Read on to learn more, or contact us now to see if you’re a candidate for same-day implants.

Unique Technology To Provide Same-Day Treatment 

Thanks to our advanced technology such as 3D printers, CBCT 3D scanners, and intraoral cameras, we may be able to complete the first phase of the dental implant process in just a day. 

What To Expect From Treatment – The Same-Day Implant Process

First, you’ll need to consult with Dr. Kinard to determine if dental implants are right for you. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to get your implant right away, but most patients will need to come back later to get their same-day implant. 

Here’s what to expect once your procedure begins.

• Preparing and numbing the surgical site – To begin the process, your dentist will clean your mouth and numb the area. We also offer sedation to keep you comfortable.
• Placing your dental implant – Your dentist will make a small opening in your gum and jaw tissue, based on your surgical treatment plan. A small piece of titanium will be placed into the opening.
• Crafting your temporary crown – We’ll take detailed scans of your teeth and provide you with a comfortable temporary crown that looks and feels just like a real tooth.
• Crown placement – Once your final crown has been built, it will be placed onto the abutment (connector piece of the implant) to restore your tooth and your smile. Then, you’ll be sent home with further instructions on how to recover.
• Follow-ups & future appointments – You’ll need to come back to Kinard Family Dental for a few follow-ups to check your healing progress. Once your mouth has fully healed, you’ll also need to come back to have your temporary crown replaced with a permanent crown.
