Same-Day Dental Implants vs. Traditional Implant Procedures

Patients who have lost one or more teeth will want to find a replacement quickly and economically. A same day dental implant often provides an ideal solution because it uses advanced techniques which allows dentists to place the implants and then load them right away with restored teeth, without waiting for the body to heal.

The implant relies on being in position so it can’t move throughout the healing process. If it moves just a tiny bit though, this would cause problems with integrating with the bones as well as affecting things like how stable it is overall, which could lead to serious consequences for someone down the line who isn’t aware of what happened.

With same-day, implant-supported bridges, the implants are effectively locked in place by the bridge, ensuring no movement. These techniques of restoration – either restoring one tooth or replacing a full arch of teeth with dental appliances – use only those materials which will not come into contact with other teeth. Though small diameter implants can be used for these procedures, they are typically reserved for those who do not want to undergo flapless surgery techniques as well.

Compared to traditional dental implants, same-day dental implants may seem like a quicker option. You’ll go through the same consultation and examination as with traditional dental implants, but the procedure to actually place the dental implant can be completed in one visit.

This process also allows for the implant to fuse better with your bone structure. When you leave our office after this procedure – which is able to replace all of your natural teeth at once – you’ll have an entirely new set of perfect teeth installed without delay and we’ll take care of everything else from there!

Pros of same-day dental implants

This treatment offers a high level of patient satisfaction due to its convenience. For patients, they can receive their implant surgery and new teeth in one visit instead of the traditional route where they would go through months with temporary replacements. Patients won’t need to worry about wearing uncomfortable partial or full dentures while waiting for implants; same-day dental implants provide them with immediate relief after surgery with minimal disruptions in everyday life. The techniques used for these procedures are thoroughly tested so there is no risk of compromising the long term success of treatments – which gives people peace of mind knowing it’s safe for them to have.

One of the most common dental implant treatment procedures is called All-on-Four. This technique involves only four prosthetic teeth attached to a single implant, instead of traditional dentures. Bone grafting has been shown to be less necessary because these implants are often placed in thick bones, reducing the amount needed from donor sites. This reduces costs for patients but still provides high quality results.

What are zygomatic implants and why might you need them?

Zygoma implants are placed into the cheekbone so it can provide stability for dental bridges. Because the zygomatic bone is less dense than your upper jaw, this provides a strong base for implant support that helps when placing one immediately after surgery.

These implants have been in use since the late 1980’s and have a long history of success. They can be used for dental rehabilitation in patients with insufficient bone because of an array of reasons – such as when there has been increased bone loss due to aging, after removal of tumors, trauma, or severe atrophy.

Zygomatic, also known as “zygoma”, provides a substitute for bone grafts in the upper jaw and are dental implants which traverse inside the impoverished region of your top jaws to anchor into the underside of the cheekbones through your sinuses. These Implants are inserted into the back section from within your mouth and can be combined with one or more typical (root shape) implants in the front half of your jaw. Depending on the patient’s needs, either 2 zygoma implants (one each side) or 4 (2 each side) are placed to support full or partial dental bridges.

What makes these dental implants different from regular ones?

Zygomatic implants are considerably larger than normal root-form dental implants, yet they are inserted through the mouth and anchored into the cheekbone (zygomatic bone) instead of anchoring into the alveolar bone in your mouth. This offers you higher initial stability because there is harder material where these implants anchor – making immediate replacement teeth possible by placing them on the same day as receiving an implant.

Can A Zygomatic Implant Be Combined With A Normal Implant?

Yes, zygomatic implants and root form dental implants may be used simultaneously in certain circumstances. For example, some patients have enough bone for an implant at the front of their mouth, but not enough behind it. In these cases, a combination of both types of implants would be required.
