Missing tooth, decaying tooth or full arch replacement, our experienced team will make it seamless. Ready to skip the wait and get your confidence back? Read on to find out about the benefits of immediate implants and how they differ to traditional.
Implants are a restorative dental treatment that replaces missing teeth with a solution that looks, feels and functions like natural teeth. The process involves inserting a titanium screw into the jawbone which acts as a foundation for a new prosthetic tooth. Over time the jawbone bonds with the titanium screw so the implant is secure and can handle the daily functions of a natural tooth. This integration not only gives you a strong and durable replacement but also helps maintain the health of the jawbone, which often resorbs when teeth are missing. Implants are the perfect solution for those looking for a permanent and aesthetically pleasing way to get your smile back.
Same day implants, also known as immediate implants, involve placing the implant and a new prosthetic tooth in one procedure. Immediate implants have many benefits including reduced waiting time for a replacement tooth, fewer dental visits and a natural looking and feeling. Unlike traditional implants which can take months of healing between stages, this option gives you immediate results. No temporary dentures and multiple dental procedures.
The implant, made of titanium, integrates with the jawbone over time and acts like the root of a natural tooth. The result? A smile that’s not only aesthetically pleasing but functional – you can bite, chew and speak with ease.
Immediate implants are suitable if:
You have good oral health and sufficient bone for implant placement straight after tooth extraction.
You need to replace a fallen, damaged or decaying tooth.
You want a permanent solution to avoid the hassle of traditional dentures.
You want to prevent bone resorption and gum disease from missing teeth.
Not everyone is a perfect candidate for same day implants. During your initial consultation your dentist will assess your oral health, determine if bone grafting is required and outline the best treatment plan for your situation.
At your consultation our dentist will assess your existing teeth and check for bone loss. Using advanced imaging tools we will check if your jaw can support the titanium implant. If required bone grafting will be scheduled before the implant procedure to strengthen your jaw.
On the day of the procedure any damaged teeth are removed and immediate implant placement is done by inserting the implant screw into the jawbone. This allows for quick transition to restored oral health and eliminates the waiting period of traditional implants. You’ll leave the clinic with a temporary tooth that functions like your natural teeth.
Although you’ll have new teeth straight away, you still need to follow the recovery protocols. Stick to a soft food diet for the first few days to avoid putting unnecessary strain on the implant. Your dentist will also provide pain medication to help with the discomfort during healing.
Implants have many advantages over traditional dentures and bridges which is why many patients prefer them. Unlike traditional dentures which can be uncomfortable and prone to slipping, implants are anchored in the jawbone providing stability and comfort. You can eat, speak and smile with confidence without worrying about your teeth shifting out of place. Implants are also easier to maintain than bridges as they don’t require the adjacent teeth to be ground down for support. This means you can preserve the health of your natural teeth and have a long term solution for missing teeth. With implants you can have a natural looking smile that enhances your overall oral health and self confidence.
Although the cost of implants is higher than dentures, the long term value is worth it. The cost of implants ranges from $2,000 to $7,000 per tooth depending on the extraction work required and if bone grafting is needed. Payment plans are available to make implants more affordable. Same day implants give you:
Immediate results, no waiting time.
A natural smile without temporary solutions.
Better preservation of the jawbone, no bone loss.
The confidence to eat, speak and smile without worry.
In the long run same day implants eliminate the need for follow up procedures and maintenance, a permanent solution that looks and functions like your natural teeth.
If you have bone loss in your jaw you may need bone grafting to restore the structure. Bone grafting is a simple procedure that stimulates bone growth, providing a solid foundation for your implants. Without it there’s a higher risk of implant failure. Your dentist will guide you through the process to make it smooth.
Yes. Same day implants look and feel like your natural teeth. You can eat, speak and smile with confidence without worrying about slippage or discomfort.
Although implant failure is rare it can happen due to bone loss or poor oral hygiene. We will provide aftercare instructions and regular check ups to ensure your implant is secure.
The cost of same day dental implants varies depending on individual needs and the duration and patient experience during and after the implant treatment. Number of implants and if bone grafting is required can affect the price. We will give you a breakdown of the cost at your consultation.
