Teeth in a Day: Benefits of Same Day Implants vs. Traditional Implants

The Teeth in a Day system involves the placement of one or more dental implants that can be used on that same day. Traditional dental implants typically require a waiting period before placing a crown, but with Teeth in a Day, you can have a beautiful, full smile in just one appointment.

Teeth in a Day is a method of dental implant surgery. Implants are one of the most common strategies for replacing one or more broken or missing teeth. Teeth implants function act as artificial tooth roots, surgically inserted into the jawbone to provide optimal support for an attached crown.

Traditional dental implants

Conventional dental implants provide a sturdy and durable method for replacing a single tooth or several missing teeth. They work by inserting a metal screw-like appliance known as a post into the jawbone where the tooth loss has occurred. These posts are made from titanium, a strong metal that has the unique characteristic of being able to fuse to live jawbone.

To determine if the patient is a good candidate for traditional implants, the dentist will first examine the amount of jawbone left in the area to be implanted. If there is sufficient jawbone density, the procedure will move forward. If not, bone grafting may be needed to build enough bone to support an implant.

Once the implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone, the patient must then wait for the temporary crown to be secured. There is then another waiting period of about four to six months before the permanent crown is placed. For many patients, this is seen as an interruption and more than a minor inconvenience. After all, the bite cannot function properly without all its teeth, not to mention the smile appears incomplete with missing teeth.

Teeth in a Day

This innovative system of tooth replacement improves upon the traditional implant method. Teeth in a Day does not require any waiting period for a fully functional temporary crown to be placed. In the same sitting as the implant appointment, the patient can walk out of the dental office with a tooth that both works properly and appears natural. This allows the patient to experience instant results from a single dental implant procedure.

The temporary tooth will remain in place until a custom, permanent teeth are completed in the laboratory. Teeth in a Day also help to prevent surrounding tooth movement toward the space of the missing tooth. As soon as a tooth is lost, the teeth on either side of it begin to migrate into that space to fill it. This can occur sometimes with traditional dentures. Having a fully functional artificial tooth put in on the same day guarantees that other teeth will stay put.

The bottom line

Thanks to Teeth in a Day, oral surgeons can now offer full bite and tooth restoration with just one appointment rather than several. Skip the waiting and get instantly beautiful results in just one day. Talk to your dentist to find out whether Teeth in a Day is right for you.
