How Mini Implants Make Same Day Teeth Replacement Possible [Video Explanation]

Same day teeth replacement may sound futuristic, but the technology is already here! While traditional dental implants take multiple appointments and months of healing, Healthy Habit Dental Care offers a much faster alternative. At our office, we often use mini dental implants to replace missing teeth in just one day. The same day that we place your implants, we can place a temporary, or even final, restoration to restore your smile. To learn if you’re eligible for same day teeth replacement with mini implants, book a free consultation with us in Temecula, CA.

The Same Day Teeth Process in Temecula, CA

The same day teeth replacement process is simple.

Free Consultation

All treatments in our office begin with a free consultation. There, we’ll review your medical history, assess your smile, and take a 3D digital X-ray of your jawbone. This image allows us to examine your bone in detail and determine if you have enough jawbone material to support a dental implant.

Thankfully, mini dental implants are quite small, so they don’t require as much bone as a traditional implant. While some patients with bone loss may have struggled to support traditional implants, mini implants give them a safer alternative that is just as effective!

Once we determine you’re eligible for implant treatment, we’ll design your case. Then, we’ll schedule your placement appointment.

Minimally Invasive Implant Process

At your procedural appointment, we’ll use a local anesthetic to numb your smile. Once you’re comfortable, we’ll simply create a small pilot hole in your jaw and place your implants inside. This minimally invasive process allows the implant to begin integrating with your jawbone immediately.

Upon placement, mini implants are strong enough to support a temporary dental bridge or denture, replacing multiple missing teeth. And for patients who only need one tooth replaced, we can secure a final crown that very same day!

Same Day Tooth Replacement

Healthy Habit Dental uses a state-of-the-art CEREC machine. The machine is capable of both designing and milling a custom-crafted crown out of durable ceramic, with an opening to fit over your implant.

In just one appointment, we’ll place a titanium post in your jaw and secure a crown on top to fill the gap in your smile with a natural-looking and functional solution.

Are You Eligible for Same Day Teeth With Mini Implants?

However, it’s important to note that not everyone is eligible for same day teeth replacement or mini implants.

To secure dental implants, patients need ample jawbone. And while mini implants need significantly less bone material than traditional implants, there are some cases where a patient may not have enough bone for a mini implant. Additionally, these small-diameter implants require relatively dense bone. Patients with softer bone material in their jaw may not be eligible for mini implant treatment either.

Another group of patients that may struggle to support dental implants are those who are immunocompromised.

Dental implant treatment is an oral surgery that involves healing. While mini implants require less healing, immunocompromised patients may still recover more slowly. And for patients with conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, we’ll need to get your condition under control before trying implant treatment.

Finally, chronic smokers may struggle with implant treatment. Nicotine restricts blood flow, lowers oxygen levels, and weakens your immune system. But for an implant to fuse to your jaw, all three of these components are essential. Patients who smoke often experience a higher risk of infection and failure rates when it comes to dental implant treatment.

During your free consultation, we will discuss these issues and confirm you’re a good candidate for implants. In most cases, we find patients are candidates for mini dental implants, but to make an informed decision, we encourage patients to give us a call and schedule an appointment.
