What is a One Day Implant, and who is it suitable for?

23/09/2024 Dental Implant

We all know that getting a traditional dental implant typically takes several days. However, for patients who have only one day or need an urgent solution, the One Day Implant technology allows the entire process to be completed within a single day. 

Dental implants are the best option for permanent tooth replacement because they function like natural teeth, offering strength, durability, a natural appearance, and easy maintenance. Normally, traditional implants require a healing period for the gums and bone. However, with the One Day Implant that we’re introducing today, the process involves tooth extraction, implant placement, and temporary crown installation all within one day. This provides patients with convenience and allows them to continue their daily lives without interruption. 

Who is suitable for a One Day Implant?

• Those who have lost only 1-2 teeth 

• Those without severe teeth grinding, no habit of clenching their teeth, or no removable dentures nearby 

• Those with sufficient bone and good bone quality for the procedure 

• Those with good oral health 

• Those without underlying health conditions that affect blood clotting or wound healing 

• Non-smokers 

How is a One Day Implant different from a traditional dental implant?

Typically, getting a traditional dental implant takes several months. The process starts with tooth extraction, after which a waiting period of about 3 months is needed for the bone to fully heal. Then, the implant is placed, followed by another 3-month waiting period for the bone to integrate with the implant. Finally, the permanent crown is placed on the implant. 

With a One Day Implant, the treatment time is significantly reduced. The dentist can perform tooth extraction, place the implant, and install a temporary crown all within a single day. This greatly minimizes the number of visits needed. 

However, there are limitations to this approach, and it’s not suitable for every case. Patients should consult with their dentist to develop a personalized and safe treatment plan. 

What are the advantages of One Day Implants?

• The crown can be completed in just one day. 

• Boosts confidence immediately after the crown is placed. 

• Reduces treatment time and the number of dental visits. 

• No need for removable dentures while waiting for the implant to integrate with the bone. 

• Achieves a beautiful and natural-looking smile. 

Who is suitable for dental implants?

• Those who do not want removable dentures 

• Those who have missing teeth in certain areas or are missing all teeth 

• Those who want natural-looking dentures to boost their confidence 

• Those who want durable dentures that allow for easy chewing 

• Those who want clear speech articulation 

• Individuals aged 18 and above 

• Those who do not want to grind down adjacent teeth to create support for a dental bridge 

How to prepare for a dental implant procedure?

• Consult with a dentist to create a treatment plan. 

• Undergo an oral health examination and X-rays to assess the mouth, bone volume, and overall gum condition. 

• The dentist will check for any underlying health conditions that may affect wound healing, review medication and vitamin history, and evaluate other factors or habits such as smoking or teeth grinding to determine the most suitable implant method. 

• The dentist will provide a detailed treatment plan, including whether bone or gum grafting is needed, how many implants are required, whether a crown is necessary, and if a One Day Implant is possible.
