Do you prioritize convenience? Perhaps you value speedy service and immediate results. After all, you’re a busy person, and the last thing you need is another time-consuming process. But what about when you visit the dentist? Fast dental service may sound unrealistic. A dentist should spend hours on a procedure, right? Besides, teeth are fragile, so you may expect dental procedures to take time. While this isn’t completely untrue, there is a procedure that is quicker than you might expect. Same-day teeth are the perfect example. Yes, you read that correctly. If you’re missing one or more teeth, we can replace them in just one visit. This makes fast dental service not so far-fetched after all.
Are you wondering how you can get same-day teeth? The answer lies in the specific tooth replacement option! Our experienced dentists at the Center for Cosmetic Dentistry provide many patients like you with same-day teeth. We’ve had plenty of happy patients leave our office with improved, beautiful smiles!
Tooth Replacement Options Are More Advanced Than Ever
While many people rely on traditional dentures, they have serious competition. Dental implants step up to the plate, ready for a homerun! They are an innovative and long-lasting titanium tooth replacement option. Titanium is an extremely biocompatible metal that fuses naturally with your jawbone, becoming one with your oral structure. The result is a sturdy and stable foundation for replacement teeth.
Typically, there are two options: traditional and mini dental implants. Both have unique characteristics and benefits. Traditional dental implants have two components: the abutment and the implant post. The post is inserted into your jawbone, and the abutment is attached to the top of the post, serving as a connector to your false teeth. The post averages about 5 mm wide. Since traditional implants consist of multiple components and are bigger, the procedure is more complex. Traditional implants require sufficient bone density for support. If your bone is fragile, thin, or deteriorating, you may not be qualified for this option without a bone graft procedure.
In some cases, your false teeth cannot be attached on the same day as implant placement. In fact, sometimes the abutment cannot be attached on the same day as well. This is partially because of the incision made in your gums, which reveals your underlying bone. The bone is drilled to make space for the implant post. The incision is then sutured and needs healing time before the abutment can be attached.
Overall, the traditional dental implant procedure can take several months. Sometimes, patients go without replacement teeth while they heal. Although traditional implants are effective, they’re not for everyone. Plus, you came here to learn about same-day teeth. So, if not with conventional implants, then how?
Mini Dental Implants Make Same-Day Teeth Possible!
Mini dental implants are an excellent alternative for patients who’ve experienced bone loss. Measuring less than 3 mm wide—about half the size of a traditional implant—these slim implants come as a single unit with a self-tapping, threaded post. This unique design allows for a minimally invasive placement technique that often requires less healing time.
To place a mini dental implant, we begin by drilling a small pilot hole into your jawbone. We insert the implant directly into the bone. The self-tapping threads help the implant anchor securely into the bone with minimal trauma. This stability is essential for immediate loading—a technique that allows us to place a final restoration right after we place the implant.
Thanks to their smaller diameter, we can sometimes place mini implants without needing a bone graft. They’re ideal for areas with reduced bone density where conventional implants may not be possible. This makes mini dental implants a more accessible and efficient solution for many patients.
