"I'd like my treatment done in one day"

One of the most common questions asked for our patients “can implants be carried out in a single visit, I'd like my treatment down in one day”.

As with all complicated questions the answer is yes and no.

 

Placing an implant in the same day as an extraction, or placing an implant and adding a restoration on the same day is possible but its very complex and should only be carried out by experienced teams following a very careful assessment of individual patients.

There is no, one treatment fits all when it comes to immediate dental implant treatment.

Immediate replacement of single teeth with a crown on the same day can be a complex and difficult procedure, but the ability to replace all teeth or a full jaw of teeth immediately is much more of an established process. It is not a procedure that should be carried out by anything other than a very experienced implant team and should be discussed carefully with patients to ensure they are aware of the potential risks and benefits of such a procedure.

It is important to consider that implant treatment such as these require experience, training and excellent teamwork to be able to provide the best possible results. It is very important to ask implant providers who are providing such treatment what they have in place to make sure that treatment is safe and effective.

Conscientious and caring implant practices will be happy to discuss all aspects of treatment and all options available to you as necessary.

If you are interested in proceeding with dental implant treatment, an open and honest conversation about all options available with an experienced and highly trained team is always the safest way forward.
