Same-day implants and teeth is a tooth replacement approach with significant advantages over traditional dentures. Implant surgery is completed while you are sedated, and in conjunction with your restorative dentist, non-removable teeth are attached to the implants on the day of surgery.
That means you do not have to wear a removable denture or appliance while your implants heal. You leave the dental chair with a set of beautiful, functional teeth in just one visit.
Same-day full-arch treatment is often a good fit if you:
A consultation with 3D cone beam imaging shows whether you have enough bone and whether same-day teeth are right for you. If bone is lacking, bone grafting and ridge reconstruction may be options.
An exam and 3D cone beam scan to review your bone, gums and goals.
Your implant positions are planned on the computer, together with your restorative dentist.
Implants are placed while you are sedated, and your fixed teeth are attached the same day.
Your implants bond with the bone while you wear fixed teeth, then your dentist completes your final teeth.
For many patients, yes. With computer-planned implant placement, fixed teeth can be attached on the day of surgery, in conjunction with your restorative dentist. Your consultation and 3D scan will show whether it is right for you.
Full-arch treatment replaces all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw with a fixed set of teeth supported by a small number of implants, instead of one implant per tooth. You may have seen it described as “all-on-x” or “teeth in a day.”
Same-day implant surgery is completed while you are sedated, to keep you comfortable.
No. Non-removable teeth are attached to the implants on the day of surgery, so you do not need a removable denture while you heal.
3D cone beam imaging shows exactly how much bone is available. Bone grafting and ridge reconstruction can grow bone where it is lacking.
Yes. Dr. Waasdorp places the implants and works closely with your restorative dentist, who designs and places your teeth.
A single implant replaces one tooth. Same-day full-arch treatment replaces a whole arch at once. Learn more about all of our dental implant options.
