Who is the perfect candidate for same-day teeth?
As the name implies, same-day teeth mean you regain your teeth in a single visit to the dental office. It’s because your dentist removes bad teeth, places dental implants, and fixes temporary crowns in a single visit. So there’s no hassle to make multiple visits, you have your smile, and you can comfortably bite and chew your food.
Unfortunately, teeth-in-a-day is completed in a day only in the case of suitable candidates. It’s those who have dental problems that need rectifying who aren’t ideal candidates. This is why your dentist has first to conduct a comprehensive evaluation to decide if teeth-in-a-day is perfect for you.

How candidates are screened
As part of the examination, your dentist will check your:
1. Bone density
As the jawbone anchors dental implants, it should be strong enough to hold the implant in place firmly. There is the risk of a failed implant with poor bone density.
However, there is also a solution if you lack the necessary bone tissue.
You will have first to get a bone graft and wait to recover from the treatment to get your implants.
2. Oral health
Same-day implant candidates are those with excellent oral health. Patients with dental problems like gum disease are first treated, and only after that is the same-day teeth procedure started.
3. Overall health
As implants involve minor oral surgery, the patient should be free of any complicating health conditions. Conditions like high blood pressure, immune system conditions, or diabetes may complicate the procedure.
Besides, patients should always inform the dentist about any medications they take.
4. Teeth condition
Patients who have a habit of clenching the jaw and grinding teeth are not the perfect candidates. This is because there is the risk of biting down and crushing the newly installed implant to dislodge and damage them. Patents having cavities and pain should be first treated before the procedure.
The ideal candidate for same-day teeth
The ideal candidate for all-on-4 dental implants is someone who:
- Needs to replace the entire set of teeth
- Wears dentures but isn’t happy with its fit, maintenance, and unnatural smile
- Takes a great interest in their appearance and smile
- Practices healthy oral habits
- Does not grind their teeth
- Gets frequent toothaches and needs to extract teeth regularly because of poor dental hygiene.
- Has multiple missing teeth and is tired of dental problems
Cost of dental implants
The cost of the same-day teeth mainly depends on your overall mouth condition. This, in turn, depends on various factors like:
- Number of teeth to be implanted
- Number of teeth to be extracted
- If a bone graft is necessary
- If other procedures are required, like treating gum diseases and filling cavities.
Visit your dentist for an examination to determine if you are the perfect candidate for teeth-in-a-day. If you are the ideal patient, then you can get started with the procedure immediately.
However, if you aren’t, your dentist will decide if they can rectify your problem.
The good news is that as long as they have overall good health, most people end up ideal candidates. The only drawback you may have is that you may have to get your tooth problem first resolved.
It’s only after that your dentist starts with the same-day teeth procedure.
