Missing teeth have a significant impact on your oral health and function. Not only do missing teeth affect your smile, they also affect your ability to eat and speak. Your teeth perform important roles in stimulating your supporting bone to keep it strong and healthy. Missing teeth lead to a number of problems with your tooth alignment as well as your oral function and overall health and quality of life. This makes it crucial that you replace missing teeth as soon as possible.
Dr. Joyce Ma offers same-day implants to help restore your smile and oral health. Also known as immediate tooth replacement, same-day implants ensure that you are not without teeth for any length of time, and they speed up the recovery of your oral health and function.
Immediate tooth replacement is a unique dental procedure that allows you to leave Prime Dental Care Implants with fully functional teeth the same day as your initial treatment. When you receive same-day implants, our dentists will extract your damaged teeth, place your implant posts and cap them with your implant restoration. In some cases, our dentists may use CEREC technology to complete your restoration during your appointment, but in other cases, we may place a temporary restoration until your final restoration can be completed. Depending on your individual needs, this implant restoration could be a single crown, a dental bridge, or a complete or partial denture.
You may be a candidate for immediate tooth replace if you:
- Have missing or damaged teeth
- Do not require a bone grafting procedure prior to implant placement
- Have healthy oral tissues
- Do not grind your teeth
- Do not have any medical conditions that would affect bone healing
- Are seeking an alternative to traditional dentures and bridges
Remember, dental implants are considered the ideal option for replacing missing teeth because they fully restore your oral health and function and are designed to last for a lifetime. You can continue benefiting from your dental implants for the rest of your life as long as you continue to care for them properly with good oral hygiene and regular visits to our dentists for preventive care.
