Same day Implants: Teeth Express in Stone Mountain, GA

Consultation and 3D Scan:

• Before the same-day implant procedure, you'll have a consultation with your dentist.

• During this consultation, a 3D scan of your mouth will be taken to assess your dental health.

• The scan helps in planning the treatment by considering factors like sinus location, jawbone condition, and tooth socket status.

Preparation for Surgery:

• On the day of the implant surgery, you may receive a sedative to help you relax.

• Local anesthesia will be administered to ensure you feel no pain during the procedure.
• If there are teeth that need extraction, your dentist will perform this step before proceeding with the implant placement.

Implant Placement Procedure:

• The dentist will drill holes into the jawbone where the implants are to be placed.

• After placing the implants, the incision site will be stitched up to facilitate healing.

• An abutment will be fitted onto the implant, connecting it to the new tooth.

Stability Assessment and Recommendations:

• If the implant is deemed unstable, the dentist may suggest leaving the abutment uncapped to allow for continued healing in the jawbone.

• Depending on the case, the dentist might recommend placing an overdenture over the abutment, to be replaced later.

Post-Procedure Care:

• Following the procedure, patients can usually resume normal activities, but they must adhere to specific dietary and oral hygiene guidelines.

• Avoid biting into hard or chewy foods during the initial healing phase.

• Regular follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor healing progress and ensure proper fitting of the implants with other teeth.

Each step in the same-day implant process is carefully executed to maximize success and minimize discomfort for the patient. From initial consultation to post-procedure care, thorough planning and attention to detail are essential for optimal outcomes.
