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.

 

See link below for discussion of such criteria.

Yes, It can be done, but the situation must be right. You need good bone volume and density, otherwise they may fail. Make sure to get a cbct scan to determine if you are  candidate.

We hear about single day implants all the time but in reality even if the implants are placed in a day(which is normal and safe), the permanent teeth can not be placed the same day. You will be given temporary teeth for the duration of 3-4 months after which permanent teeth/caps will be placed.

For implant retained dentures ie: removable, a temorary is given for the time span of healing which is later replaced by a permanent denture with better retension.

So it can be done, but final result with a good smile takes much more than a single day.

Fixed teeth vs removable teeth. In either setting you leave with temporary "teeth in a day." Your final set should start to be fabricated after 2-3 months due to tissue shrinkage from healing. Otherwise you will have spaces underneath. A sensational well fitting smile isn't done in one day.

The short answer is yes... The long answer depends on many factors quality and quantity of bone type of implants and type of teeth supported by implants. If you asked I would prefer to place the implants allow them to stay stable for 8-12 weeks and then restore and during the healing wear transitional teeth good luck

There are many options when it comes to full arch dental implants.  I'm outlineing a few for you here....

1) Traditional - teeth are extracted and the bone is allowed to heal.  After 2-3 months the implants are placed and a temporary denture is placed.  After 3 months the implants are restored with the final restoration which may be a fixed bridge or a removable implant attached denture.

2) Immediate load fixed - Teeth are removed, implants are placed and a fixed temporary bridge is placed the same day.  Teeth can be placed because all the implants are connected or splinted and they can't individually move. This allows for undisturbed healing 4-6 months of healing ensue.  If a removable denture is used the implants must be splinted with a bar, you can't put a removable denture on the unhealed implants even if a week after surgery.  After the healing period a final definative bridge is inserted on the implants.

3) "Teeth-on-a-day" - after rigorous planning, teeth are removed and implants placed with position compensating connections.  The final bridge is then inserted.  The problem with this method is that minute surgical errors are compensated on by using components that are not as sturdy as in traditional treatment.

 

Last point, there is nothing in dentistry that should in any whay be defined as "permanent".

 

Hope this helps,
