How To Place Dental Implants Same Day

When you lose your natural teeth, we could offer replacements that last for decades to come with dental implants. These can secure a new tooth or even a complete set of fixed dentures. In addition, we can place and restore them in only one visit! In today’s blog, your El Paso, TX, dentists talk about same day dental implants.

Osseointegration

What makes dental implants last? Well, the process of osseointegration. This means the body accepts the titanium post we insert into your jaw as a natural root, bonding with them to allow your new teeth to stay in place for decades to come. The process takes time to complete, sometimes as long as four to six months. In the past, this would mean a need to wait in between placing the posts and securing the restorations or dentures. But with same-day placement, we can insert the posts and move forward with the rest of the process during the same appointment, so you leave with a completed smile.

Placing the New Posts

Our team begins by carefully examining your smile with detailed digital x-rays to assess the strength of your jawbone and ensure it’s ready to support new teeth., Even with weakened jawbone structure, we can still offer options like All-On-Four. We then guide these into place with digital technology, choosing the right angle and position to support your new tooth. Once we’ve done so, we will add abutments to the post that extends above the gum line. Now we can secure the part people see when you smile!

Restorations and Dentures in One Visit

For an individual one, we will attach a custom dental crown, one that looks natural and can blend with the rest of your smile. If you have a more substantial case of tooth loss, we can support a set of dentures. With the same-day option, you don’t need a temporary restoration or prosthetic, and you don’t have to miss several days of work or school. This still stimulates the jawbone to protect smile stability, and people experience a faster recovery time too. You can smile with confidence the same-day, and enjoy results that look completely natural. You can also enjoy your favorite foods again!
