What Are One-Day Implant-Supported Dentures?
One-day implant-supported dentures, sometimes called “Teeth in a Day,” combine dental implants with custom-made dentures in a single procedure. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on your gums, these are anchored to dental implants surgically placed in your jawbone, providing significantly improved stability and function.
The procedure involves strategically securing four to six dental implants in your jaw. These implants function as a sturdy foundation for the custom denture, which is attached the same day. This immediate placement means you never have to go without teeth or deal with the slippage and discomfort often associated with traditional dentures.
How the Process Works
The one-day implant procedure begins with comprehensive planning using advanced imaging technology. This allows us to:
- Assess your bone structure and determine optimal implant placement
- Create a precise surgical guide for accurate implant positioning
- Design your custom dentures to match your facial structure and preferences
- Prepare the restoration for same-day delivery
With proper planning, the actual procedure can be completed in a single visit. Our in-office dental lab facilitates this efficiency by allowing immediate customization and adjustments to your new implant-supported dentures to ensure the most secure and comfortable fit possible.
Benefits of Choosing One-Day Implant-Supported Dentures
One-day implant-supported dentures offer several advantages over traditional dentures or conventional dental implants that require months of healing before placing the final restoration.
Immediate Results
The most obvious benefit of one-day implant-supported dentures is the speed of treatment. You’ll arrive at your appointment with missing or damaged teeth and leave with a complete, functioning set of secure teeth. This eliminates the uncomfortable transition period during which you might otherwise be without teeth or wearing temporary dentures.
Improved Stability and Function
Unlike traditional removable dentures that can shift, slip, or click when speaking or eating, implant-supported dentures are securely anchored to your jawbone. This provides exceptional stability, allowing you to experience the following advantages:
- Eat a wider variety of foods with ease
- Speak clearly without worrying about denture movement
- Smile naturally without fear of dentures slipping
- Avoid the discomfort of dentures rubbing against your gums
The implants effectively transfer chewing forces directly to your jawbone, similar to natural teeth. This means you can regain up to 90% of your natural chewing efficiency, compared to just 20-25% with conventional dentures.
Bone Preservation
One of the most significant long-term benefits of implant-supported dentures is the preservation of jawbone structure. When teeth are missing, the jawbone begins to break down due to a lack of stimulation from tooth roots. This can lead to facial collapse and an aged appearance over time.
Dental implants function like natural tooth roots, providing the necessary stimulation to maintain bone density. This helps support your facial structure and prevents the sunken appearance often associated with long-term denture wear.
Convenience and Comfort
Many implant-supported denture systems are designed to be either permanently fixed or easily removable for cleaning. This eliminates the daily hassle of adhesives and the discomfort often experienced with conventional dentures.
The stability of implant-supported dentures also means they can be designed with a more natural shape and less bulky palate coverage, enhancing your comfort and sense of taste.
Are You a Candidate for One-Day Implant-Supported Dentures?
Most adults with missing teeth can qualify for implant-supported dentures. However, ideal candidates should have the following characteristics:
- Sufficient jawbone density to support implants
- Good overall health and oral hygiene
- No uncontrolled medical conditions that might affect healing
- A desire for a more permanent tooth replacement solution
Even if you’ve been told you lack adequate bone volume for traditional implants, the strategic placement used in the one-day approach often allows us to work with existing bone, potentially avoiding bone graft procedures.
