Dental Implants: Same-Day Smile

Lots of people have lost all their teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or are faced with this prospect. Although one option is to replace teeth with a full denture, this isn’t a prospect that most people will relish, especially as dentures often come with numerous problems that often only become worse after they have been worn for a few years.

An alternative is to use multiple dental implants that are optimally placed in the jawbone to provide adequate support for a fixed bridge or removable  dental implant retained denture.

This type of procedure does require extremely careful planning on the part of your implant dentist at the Manhattan Periodontics & Implant Surgery Center. It will be necessary to determine if you have adequate bone to support the implants as otherwise you may need a bone graft prior to surgery.

The number of dental implants required can vary from person to person, depending on the type of bridge to be used and the number of teeth to be replaced.

With Dental Implants You Won’t Be Left without Teeth during Treatment

If you still have some teeth remaining that will need to be extracted, there may be a number of different options.

It could be that your dentist will recommend removing these teeth before dental implant surgery, or sometimes it’s possible to extract them and to place the implants at the same time.

It may also be possible to use these teeth to support a temporary fixed bridge while your dental implants are healing, but could depend on where your new dental implants need to be inserted. Once the implants have fully healed then these teeth can be extracted and a full replacement bridge constructed.

The advantage of this type of scenario is that it will enable you to eat and chew, and to speak and smile quite normally during treatment without the need to wear a removable denture.

 

Same-Day Smiles or Same-Day Teeth with Dental Implants

If this is impossible, your dentist will provides you with a temporary removable denture to wear during the healing process. It’s also becoming increasingly common to use a temporary bridge that is fixed onto the newly placed implants straightaway in a process known as immediate loading.

This means you will be able to chew quite normally while the dental implants are healing in your jaw. This process is very technique sensitive as the implants have to be precisely placed so they are locked in position by the bridge during healing. This helps ensure they are completely secure during the healing process and cannot move around.

You might hear this process referred to as “same-day smiles” or “same-day teeth,” but even though you receive your replacement teeth straightaway they will always be temporary and will need to be replaced with your permanent restoration at a later date once your dental implants have healed.

Deciding on a Fixed Bridge or Removable Denture

When you replace a full arch of teeth then there are two different options to choose from. You can opt for a fixed bridge that is firmly cemented or screwed into position and which can only be removed by your dentist. Alternatively you can have a removable denture that clips onto the dental implants and which can be taken out for easy cleaning each day.

Your dentist at the Manhattan Periodontics & Implant Surgery Center can discuss each option with you, as it is likely one particular choice will prove more suitable.
