Can Dental Implants Be Done In One Day?

Traditional dental implants will take several months of healing before you can eat and brush with them like normal, because the implant has to fuse with the jaw bone in a process called, “osseointegration.” But with all-on-4 dental implants, you can walk away with a new smile in just a day. The surgery takes about 2 ½ hours and has a 98 percent success rate.

What are All-on-4 Implants?

All-on-4 implants, often called, “same-day implants” or “teeth-in-a-day” have just four implants that support an entire denture whereas traditional implants have a crown for each implant. All-on-4 implants are made of titanium and acrylic or zirconium. They function like natural teeth, look like natural teeth, and are permanent. If you’re in good health, don’t smoke, or have an autoimmune disease, you may be a candidate for all-on-4 dental implants. You’ll want to have a consultation with an experienced dentist to see if these implants are right for you.
