Contemplating Dental Implants. Dentist Says All Done in One Day? Really?

If you have a sufficient bone amount for dental implant placement, it is absolutely okay to have all implants placed on the same day.  However, loading these implants on the same day with a prosthesis attached to them may increase chances of failure.  Waiting 4-6 months for healing in the upper jaw is a safe protocol.  If you are getting a temporary removable prosthesis that will not be attached to the implants, then this is a very safe route to go.  You are very fortunate that after trauma, you don't need any grafting.

Hello

Same day teeth or as known 'teeth-in-a-day' concept can be a solution for some patients who meet special criteria. This must be carefully evaluated and determined by the surgeon-restorative dentist team and only done if appropriate. Otherwise, it should be done in stages for optimal success and predictability.

 

See link below for discussion of such criteria.
