Dental implants are the best replacement for missing teeth. They are permanent replacements that are functional and secure. They also look like your natural teeth. However, they take months to install. If your teeth have been missing for a while, months may be a long wait. You may want your smile back as soon as possible. If so, teeth-in-a-day implants may be the answer for you.

 

What Are Teeth-in-a-Day Implants?



The teeth-in-a-day system involves the installation of one or more dental implants on the same day. Traditionally, crown placement is completed after a waiting period. Teeth-in-a-day will have you wearing a beautiful smile with just one appointment.


 

How Does It Work?



It involves installing temporary, fully functional teeth when you receive your dental implants. Teeth-in-a-day is beneficial since the temporary teeth prevent the surrounding teeth from migrating. Otherwise, they would try to fill the space of the missing tooth. Having fully functional teeth will maintain the others, helping them stay in place. They also offer restoration of functionality and a beautiful smile all on the same day.

 

Who Is a Candidate?


 

You need a consultation with your dentist to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. They will conduct a comprehensive dental exam and evaluate your specific needs. Candidates need to fulfill the following requirements:

 

  • They have one or more missing or damaged teeth
     

  • They do not grind their teeth excessively
     

  • They have an adequate bone density in the area of implant installation
     

  • They do not have a medical condition that can negatively impact healing
     

  • They have healthy oral tissue
     

  • They are ready and willing to take care of the implants so they can last for a lifetime

     

One or More Missing Teeth


 

Missing or damaged teeth are a requirement for dental implants. The dentist will not remove and replace your teeth if there are other alternatives.

 

Do Not Grind Teeth Excessively


 

The grinding of teeth can affect the healing of the dental implant. They need to anchor well to ensure that the teeth are functional and last for a lifetime. Since the implant needs three to four months for osseointegration, excessive grinding may cause the dental implants to fail.

 

Adequate Bone Density


 

Bone density affects the stability of the implant. They need strong bones with good regeneration capacity. It ensures there is optimal bone-implant surface contact for good stability.

 

No Medical Conditions


 

Medical conditions can affect the healing process. Thus, your dentist will determine if you have any conditions during your evaluation. They will also determine if these conditions can affect the implant’s healing process.


 

Healthy Oral Tissue



Healthy oral tissue translates into good vascularity. It means that you have a good ratio of tissue to blood vessels. Vascularity is crucial because it ensures optimal healing. Oxygen, nutrients, and metabolic waste travel through the vascular system. The constant replenishing is essential for the optimal healing and integration of the implant.


 

Ready to Take Care



A good candidate is ready to care for their implants. They will also ensure they follow their dentist’s instructions. These are necessary for dental implant success.
