At first glance, getting new teeth in a single day might seem like an impossible promise. How could anyone come into a dentist’s office with missing teeth and leave with a permanent solution? Thanks to mini implants, same-day teeth are no longer a far-away dream—they’re a reality. At Bivona Family Dentistry, we use innovative techniques to give you a new smile in just one visit. While it may sound impossible, dental technology has come a long way! While dentists used to use tools like mallets and chisels for dental work, we now have innovative tools, like implant technology, that have revolutionized dentistry. Using mini implants, we can place your implants and new teeth on the same day!
At Bivona Family Dentistry, our team of experienced dentists is dedicated to providing you with a beautiful new smile in a cost-effective, comfortable, and convenient way!
What Is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are titanium posts that we place in the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. In general, there are two kinds of dental implants: traditional (or conventional) implants and mini implants.
Traditional implants are about 5 millimeters in diameter. Because of their size, we must make an incision in the gums to insert them. These larger implants also require sufficient bone for support. If you don’t have enough bone, you may need a bone graft, which extends the treatment timeline and increases costs.
When the jawbone is ready for placement, we will use a series of drills to make a hole in the bone. Our dentists will place the implant’s components at separate appointments so your mouth can heal between procedures. While traditional implants are strong and durable, they have some drawbacks compared to mini implants.
Mini implants are less than 3 millimeters in diameter, so they require less bone for placement. This feature makes them a more accessible option for patients. Because of the implants’ size and design, we can place them without making incisions. And instead of using multiple drills, we can simply make a small pilot hole and screw the implant into place.
Unlike a traditional implant with multiple parts, a mini implant is a single piece. This one-piece design simplifies the process, allowing us to place them in just one appointment! Additionally, traditional implants, with their multiple components, carry a higher risk of infection as bacteria can accumulate between the parts. The design of mini implants reduces that risk, making them a preferred choice for patients with a history of oral infections.
Due to their minimally invasive nature, fewer appointments needed, and one-piece design, mini implants are significantly less expensive than traditional implants!
Getting Teeth in a Day With Mini Implants
The impressive benefits of mini implants allow us to offer same-day tooth replacement!
If you want to enjoy new teeth in a day, the first step is to schedule a free consultation at Bivona Family Dentistry. At your consultation, we will take a CBCT scan and do a thorough examination to evaluate the health of your jawbone and teeth. We will then work with you to formulate a treatment plan that best suits your needs!
The procedure for mini implants is simple and comfortable. We will make a small pilot hole in the gums, similar to an ear piercing. We will then insert the one-piece implant through the gums and into the jawbone. Thanks to the screw design, a mini implant is immediately stable in the bone. This feature allows us to attach a restoration immediately.
What Situations Qualify for Teeth in a Day?
In most cases, our experienced dentists can place your implant and final restoration in just one day! When a front tooth must be extracted, we prefer to remove it and place the mini implant at the same visit so that you don’t have to feel self-conscious about your smile! However, after a molar extraction, your gums might need more time to heal before they support a restoration.
The timeline also depends on how many teeth are being replaced. While single teeth are often an easy fix, multiple teeth may require more time. In any case, the road to tooth replacement with mini dental implants is much more efficient than conventional implants.
