If you’re missing teeth and looking for a quick solution, one-day dental implants might make you smile. At Hampton Dental Associates, Dr. Richard Winter and our experienced team in Milwaukee, WI, are proud to provide innovative treatment options to help our patients reclaim their smiles. Dr. Winter is board-certified by the American Board of Oral Implantologists/Implant Dentists. He has other implant certifications as well.
In his constant quest to provide our patients with the latest technology and most convenient treatment options, Dr. Winter offers one-day dental implants in our Milwaukee office. Here’s what to know about this leading-edge treatment.
Understanding One-Day Dental Implants
One-day dental implants are a revolutionary procedure that enables you to replace missing teeth in a single appointment. Traditionally, getting dental implants involves multiple visits over at least a few months. However, with one-day implants, you can walk into our office with missing teeth and leave with a smile – in less than 24 hours. These teeth in a day are temporary teeth and will need to be replaced with a porcelain or Zirconia prosthetic later.
The process begins with a detailed consultation where we have a 3D scan of your mouth taken to create a precise plan for your implant placement. Dr. Winter places the dental implants directly into your jawbone during your appointment and attaches the new teeth immediately. This eliminates the months of waiting for the implants to fuse with the bone, allowing you to enjoy your new smile immediately.
Who Is a Candidate for One-Day Implants?
While one-day implants offer incredible convenience, they’re best suited for certain patients. Your jawbone must have sufficient density and strength to hold the implants in place. In cases where the bone isn’t strong enough, we might recommend alternative treatments, for example, dentures, or a traditional implant procedure and bone grafting, to give you the best results.
What to Expect During and After the Procedure
You receive general anesthesia for the one-day implant procedure provided by an anesthesiologist, ensuring your comfort throughout. After Dr. Winter places your implants, you might experience some tenderness, but this usually responds well to over-the-counter pain relievers. We provide post-operative instructions, including a soft diet and gentle oral hygiene practices, to ensure your implants heal properly. Most patients return to their regular routines (and light activity) within a few days.
