Missing teeth not only cause difficulties in chewing and eating, but also affect the aesthetic appearance. Tooth loss can be treated in many different ways, but implant treatments are often and safely preferred due to their various advantages. Although implant treatments are generally thought to take a long time, when appropriate conditions are provided, aesthetic and functional needs can be met on the same day with implant treatment and temporary fixed prostheses.

What is a One Day Implant (Same Day Implant)?

One-day implant or fast and fixed implant technique is a treatment technique that allows tooth extraction, implant and temporary fixed prosthesis to be performed on the same day for patients who need all their teeth extracted or who have lost all their teeth. Since implants are placed at an angle to the area where the back teeth are located, it is possible to perform all procedures on the same day, thus eliminating the need for additional surgeries. With the placement of implants in a single session, a new smile design can be easily achieved even in cases where tooth extraction is required in one day.

What are the advantages of the One Day Implant (Same Day Implant) Technique?

Since most of the treatment is completed in a single day, treatment planning becomes easier for people with limited time. Since both aesthetic and functional expectations can be met in a single day, the treatment process progresses more positively psychologically and returning to social life becomes much easier. Additional surgical procedures are not required to correct bone deficiencies in some areas where teeth are missing, so tooth deficiencies are quickly and healthily corrected.

When Can the One Day Implant Technique Be Applied?

Oral care must be provided before implant planning with fast and fixed technique. Oral hygiene is brought to the ideal level before the procedures and if tooth extraction is planned, the extraction sockets are disinfected and then fast and fixed technique is continued. Before planning, the entire process progress and the necessary equipment to be used are evaluated. Fixed prostheses should be prepared by consulting with the laboratories and technical team where the prostheses will be made. Implant technique can be safely applied in 1 day to people who have lost all their teeth or who are determined to have all their teeth extracted.

How is Treatment Performed with the One Day Implant Technique?

The suitability of the person for treatment with fast and fixed technique is evaluated with the first clinical examination and x-rays taken at that time. First of all, it is aimed to eliminate existing infections or inadequate oral hygiene. Then, a personalized prosthesis design is made and the support areas where these prostheses will be applied are planned. In order to determine these areas, the locations and sizes of the implants are decided in detail with 3D imaging and digital measurements. After all the planning and preparation of the prostheses, the procedures are started. Before the procedure, the areas where the tooth extractions and implants will be applied are numbed with local anesthetics. Under suitable conditions, all procedures can be performed with sedation or general anesthesia depending on the person’s preference. If tooth extractions are planned, these procedures are completed first and then the extraction spaces are cleaned and made ready for implant application. Gaps are created for the implants to be applied to the previously determined places in the jawbone and the implants are placed in these gaps. Then, the temporary fixed prostheses made on these implants are adjusted and the first stage of the treatment is completed on the same day. It is necessary to use these temporary fixed prostheses and implants for a while. During this process, by avoiding high forces and regular oral care, the tissue connection of the implants is preserved and suitable conditions are provided for permanent fixed prostheses. During this process, where the desired bone fusion is achieved, the presence of fixed prostheses specially designed for the person in the mouth allows easy return to social life on the same day and at the same time tissue healing is supported. After bone fusion is achieved, the second stage is passed and temporary dental prostheses are removed, the fixed and permanent prostheses are tried on and the process is completed by fixing them on the implants.

What Should Be Considered After One Day Implant (Same Day Implant) Treatment Is Completed?

In order for implants to have a long life, it is very important to maintain oral hygiene as recommended after the procedures. In addition, avoiding harmful forces in the process after the fast and fixed application allows the operations to continue healthily as planned. Therefore, attention should be paid to the recommended food intake, and hard and sticky foods should be avoided for a while. After permanent fixed prostheses are applied, maintenance of the implants and prostheses is provided with control appointments and various applications are made for their long life. In this way, possible damage or undesirable situations are detected early and necessary interventions are made before permanent problems occur.
