Tooth loss can happen for many reasons – advanced periodontal disease, accidents, cavities, and more. When this happens, it can severely affect your self-confidence and the functions of your smile. You might struggle with eating your favorite foods or experience misalignment from the gaps between your teeth. Your team at Sunny Smiles can help find a way to replace your missing teeth and give you a renewed sense of confidence. In some cases, we may be able to achieve this in just one day. In our blog today, we’re here to talk about same-day implants.
Are You A Candidate?
Same-day implants can be used to replace your missing teeth in just one appointment. Traditionally, receiving implant-retained restorations can take several appointments and require several months for healing and placement. Before getting started, you will need a consultation with our team. Your dentist will carefully examine your teeth and gums to make sure you are in good dental health. You may be a good candidate for same-day implants if you are currently experiencing tooth loss, have healthy gum tissue, and good jawbone density. If you have any oral health concerns, such as periodontal disease or bone loss, these may need to be treated first before you can receive your restorations.
No Need For Temporary Restoration
There are several advantages of this same-day restoration. One of the most significant benefits of this prosthetic option is that it can be accomplished in less time and can last for many years to come. We will carefully insert the titanium posts so they can properly hold your restoration. You will not need temporary restoration because the posts and crown are inserted on the same day. Instead of waiting several months for the post and bone to health together before adding the abutment and restoration, everything can be added on the same day. Because of this, you can have improved functions almost immediately, and your jawbone can be protected long-term.
Fast-Recovery And Improved Oral Health
In many cases, you may be fully recovered in a few weeks. You can leave your appointment with a new and improved smile. Your dentist will send you home with a specific set of post-op instructions to ensure the area heals properly and does not shift out of place. In addition to improving your appearance and replacing your missing teeth, this restorative treatment can also protect your long-term oral health. The titanium posts can protect your jawbone from losing density, so your facial structure can be protected from sagging.
