Can Dental Implants Be Done In A Day?

Dental implantation, also known as dental implant placement, is recognized as the most comprehensive solution for tooth restoration today. This method is used in cases of single tooth loss, intermittent tooth loss, full arch tooth loss, and not only helps patients restore normal chewing functions but also provides high aesthetic results, giving you a strong, durable, and naturally beautiful set of teeth. So, can we have instant dental implants? And how much do same day dental implants cost?

1. Can we do implants in a day?

In addition to the cost of dental implant placement, the duration of the dental implantation process is also a topic of interest for many people.

In reality, the dental implantation process consists of two main treatment phases: implant post placement and ceramic crown restoration. Specifically, the time it takes to place an implant post into the jawbone lasts approximately 20-30 minutes per post, where bone grafting is not required. In cases of full arch tooth loss, the implantation time using techniques like All-on-X/ProArch is around 120 minutes per arch.

The duration of dental implantation
The implant post integrates into the jawbone, serving as a replacement for the natural tooth root, effectively preventing bone resorption.

However, after implant posts are placed, you need to wait for a period of 6 to 14 weeks for the implant posts to biologically integrate with the body before proceeding with the ceramic crown restoration (attaching ceramic crowns on the implants). The ceramic crown restoration process typically takes about 5 to 7 days over 3 to 5 appointments.

Dental Crowns/Ceramic

Porcelain crowns are designed to restore your teeth to their former, natural appearance.  If you are interested in getting dental crowns or choosing the right material for your crowns, keep reading below to find detailed information about this type of treatment. 1.

Please note that this is the treatment timeline for straightforward cases that do not require bone grafting. If bone grafting or oral health conditions treatment is necessary, the dental implantation process may take longer.

To determine the exact duration of dental implant placement, patients need to consult with a specialist dentist. Through an examination and after conducting necessary tests such as CT scans and X-rays, the dentist will provide a preliminary assessment of the implantation timeline and offer detailed advice to the patient.

2. The time required for dental implantation depends on what factors?

The duration of dental implantation primarily depends on factors such as:

Tooth Loss Condition

Depending on each case, whether it’s a single tooth loss, multiple teeth, or full arch tooth loss, the time required for implant placement varies. Especially for patients who have experienced long-term tooth loss and have significant jawbone resorption, which is not sufficient for dental implantation, they may need sinus lifting and bone grafting procedures. The implantation can only proceed once the previously healed wounds are ready, so it often takes a considerable amount of time.

General Health

The time required for dental implantation also depends on the patient’s current health. For customers with good overall health, the implantation process will be faster. However, for patients with oral health conditions such as gum inflammation, periodontitis, or gingivitis, these symptoms must be completely treated before implantation. Patients with high blood pressure need to stabilize this condition before implantation, and smokers should quit smoking for 1-2 weeks before and after the implantation.

Dentist’s Expertise

A highly skilled dentist with many years of experience in dental implantation will perform the procedures with expertise, reducing the time required for implantation. Additionally, this expertise ensures the safety and success rate of the surgical procedure.
