Question 1

What are same-day dental implants?

Accepted Answer

Same-day implants, also known as 'immediate load' implants or 'Teeth in a Day', is a procedure where a temporary but functional crown or bridge is attached to the implant on the same day the implant is surgically placed.

Question 2

What are the main benefits of same-day implants?

Accepted Answer

The primary benefit is convenience and aesthetics. Patients can leave the dental office with a new, functional tooth in a single visit, avoiding the need to wear a removable temporary tooth or have a gap during the healing period.

Question 3

Is everyone a candidate for same-day implants?

Accepted Answer

No, not everyone is a candidate. This technique requires excellent initial implant stability, which depends on having sufficient quantity and quality of jawbone. A thorough evaluation with a 3D scan is necessary.

Question 4

What is the difference between same-day implants and immediate implant placement?

Accepted Answer

They are often used together but are different concepts. 'Immediate placement' means placing the implant at the time of tooth extraction. 'Same-day implant' (or immediate loading) refers to placing a temporary crown on the implant right away. You can have one without the other.

Question 5

Is the tooth I get on the same day the final one?

Accepted Answer

No, the tooth placed on the day of surgery is a temporary restoration. It is designed to be functional and aesthetic while the implant heals. After the healing period (typically 3-6 months), it will be replaced with a stronger, permanent crown.

Question 6

Are there any special precautions with same-day implants?

Accepted Answer

Yes, during the healing period, you will need to be on a soft diet and avoid putting heavy chewing forces on the temporary crown to allow the implant to integrate with the bone without disturbance.
