A New 'Tooth in a Day'
If systemic values are alright then it will Depend on Your Bone Health..
Getting a tooth by dental implant, it can be a long process in getting one. Several weeks require between removing the old tooth and placing the implant, and then several more days before affixing the permanent crown.
Recent advances in implant technology allow some patients for a procedure commonly known as "tooth in one day," provides patients to walk in with a problem tooth and out the same day with a new "one."
Bone loss is a common consequence of missing teeth or dental disease, can reduce bone volume to less than what's needed to place an implant, but, if your supporting bone is sound, your dentist might then proceed with the implant. Then you will still have to wait till it integrate with the bone to improve its hold. This integration process can take anywhere from a minimum of six weeks to more commonly twelve weeks. After that the dentist may need to undo the gum covering before taking impressions for the formation of the new crown.
But is it possible to have a tooth or teeth in a day!!
For a single tooth, your dentist may be able to immediately attach a crown (temporary) right after implant surgery if the implant is very stable. You'll receive your permanent crown shortly after complete intergration.
Immediate crown placement can allow you to have the cosmetic and limited functional benefit of a new tooth right from the start. If multiple implants are placed in one arch in a day, it's possible to have immediate teeth if enough implants are attached together with a temporary restoration. This way Complete set of teeth (Complete denture) can also be given.
This is different from a single implant replacing a single tooth and does create confusion for patients when they read about teeth in a day. Regardless, no final tooth crown can be placed at the time of an implant—only a temporary restoration.
