Same-day teeth

For a long time, those who lost several or all of their teeth believed they would have to get used to a removable denture or face a long treatment, with several months of waiting before smiling again.
Today, that reality has changed.
Advances in implantology allow, in many cases, for fixed teeth to be placed on the very same day, restoring not only the aesthetics of the smile, but also confidence, comfort, and quality of life.
But how is this possible? Can anyone benefit from this treatment? In this article, we explain how the evolution of dentistry has made this solution a reality for thousands of people.
Contrary to what many people think, "same-day" does not mean a rushed treatment.
It means that, after rigorous planning and a carefully executed surgery, it is possible to place a temporary fixed prosthesis on the very day of the surgery. In this way, the patient is not left without teeth during the healing period.
This approach allows for the immediate recovery of aesthetics and a large part of the chewing function, always maintaining the necessary clinical follow-up until the placement of the definitive prosthesis.
Although the patient only sees the day of the surgery, the truth is that the work begins weeks before.
Before any procedure, a detailed study is carried out that includes tests such as a CT scan (TAC), photographs, bite analysis, and a complete evaluation of oral health.
With all this information, the team is able to:
Study the quantity and quality of available bone;
Define the ideal position of each implant;
Plan the future prosthesis before the surgery takes place;
Anticipate possible challenges and prepare solutions.
The success of the treatment also depends on the care taken in the first few weeks.
It is advisable to:
Strictly comply with the prescribed medication;
Choose softer foods during the period indicated by your doctor;
Maintain careful oral hygiene, following all team instructions;
Attend follow-up appointments;
Avoid excessive exertion and habits like smoking, especially in the early stages of healing.
Following these recommendations helps to promote proper integration of the implants and ensure the longevity of the treatment.
Having fixed teeth in just one day does not mean rushing steps or compromising the safety of the treatment. Quite the opposite: it is the result of rigorous planning, advanced technology, and a carefully studied clinical approach.
Each patient has different needs and, therefore, only a personalized evaluation can determine if this technique is the most suitable solution for your case.
If you would like to restore your smile and find out if you are a candidate for same-day fixed teeth, book an evaluation appointment. Our team will be delighted to study your case and present you with the most appropriate solution to make you smile with confidence again.
01
How is it possible to get teeth on the same day?
The concept is called immediate load.
After the placement of the implants, and when the appropriate clinical conditions exist, it is possible to fix a temporary prosthesis on the very same day.
This means that the patient does not leave the clinic without teeth, nor do they need to use a removable prosthesis during the healing phase. It is important to understand that this prosthesis is carefully prepared to protect the implants while they integrate into the bone over the following months.
