Your individual circumstances will dictate the type and size of the implant that you choose. Your dentist will help you decide during your initial consultation.
Do not delay if your smile is ready for immediate dental implant. To schedule your consultation, please contact our office.
If your bone strength and stability is sufficient to allow for immediate placement of a tooth and pressure from the new tooth, this option is recommended. However, you don't need a sinus lift, bone augmentation or ridge expansion. These procedures can increase the time required to place new implants.
Traditional implants require a long process. First, you must extract the tooth affected. The socket will heal within 3-4 months.
To ensure that implants are properly integrated and stabled, it will take a significant amount of healing. This doesn't seem like a quick way to get your teeth. The key is this: Temporary teeth will be placed while you wait for your recovery to complete.
The most convenient way for you to get a flawless new smile is through same-day implant dentistry. Instead of spending weeks waiting at your dentist's to get new teeth, you can have it done in one appointment.
The effectiveness of same day implants is only increasing. These surgeries are becoming more popular.
On the day you have your procedure, temporary teeth are given. Once your mouth is healed fully, you will receive permanent dentures to replace the temporaries. This means that you will have a full smile on the first day and a permanent one a few more months later.
The jaw can be divided into "arches" or sections. A full-arch implant is available if you need all or some of the teeth from a single arch to be replaced. Two types are commonly used for full-arch implant.
The healing process for same-day implant dentistry takes time. Crowns cannot be placed until the mouth is completely healed.
However, same day implants are faster than ever. You will only have to visit your doctor on average three times. There will be a consultation once, then surgery once, and then another follow-up.

But the jawbone is what's most important. It must not be too weak or thin to allow the implant to be inserted without bone grafting.
However, the jawbone is crucial. Without bone grafting, it can't be too soft or too thin to accept the implant.
Same-day implants can usually be done in a single procedure, ranging from 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the number of implanted teeth. However, it is important to note that you won't actually leave the office with your permanent teeth. But, you will leave with a full smile.
