Dental Implants Allow Replacement Teeth in One Day

If you have lost permanent teeth, it’s important to get replacements quickly. Waiting can allow your other teeth to move, causing permanent changes to your smile that require more drastic interventions to fix. On the other hand, a fast replacement tooth can keep the movement from happening in the first place. The only question is, what kind of replacement?

Traditionally, bridge work has been used to replace small sections of teeth or even single teeth, and dentures have been used for total replacements. Today, dental implants have been used both to replace bridgework and anchor permanent dentures in place.

 

How Implants Provide Teeth in One Day

Not all dental implants are equal, and early implants need a multi-stage process to complete just like bridge work. Eventually, skilled practitioners were able to devise a method for installing fully loaded implants, which gives you Teeth in One Day on the day of your surgery. This has a few advantages:

  • – Fewer visits means fewer intrusive procedures
  • – Simplified recovery calendar
  • – Less time for teeth to shift
  • – No fumbling with temporary prostheses
  • – Natural look

The key is to use modern 3D printing technology and computer imaging to create the teeth you need so that the implants can be loaded up prior to insertion. Then, you will need to make sure you follow the care guidelines fully to recover as smoothly as possible.
