What are Same Day Teeth
Many companies have coined terms to help market their dental implants systems. One of the largest implant manufacturers “Nobel Biocare” adopted the term Same Day Teeth to promote a faster treatment process and to attract patients deterred by the long treatment times with conventional implant protocols.
Almost all implant companies have versions of this concept.
This type of treatment is most successful in the lower jaw where bone quality and quantity is more ideal. Remaining teeth are extracted and 4-5 implants placed after bone modification and preparation. An immediate bridge is secured to these implants and adjusted evenly into the bite. More commonly this ‘temporary bridge’ is delivered the next day.
The implants are allowed to heal and fuse for approximately 3-4 months allowing the dentist to confirm their success before committing to the more expensive final restoration
