Immediate or same-day dental implants are an excellent solution for patients undergoing tooth extraction. The roots of your teeth extend into the jawbone, providing vital stimulation during chewing. However, when teeth are missing, this stimulation is lost, resulting in jawbone deterioration, dental shifting, facial sagging, and even significant bone loss.
With same-day dental implants, the implant is placed during the same appointment as the tooth extraction. By immediately replacing the extracted tooth with an implant, you can maintain a complete smile without any gaps. This approach minimizes the number of required appointments and ensures your oral health is preserved. Dental implants are indistinguishable from natural teeth in terms of appearance, sensation, and functionality. They provide the confidence to smile and eat comfortably, and with proper care, they can last a lifetime.
Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants fuse with the jawbone, offering long-lasting results. These titanium alloy artificial tooth roots are surgically implanted in the jawbone. At Alpine Dental, our experienced dentists specialize in placing implants that look natural and provide optimal comfort.
Choose same-day dental implants for a seamless and durable solution to replace one or more missing teeth. Regain your smile’s natural beauty and enjoy the benefits of long-term tooth replacement with our expert dental implant services.
Options After Extractions
When faced with the extraction, damage, or loss of an adult tooth, there are several tooth replacement options to consider. Dr. Khan will guide you through these options and collaborate with you to determine the most suitable restorative treatment for your specific needs.
Dental implants are a popular choice due to their high success rates and natural appearance. They provide an effective solution for replacing missing teeth, requiring no special care. Simply maintain regular brushing and flossing, just like you would with your natural teeth, and your implants can last a lifetime.
Your options following a tooth extraction include:
- Dental Implants: This restorative solution preserves jaw bone health by fusing to the jaw. Dental implants are versatile, allowing you to receive as many as needed to complete your smile.
- All-on-4® Treatment Concept: This procedure involves using four dental implant posts to support a fixed prosthesis, providing a comprehensive restoration for one or both dental arches and resulting in a brand new smile.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: A dental implant can be inserted to support a bridge, eliminating the need to modify your natural teeth by grinding them down to accommodate the bridge.
- Removable Dentures/Bridges: These options are more cost-effective initially but require periodic replacements. They demand special care, and removable prostheses must be taken out during eating and cleaning. Dentures and bridges cosmetically restore your smile but do not preserve jaw bone health, making you susceptible to bone loss.
- No Replacement: Leaving a missing tooth untreated leads to jaw bone loss over time. Adjacent teeth may shift into the open space, causing misalignment and bite problems.
By exploring these tooth replacement options, you can make an informed decision about the best solution for your oral health and aesthetic goals. The expertise of Dr. Khan and Dr. Moody will ensure you receive the highest quality restorative treatment.
Same-Day Dental Implant Cost
By opting to replace your tooth immediately after extraction, you can save both time and money by minimizing the number of appointments required for tooth restoration. Typically, a separate procedure is needed to place the implant post. However, by having it done on the same day as your extraction, you benefit from streamlined treatment and reduced overall costs. Additionally, this approach can shorten your total recovery time as the implant heals and fuses with the jaw during the natural healing process.
The cost of your same-day dental implant surgery will depend on various factors, including the number of teeth being replaced and extracted, your preferred anesthesia method, your insurance coverage, and the need for any bone grafts. During your consultation appointment, our experienced staff will thoroughly discuss these factors with you and provide a comprehensive cost estimate upfront.
