Same-Day Teeth

Dental implants represent a well-established and successful approach to restore missing or damaged teeth. However, traditional implant procedures may require patients to wait several months before their implants can be fully restored with a dental crown or bridge. Fortunately, immediate restorations can provide patients with same-day teeth through dental implants.

Why wait?

Immediate restorations refer to a dental implant approach that allows for the placement of a temporary dental crown or bridge onto the implant immediately after its placement. The restoration is typically made from acrylic or composite material and is designed to last for a few months while the implant fully integrates with the jawbone.

Immediate restorations

During the immediate restoration process, patients can expect to have a temporary dental crown or bridge placed onto the dental implant immediately after its placement. The temporary restoration is designed to mimic the shape, size, and color of the natural teeth, allowing patients to leave the dental office with a functional and aesthetic tooth replacement on the same day as the implant placement. This immediate restoration can help patients feel more confident and comfortable during the healing process.

Take care of your new teeth

Patients may experience some discomfort or swelling in the days following the procedure, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs. It is important for patients to follow their dentist's post-operative instructions carefully to promote optimal healing and ensure the success of the implant.

Smile now, smile later

Immediate restorations can lead to a more predictable and successful implant outcome. By placing a temporary restoration onto the implant immediately after placement, the implant is better protected from outside forces that could disrupt the healing process. Moreover, the temporary restoration can help guide the implant into the correct position for optimal long-term results.

Permanent solution

Immediate restorations can also help preserve the surrounding natural teeth and gum tissue. Traditional implant procedures often require adjacent teeth to be prepared and reduced in size to accommodate a dental bridge. With immediate restorations, however, adjacent teeth do not need to be altered, which helps to maintain their integrity.

The right fit

While immediate restorations offer many benefits, they may not be suitable for everyone. For example, patients with low bone density or gum disease may require additional treatment before an implant can be placed. Additionally, immediate restorations may not be recommended for patients who clench or grind their teeth.

Fast-track your smile

Patients can expect to enjoy a comfortable, convenient, and successful dental implant experience with immediate restorations. With same-day teeth, patients can regain their smile and confidence without having to wait for several months for their implants to be fully restored. If you are considering dental implants, speak with your dentist to determine if immediate restorations are a suitable option for you.
