Are you living with missing teeth? If your confidence has been knocked or you are struggling to function in your day-to-day due to missing teeth, we have the solution for you! Keep reading to discover the innovation of same-day dental implants at Lister House Dental Centre in Essex.
What are same-day dental implants?
Same-day dental implants, sometimes referred to as teeth-in-a-day implants, are a restorative solution to missing teeth that can complete your smile in just one surgical appointment. If you’re missing multiple or a full-arch of teeth, then this treatment could be the perfect option to give you back a natural-looking and functional smile.
Full-arch same-day dental implants are suitable for most patients as the procedure does not require bone grafting beforehand. So, if you’ve been told that you do not have a suitable amount of jawbone to hold an implant, get in touch with the implantologists at our dental practice in Harlow and find out more about same-day teeth.
How does the dentist place an implant?
Implants are small but strong titanium screws surgically placed into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. This metal post acts as an artificial tooth root that support replacement teeth prosthetics like dentures or crowns and bridges.
The implant surgery is conducted under anaesthetic, so you will feel no pain or discomfort. When placed by an experienced implantologist, this minimally invasive procedure simply requires over the counter prescriptions to deal with any swelling or soreness directly after surgery.
