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

Having your teeth made in one day is definitely possible and safe. The teeth that you will go home with that day are meant to have for a few months until the implants and gums have fully healed. Once healing is complete you then return to have a permanent set made which will adapt more accurately to the surrounding gums and tissues.

Hello, as long as there is not a severe infection it can be done all in one day. This being said, the extractions will all take place and then the implants placed. Our patients go home with a temporary while the mouth heals and the implants fuse with the bone. Your dentist will let you know what to expect the day of surgery. Also, make sure you are seeing a Prosthodontist. They specialize in these types of procedures and typically have a lot more training than a general dentist. 

Be careful! See a periodontist or an oral surgeon first. Dentists do not have the training to do this over many years like specialists do. Teeth in a day is another name for "computer guided surgery". This is a very sophisticated treatment requiring years of proper training in specialty school. A specialist needs to asses whether you require bone grafting? What kind of grafting? How long will healing take? How many implants will ideally be palaced? Why would you want this done in a day? What's the rush? Doing this properly or improperly will cost you A lot of money! Might as well do it right. Go see a Prosthodontist and periodontist or oral surgeon first to discuss ALL your options not just "teeth in a day". This is a marketing ploy which is designed to make his sort of treatment more appealing but can lead to disaster if done improperly. Think long and hard first and do your homework. Hope this helps. 

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.
