Nine Interesting Aspects of Same-Day Smiles
1. No waiting after extractions
Same-day smiles give you your teeth back practically immediately. There is no possible loss of confidence, poor oral health, or jaw bone deterioration due to waiting between extraction and implantation.
2. Quick healing
Implant-retained crowns are ready to go on the same day and need only a few months for the complete osseointegration between bone and implants.
3. Look and feel like natural teeth
Dental implants have titanium ‘roots’ permanently fused to your jawbone. It lets you comfortably bite and chew without fear of the implants falling out like dentures do.
4. High payoff
Dental implants are relatively expensive upfront but cheaper than other restorative dental treatments. They are like real teeth and can last a lifetime with healthy oral health.
While dentures seem cheaper upfront, they require replacement every few years to compensate for jawbone deficiency.
5. Look Natural
Messing teeth not only dampens your smile but can also shrink your face. Dentures may give a temporary fix, but dental implants stabilize your jawbone, and prevent demineralizing and consequent deterioration to look like your natural teeth.
6. Minimal maintenance
Dental implants do not need any additional care. They are like your natural teeth, so you do not feel like something is blocking your mouth. Besides, there is no worry about cavities forming as the titanium is impervious to plaque.
However, you still need good oral hygiene, like regular brushing. It prevents triggering possible gum disease around the implant and cavities in surrounding teeth.
7. Protects existing teeth
Same-day implants prevent adjacent teeth from shifting to compensate for the gap between old and damaged teeth. They thus reduce jaw pain, swollen gums, and infections from spreading to the healthy surrounding teeth and falling out.
8. As strong as rockets
Yes, you heard that right. Dental implants are of the same titanium used for building rockets, proving their strength. Fused to your jawbone and mouth, they withstand daily wear and tear due to regular oral functions.
9. Anyone can get dental implants
Generally, anyone can get a dental implant to replace extracted teeth. Only children are ineligible as their developing jawbone with bone shifts and growing permanent teeth can lead to the failure of implants
Remember, it takes just four dental implants to restore tooth row. However, your dentist makes the final decision after confirming if you are a good candidate for a same-day smile.
