Many people don’t get the dental implants they need to improve their oral health and quality of life because they are afraid of being without teeth, even for a short time. We understand your worries and do teeth-in-a-day procedures all around Toronto. With these, patients can get their teeth replaced on the same day as their implant surgery. This new way of treating people gets rid of the waiting time and gives them immediate function and a natural look.
To get the best results for our patients, teeth-in-a-day treatments require a lot of planning and precise surgery. We start with precise digital imaging and treatment planning that shows us the structure of your jaw and the best places to put the implants. This rigorous preparation process lets us make your temporary teeth ahead of time, so they are ready to be attached right after your implant operation.
During the surgical procedure, any damaged teeth that are still there are carefully removed, and dental implants are placed in strategic locations across your jaw. Toronto North Periodontics uses the latest surgical techniques to minimize tissue damage and maximize initial stability of the implants. We check the quality and density of the bone to make sure each implant gets enough primary stability so you can load it right away with your temporary restoration.
Choosing the right patients is very important for teeth in a day to work, since not everyone is a good candidate for immediate loading. When deciding who can have this faster therapy, we look at several things, such as the quality of the bones, the strength of the bite, the person’s medical history, and their lifestyle. Patients who meet our strict requirements do quite well with immediate loading treatments.
We make and attach your temporary teeth right after surgery, so you can leave our office with a full, functional smile. These temporary restorations let you chew soft foods well enough while keeping the implants safe during the critical integration time. We use these to fit your temporary teeth to make sure they are comfortable and aligned correctly. We also use these to fit your temporary teeth to your temporary teeth. We also use these to make sure your bite is aligned correctly.
After your teeth in a day procedure, the osseointegration process goes on for several months as your jawbone slowly bonds with the implant surfaces. We monitor your progress throughout this time by having regular follow up appointments and making any necessary changes to your temporary teeth. This regular care ensures your implants work with your body and you are comfortable.During the first few weeks of healing, it’s very important to follow dietary rules to keep your new implants and temporary restorations from too much stress. We give you precise instructions on what foods to eat and how to eat them to help you heal and avoid problems. Most patients get used to these temporary changes fast and love having teeth right away while they heal.
Once your body has fully healed, which usually takes three to six months, you can switch to your permanent teeth. We use high quality materials to make your final restorations that are very strong and look like real teeth. These permanent teeth are built to last for decades and can handle the daily stresses of chewing.
After a teeth-in-a-day treatment, you will need to take certain medications and follow certain instructions to ensure your healing goes as smooth as possible. We are here to answer your questions and handle any issues you may have during your recovery. Most patients have some discomfort that is manageable and gets much better in the first few days after surgery.
When the right guidelines are followed and the right patients are chosen, the success rates for immediate loading procedures are similar to those for standard implant procedures. During your appointment we go over the pros and cons of teeth in a day treatment and set realistic expectations for what you can expect.
For patients who need more specialized dental care, we work closely with other specialists, such as those who provide Endodontics services, to plan complete treatment that meets all of your oral health needs.
Teeth in a day has a big impact that goes way beyond making things easier and more comfortable right away. We help people all around North York and the broader Toronto area get their mouths working again and feel more confident with this life changing treatment that gets rid of the long wait times that are part of dental implant treatments.
