Can You Get Teeth in a Day After an Extraction? [Video Q&A]

So you’re missing one, some, or all of your teeth, and a few more need to be extracted before dental implants can be placed. Maybe you’ve heard that mini dental implants allow for “teeth in a day,” also called same-day dental implants. These terms refer to placing a temporary tooth replacement the same day as the implant. You might wonder: Is teeth in a day possible after extraction? The answer is yes, in most cases!

Mini dental implants are so gentle on the surrounding tissue that, even after extraction, Dr. Magno can place a temporary crown, bridge, or denture right away. There’s no need to wait any longer to complete your smile.

What Are Teeth in a Day?

Teeth in a day refers to when Dr. Magno places a dental implant, followed immediately by a temporary replacement. Same-day results are made possible because of the difference mini dental implants make in the tooth replacement process.

Replacing missing teeth with conventional dental implants is a drawn-out process due to the implant’s larger, two-piece design. To place conventional implants, a dentist needs to make a large surgical incision, lift the flap of the gums, and then screw the implant into place. After waiting several months for the gums and bone to heal, they can attach the abutment to the implant. Finally, after another few weeks of waiting, you can come in for the final restoration.

That’s a lot of steps to reach the finish line, and based on Dr. Magno’s experience with implants, she thinks it’s better to reach the finish line faster whenever possible. That’s why she chooses mini dental implants to support same-day results at her practice.

Mini implants create the opportunity for same-day results because of their small, one-piece design. To place mini implants, Dr. Magno only needs to make a tiny opening in the gums and gently guide the smaller implants into position. The process is so easy on the surrounding tissue that she can secure a temporary crown, bridge, or denture right after! You will leave the office with a temporary restoration that looks beautiful.

Are Same-Day Dental Implants Possible After Extraction?

If you know you’ll need some teeth pulled before you can have implants placed, you likely want to know if same-day results are in the cards for you. Even if you need an extraction, teeth in a day are possible. Here’s how Dr. Magno achieves it.

First, she performs any extractions your mouth needs. Next, she places small bone grafts into the remaining socket. This is especially important for patients over 60, because bone healing can take longer in older patients. The graft helps regenerate the bone.

Once the graft is in place, Dr. Magno places the mini implant or implants on the same day. She immediately places a temporary prosthetic while you wait for the implant to integrate with the bone, and while the permanent crown, bridge, or denture is being crafted in the lab. This waiting period can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a few months. Dr. Magno will check how you’re healing, and if everything looks good, she can place the permanent crown afterward.

Mini implants make the implant placement process simple, even when you need teeth extracted as part of the process!
