Same Day Teeth: How Dental Implants Transform Your Smile in One Day [Video Breakdown]

Missing teeth have a profound effect on your smile. Not only do they create gaps, but they also affect your ability to chew and speak clearly. The longer your tooth is missing, the more likely you’ll experience issues like bone loss or shifting teeth, which affect your oral health. The only way to restore your smile and stop these effects is to replace your missing teeth, preferably with dental implants! These titanium posts embed in your jawbone, keeping your bone healthy and supporting artificial tooth restorations. And with innovative mini dental implants, we may even be able to provide same day teeth replacement! Visit St. Apollonia Dental for a free consultation, and learn how we use mini implants to restore your smile in just one day.

The Mini Dental Implant Difference

Mini dental implants are smaller than traditional implants and have a sleek one-piece design. Thanks to their unique structure, mini implants provide benefits to patients like:

• Minimally invasive placement: Mini implants are much smaller than conventional implants, allowing them to fit into less bone. For patients who’ve lost bone structure after tooth loss, mini implants are a great option! And to place mini implants, we use a minimally invasive procedure that preserves a lot of your jawbone structure.
• Faster healing period: Because mini implants are less invasive, they promote faster healing. Most patients experience a few short days of discomfort before returning to their everyday activities. And any discomfort you do experience is easily managed with over-the-counter medications.
• More affordable price: With only one placement appointment and a sleek one-piece design, mini implants are less expensive than conventional implants. In many cases, mini implant treatment is almost half the cost of conventional implant treatment.
• Same day teeth: Because mini implants are less invasive and have a self-tapping screw design, they support restorations the same day we place them. Unlike conventional implants, which need months of healing before they’re stable enough to support restorations, mini implants can support temporary crowns, bridges, or dentures the same day, restoring your teeth in one appointment.

However, not everyone is eligible for mini dental implants. In some cases, patients may need an implant with a larger diameter due to soft bone. But in most cases, we find that patients are eligible for same day teeth with mini implants!

The Same Day Teeth Process

The mini dental implant process is simple.

We begin with a free consultation, where we will discuss your needs and examine your smile. An exam helps us identify any underlying issues, such as gum disease or root canal infections, so we can address them first. Then, we’ll take a 3D digital X-ray of your smile to assess your jawbone quality. With this imaging, we’ll determine whether your bone can support dental implants and where to place them safely.

Then, at your procedural appointment, we’ll use a local anesthetic to numb your smile. Once you’re comfortable, we’ll drill a small pilot hole into your gums and jaw, typically the width of a toothpick. Using the opening as a guide, we gently screw the implant into place.

Mini implants have a threaded design, similar to that of a self-tapping screw. Once in your jaw, these implants will embed in your bone and begin stabilizing immediately. While conventional implants would require patients to wait months for a restoration, we can place a temporary crown, bridge, or denture the same day. With same day dental implants, you can go home after your appointment and enjoy a complete and functional smile!

Then, when you return to our office, we will replace the temporary restoration with the final version, permanently restoring your smile.

Making Same Day Teeth Affordable at St. Apollonia Dental

During your free consultation with us, we will also go over costs and review your insurance coverage. Here at St. Apollonia Dental, we believe in true, transparent pricing. By going over costs before we begin treatment, we help patients avoid surprise fees and understand what their dental insurance will cover.

Unfortunately, not every insurance plan covers dental implants. Some may provide partial coverage, while others won’t cover anything at all. If you’re left without coverage or with out-of-pocket costs, we have a way to make your care more affordable.

St. Apollonia Dental, we partner with multiple third-party financing companies that help split your costs into monthly payments. With assistance from our financing team, you can apply at our office to learn if you qualify for financing. If so, you’ll be able to choose from a variety of flexible payment plans!

We will help you find a solution that fits your budget, making same day teeth affordable.
