Common Questions About Same-Day Smile
What is a same-day smile?
A same-day smile is an innovative approach your dentist can use to restore your smile in just one visit. During your same-day smile treatment, we will extract any remaining teeth, insert the required number of implants, and secure a set of temporary teeth to them. Patients love this procedure because it allows them to never be without their teeth again.
Does insurance cover a same-day smile?
Your same-day smile treatment may be covered in part by your insurance plan. We recommend you check with them to see what is and is not covered. In addition, we'll gladly work with your insurance to maximize your benefits and reduce your out-of-pocket costs as much as possible. We want you to be able to get what you need for your smile.
What are the benefits of a same-day smile?
The biggest benefit of a same-day smile is receiving dental implants and a complete set of teeth in one appointment. Since fewer implants are used, the healing process is much faster. When your dentures are placed, they will feel and function just like natural teeth. If during our consultation we find that a same-day smile isn't right for you, we have other implant options that will give you back your teeth.
How is a same-day smile different from traditional dental implants?
A same-day smile uses fewer dental implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. Eight implants are often used for other kinds of dental implant dentures. This requires more implants, more surgery, and a longer overall timeline. A same-day smile process is faster, less invasive on the jaw, and more affordable than other implant procedures.
How long does a same-day smile procedure take?
Implant placement and temporary teeth attachment for a same-day smile procedure are completed in a single appointment. A second visit is needed once your implants have fully healed to place your final teeth and make any necessary adjustments. The timeline from your initial consultation to your final result is shorter than other full-mouth implant procedures, which can span many months.
Is a same-day smile painful?
A same-day smile isn't painful. The procedure is performed with local anesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout implant placement. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the appointment itself. Dental sedation is available if you are anxious about the procedure or want to feel more relaxed. Some soreness and mild swelling in the days following placement are normal and easy to manage.
Can I eat normally with a same-day smile?
You can eat with your temporary teeth on the day of your same-day smile procedure, but a soft diet is recommended during the healing period to protect the implants while they fuse with the jawbone. Once your final restoration is placed, you can return to eating a wide variety of foods comfortably. Your dentist will give you specific dietary guidance.
Am I a good candidate for a same-day smile?
Good candidates for a same-day smile are adults who are missing most or all of their teeth in one arch and have enough jawbone density to support implants. Overall health also plays a role in candidacy. During your initial consultation, your dentist will evaluate your bone structure, health history, and goals to determine whether this option is right for you.
