What Are “Dental Implants in a Day?”
Dental Implants take skill, care and time to be placed, to heal properly and to last. “Dental Implants in a Day” and “Teeth in a Day” have become catchphrases, especially in online advertisements, to lure patients into many clinics.
Dental Implants, to replace missing teeth, must be carefully placed in the jaw, so that they fully integrate into the jaw. Once they are fully integrated, and are securely in place, permanent crowns can be placed on top of the implant. Dental Implants and crowns can, technically, be placed in a day, but it takes before-and-after care to ensure perfect, lasting results.
Before an implant is put into place, x-rays must be taken to ensure that there is enough bone in the jaw to accept the implant and an assessment must be done to make sure that patient is in good enough health to be a candidate for dental implants. After the implant is put into place, the body begins to generate bone around the implant. When all goes well, the generated bone holds the implant securely in place. This process takes several weeks to complete.
Temporary crowns can be placed on the implants, so you leave with teeth in place, but monitoring and follow-up care is essential for the best results. When the process is complete, your dentist will make sure that healing has been successful. The permanent crowns will be placed on the implants at the final visit.
So, “Dental Implants in a Day” sounds good, but is not entirely accurate. The implants can be placed in a day, but follow-up care is necessary…if you want them to last.
