence and daily comfort. Traditional dental implants offer an effective solution, restoring smiles with implants that mirror the natural look, durability, and strength of real teeth. Typically, the implant process involves inserting a small titanium screw into the jawbone socket to serve as a new root. Restorative teeth are then secured in place to assume the role and position of the previous tooth.

In conventional procedures, failing teeth are extracted, followed by a three-month wait before implant placement. Subsequently, an additional minimum three-month period is needed for proper fusion of the implant with the jawbone and healing before fitting new teeth. With our advanced equipment and pioneering techniques, we can perform immediate implants and temporization treatment, providing a complete solution in a single day.

Immediate implants, also known as ‘same-day implants,’ differ from traditional ones by eliminating the 6-week recovery period. They can be placed immediately after tooth extraction, offering a swift and permanent solution for tooth restoration.

This surgical approach offers several advantages, including same-day placement of dental implants into the jawbone after extraction and immediate fitting of new temporary restorations. It is particularly beneficial for patients seeking a faster procedure without the wait, desiring convenience, and wanting natural-looking teeth. Moreover, evidence suggests superior aesthetic results, as the clinical team can better maintain bone and gum conditions during the procedure.

Eligibility for Immediate Implants

Immediate implants are typically recommended for individuals who have experienced dental trauma, damage, or tooth loss due to disease, decay, or normal wear and tear. While most people are suitable candidates, there are a few exceptions to consider.

Patients who smoke heavily or indulge in excessive alcohol consumption may be advised against immediate implants, or any dental implants for that matter. This surgical procedure necessitates a healthy and hygienic treatment area, and these habits might compromise the safety of the treatment. Continued smoking or heavy drinking post-immediate implant placement can potentially hinder the recovery process, leading to implant failure.

Individuals with existing dental health issues or poor oral hygiene may also be deemed unsuitable for immediate implants due to similar concerns about treatment area safety and healing. To determine eligibility, it is recommended to attend a consultation with our dentists. During this session, they will assess your oral health history and hygiene, identifying any potential reasons that might make immediate implants unsuitable. In some cases, alternative dental treatments, such as dentures, may be recommended for achieving similar results through less invasive methods.
