Same-Day Dental Implants | Teeth in an Hour

With same-day dental implants, including Teeth in an Hour, All-on-4 and TeethXpress, we can replace missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw in a single day, offering more affordable and faster treatment with less discomfort. If you are considering same-day dental implants, visit our implant dentists in Bergen County, Essex County, Morris County, and Middlesex County to learn more about revolutionary teeth that look natural and feel strong and stable.

    What are Same Day Dental Implants?

    Traditionally, dental implants are inserted into the jawbone, covered with gum, or fitted with healing caps, and left to fuse or osseointegrate with the jawbone for several months before the restoration can be made and fitted, a technique called delayed implant loading. Osseointegration can take three to six months to complete, and the implants must not be disturbed during this time. Any movement could interfere with healing, delay this process, or cause implant failure.

    However, newer techniques now allow implant dentists to insert dental implants and fit a new set of teeth on the same day so patients can leave the practice with their smile fully restored.

    Advancements in technology mean implant dentists can load or fit new implant teeth soon after surgery to insert the implants while ensuring that osseointegration can occur.

    The surgery is possible because the implant prosthesis is designed to splint or hold the dental implant posts together, preventing movement of the implant posts during healing.

    The implant teeth are fabricated before surgery, ready to fit onto the dental implants soon after surgery.

    The materials used in same-day dental implants are the same as those used in traditional dental implants, such as Titanium and Zirconia, except for temporary restoration.

    Who Can Choose Same-Day Dental Implants?

    Same-Day Dental ImplantsSame-day dental implants are a suitable treatment for most people with reasonable dental and medical health who have no dental problems. It can be especially good for people with:

    • Multiple failing teeth that need to be removed soon
    • Several or all the teeth missing in their upper or lower arch
    • A loose denture that is uncomfortable to wear. Same-day dental implants can eliminate the need for a denture entirely, replacing it with a fixed bridge.
    • A single missing tooth (although the replacement tooth fitted immediately after surgery will most likely be temporary). A single temporary implant crown can be constructed for cosmetic purposes and will not contact the opposing teeth when you bite down. This ensures the implant post remains undisturbed during healing and will not come under pressure. Several months later, the temporary implant crown is replaced with the permanent crown.

    Exceptions:

    • The replacement tooth fitted immediately after surgery for a single missing tooth will most likely be temporary.
    • Same-day dental implants can sometimes be inserted into the jawbone when a failing tooth is removed, but this technique is only suitable if you have a strong jawbone foundation. When jawbone loss has occurred, a dental bone graft is often necessary before implant placement.

    * To learn more about the procedure and its risks and benefits, visit the American Dental Association or the Mayo Clinic website.

    Talk to your dentist or oral surgeon at Riverside Oral Surgery to see if same-day dental implants are right for you. We assess each person carefully for their suitability for treatment and will always recommend the technique we feel will provide an optimal outcome.

    What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Same-Day Teeth?

    Advantages

    • Improved Quality of Life. Treatment can immediately improve overall quality of life, allowing patients to smile confidently and eat more comfortably.
    • Protecting Facial Structure. Same-day teeth restorations are custom-made to provide optimal support for the muscles in the cheeks and lips, restoring and protecting facial dimensions. This can help improve self-confidence and self-esteem.
    • Quick Treatment. Riverside Oral Surgery uses computerized treatment planning and placement computer-guided surgery to place dental implants, ensuring the process is quick and comfortable and that implants are placed in just the right position.
    • Reliable Results. Treatment has been extensively researched, providing reliable results with excellent long-term success rates. Although teeth are fitted soon after surgery, this in no way compromises the overall quality of treatment.
    Advantages of Same-Day Teeth

    Disadvantages

    • Not Suitable for Everyone. Not everyone will be suitable for this treatment. If we feel you will get better results from traditional dental implant treatment, we will recommend that process over same-day dental implants.
    • Dietary Changes During Healing. You may need to change your diet while the dental implants heal and integrate with your jawbone, avoiding tougher, hard, or crunchy foods. If you bite down too hard on your teeth during healing, it could affect osseointegration.

    Same-day dental implants offer a number of advantages over traditional dental implants, including shorter treatment times, reduced discomfort, and immediate restoration of function and aesthetics. If you are considering dental implants, be sure to talk to your dentist about whether same-day dental implants may be a good option for you.

    What Is the Treatment Process for Same-Day Teeth Implants?

    • Consultation. The procedure is similar to all dental implant treatments, requiring a detailed consultation with our dental implant dentist so we can review your dental and medical history and discuss this treatment further. The aim is to ensure dental implants provide the best solution and that you understand what is involved and what to expect once treatment is complete.
    • Treatment Planning. The next stage is to have some diagnostic tests, including a cone beam CT scan that creates detailed 3-D images of your jaws. These diagnostic tests may also include digital dental x-rays, dental impressions of your mouth, and photographs. The cone beam CT scan is critical in creating your treatment plan, allowing our implant dentist to determine where best to situate each dental implant and to ensure once the implants are restored, the prosthesis looks good and functions properly. Ensuring the implants are placed accurately is critical, especially when multiple implants are placed. They must be situated in such a way as to stabilize each other so once the prosthesis is placed, all the implants are locked together and remain strong and stable.
    • Implant Surgery. When the treatment plan is complete, we create a surgical guide produced using the computerized program. It is a template that fits over your gums during surgery, guiding our implant dentists and ensuring each implant is placed accurately, according to the treatment plan. Using a surgical guide ensures we avoid all important structures like nerves and blood vessels and that surgery is quicker and smoother with only minimal incisions required.
    • Implant Restoration. We can fit a new prosthesis soon after the implants are in place. Your new implant teeth are made before surgery, restoring your smile and ability to eat comfortably during healing. Before you leave our surgery, we will review your oral care routine with you and may prescribe antibiotics or an antimicrobial mouthwash to use during healing. Our dental team can show you how to clean the implants thoroughly. It is important to follow our advice closely to avoid potential problems and ensure your implants remain strong and healthy for many years.

    We Can Restore Your Smile in a Day

    Same-day dental implants is a treatment that can restore multiple missing teeth with dental implant teeth in just one day. Treatment is tried and tested, producing reliable long-term results provided patients follow a good after-care routine, maintain excellent oral hygiene, and visit the dentist regularly for checkups and hygiene appointments.

    Although it is an excellent treatment, it isn’t suitable for everyone. Even if you cannot have same-day teeth, conventional dental implants are still worth considering. While you may need to wait longer to finish treatment, the long-term results can be life-changing.
