If you’re missing one or more teeth, the idea of waiting months to complete dental implant treatment can feel discouraging. That’s where “Teeth-in-a-Day” implants come in—a groundbreaking solution that allows many patients to walk out of the dental office with a fully functional, natural-looking smile in just one day. At North Texas Family Dental, we’re proud to offer this life-changing option to qualifying patients.
What Are Teeth-in-a-Day Implants?
Teeth-in-a-Day, also known as same-day implants, are a modern dental procedure that enables the placement of implants and temporary prosthetic teeth all in a single appointment. Unlike traditional implants that require months of healing before you can use your new teeth, this approach offers immediate results.
It’s important to note that the teeth placed on the same day are usually temporary restorations. After the healing process (typically 3–6 months), you’ll receive your permanent custom-designed teeth.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates for Teeth-in-a-Day:
- Are missing most or all teeth in one or both arches
- Have adequate bone density to support implants
- Are in good general and oral health
- Are non-smokers or willing to quit during the healing period
We begin the process with a comprehensive consultation, including 3D digital imaging, to determine if this treatment is right for you.
Benefits of Teeth-in-a-Day
- 1. Immediate Function and Aesthetics: You don’t have to go another day with missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures. You’ll leave the office with a full set of functional and attractive teeth, boosting your confidence instantly.
- 2. Shorter Treatment Timeline: Traditional implants can take up to a year to complete. Teeth-in-a-Day drastically reduce that time, providing faster results with fewer visits.
- 3. Prevents Bone Loss: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the deterioration that naturally occurs after tooth loss. This helps preserve your facial structure and oral health.
- 4. One Surgery Instead of Multiple Procedures: Since the temporary restoration is placed the same day as the implant, you avoid multiple surgeries and prolonged discomfort.
- 5. Improved Quality of Life: Patients report eating, speaking, and smiling more comfortably and naturally, often within just a few days of surgery.
The Procedure Step-by-Step
- 1. Consultation and Planning: We start with an in-depth consultation, which includes a review of your health history, dental exams, and 3D imaging to map out your jawbone structure. This planning stage is essential to ensure optimal placement of the implants.
- 2. Extraction (if needed): If you still have damaged or failing teeth, they will be extracted on the same day as your implant placement.
- 3. Implant Placement: Using guided surgical techniques, we place 4 to 6 dental implants per arch. These titanium posts act as anchors for your new teeth.
- 4. Immediate Prosthesis Placement: We attach a customized temporary prosthesis to the implants so you can leave the office with a full smile. This prosthetic is secure and comfortable for daily use while your implants heal and integrate with the bone.
- 5. Healing and Final Restoration: Over the next few months, your implants will fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Once healing is complete, we’ll replace the temporary teeth with your permanent restoration.
Are Same-Day Implants Safe?
Absolutely. This method has been rigorously studied and tested. With proper planning and execution by experienced dental professionals, the success rates are very high—comparable to traditional implant protocols.
Our team at North Texas Family Dental uses cutting-edge technology and precision techniques to ensure a safe and predictable outcome.
How Much Do Teeth-in-a-Day Implants Cost?
The cost varies based on factors like the number of implants, whether extractions or bone grafts are needed, and the materials used in your final restorations. While same-day implants are a higher upfront investment than traditional dentures, they are more durable, comfortable, and natural-looking.
We’ll provide a transparent estimate and discuss financing options to help you fit this treatment into your budget.
