Consultation and Evaluation
The first step in getting same-day dental implants is a consultation with your dentist. During this consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine if you are a good candidate for same-day dental implants. X-rays and other imaging may be taken to assess the condition of your jawbone and surrounding teeth.
Treatment Planning
Once you are deemed a suitable candidate for same-day dental implants, the treatment planning phase begins. Your dentist will create a personalized treatment plan that outlines the specific steps needed to complete the implant procedure. This plan will also include information on the type of implant, materials to be used, and any additional procedures required.
Implant Placement
On the day of your implant procedure, the implants will be surgically placed in your jawbone. In the case of same-day dental implants, the entire process of placing the implants and attaching the artificial teeth can be completed in one visit. Local anesthesia is usually administered to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
Healing and Follow-Up
After the implants are placed, there is a period of healing that must take place before the final restoration can be attached. During this healing phase, you will be given specific instructions on how to care for your implants and what to expect. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure the implants are integrating properly into your jawbone.
