English Imagine if getting an oil change took two separate visits. During the first visit, the mechanics would drain the remaining oil, preparing your car for the oil change. Then, a month later, you would return for them to replace the filter and add the new oil. What could be a simple, half-hour process would turn into a month-long annoyance with a practically unusable car! The same can be said for a dental extraction and tooth replacement, as many believe that an extraction site requires ample healing time before placing a dental implant. While this is true in some cases, it’s certainly not the case for all patients. At Fine Dental Care, we often perform your extraction and implant placement on the same day!
Introducing Mini Implants
Implantes dentales are titanium posts we secure in your jawbone to replace missing teeth. While traditional restorations like puentes y dentaduras replace teeth, they often lack the stability that implants provide.
Because titanium is a biocompatible material, dental implants bond with the bone over time through a process known as osseointegration. This process secures the implant in your jawbone, creating an incredibly strong connection!
However, conventional dental implants are large and require a sufficient jawbone structure to stabilize. Most patients lack the necessary bone, as missing teeth are a direct cause of jawbone loss. This is even more true after an extraction, which causes your bone to lose mass and volume over time.
Fortunately, Fine Dental Care also utilizes miniimplantes dentales, which secure even in minimal bone!
These implants are less than 3 mm in diameter, requiring much less bone structure for support. Additionally, we use a minimally invasive placement procedure to secure mini implants, which allows for less bone disturbance and faster healing!
How Same Day Extraction and Implant Placement Works
At Fine Dental Care, we aim to save your natural teeth whenever possible. However, some teeth may need to be extracted to protect your oral health! Whether it be due to decay, disease, or dental trauma, tooth extraction is a procedure that helps to preserve your quality of life.
The Extraction Process
Using a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable, we will gently remove your tooth from its socket. If your tooth is more difficult to access, we may have to use a more surgical approach or break your tooth into more accessible pieces.
Regardless of the extraction process, we aim to make you as comfortable as possible. While it’s common to feel some pain or discomfort after extractions, it’s easily manageable with over-the-counter pain medications.
The Implant Placement
After an extraction, however, you will need a tooth replacement. Leaving gaps in your smile for a long period of time causes difficulties with chewing, misalignments, and bone loss! Fortunately, we offer dental implant placement to restore your smile, even the same day!
While not everyone is eligible for same day extraction and implant placement, we find that most pacientes como tú are eligible with mini implants! Because these titanium posts require less bone for support, we’re able to place them after an extraction more often than not.
Typically, after an extraction, we will place injerto óseo material meant to facilitate bone growth in your empty socket. Then, we secure a mini implant in your bone, which helps to stimulate the bone grafting material. Over time, your implant will help strengthen your bone, creating a strong and reliable foundation for your implant!
However, it is important to note that same day extraction and implant placement isn’t right for everyone, even with mini implants. If your bone loss is severe, you may require a healing period of at least 2 months before your bone is solid enough.
