Are You a Candidate for Same-Day Implants? Restore Your Confidence Sooner! [Video Inside]

Perhaps you’ve heard from a dentist that dental implants can restore your smile, but only after months of healing, multiple visits, and in some cases, additional bone grafting. At Hazzouri Dental, we believe that every patient should know about the most advanced options for replacing missing teeth. Whether you’ve been missing teeth for years or you have a dental extraction scheduled, same-day implants are an option you should consider.

We offer mini dental implants to provide same-day results, so you don’t have to wait any longer for a beautiful, complete smile.

The Conventional Implant Process Timeline

Many dental practices only offer the conventional dental implant, a two-piece dental implant that is placed through a multiphase process. First, a dentist needs to insert the implant through a surgical technique called a flap procedure. This involves making a large incision in the gums to expose the bone underneath.

After this point, you’ll typically need to wait 3-6 months for the implant to osseointegrate into the bone and for the soft tissue to recover from the trauma. Once the bone and gums have healed, the dentist can screw the abutment on top.

You’ll need to wait several more weeks before the permanent crown, bridge, or denture can secure into the implant.

Because conventional dental implants are larger, patients may need bone grafting before they’re candidates for implants. This only extends the timeline before you’re able to smile with a complete set of teeth.

While this approach has proven effective over decades, in some cases, the advantages of the conventional route make it a suitable choice. However, patients often feel like the process is a serious time commitment. That’s why Dr. Albert Hazzouri Jr., Dr. Louis Genello, and Dr. Andrew Knott are excited about an option that sets Hazzouri Dental apart: same-day implants.

Why Same-Day Implants Are Possible in Scranton

Why are same-day dental implants possible, especially when other dentists have told you otherwise?

At Hazzouri Dental, we pride ourselves on staying current with the most cutting-edge solutions in dentistry. That’s why we offer mini dental implants. The mini dental implant is a much slimmer, single-piece implant that utilizes a more comfortable, less invasive placement process. By reducing the trauma to the surrounding tissues, we can often place a temporary crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration right on top immediately.

Instead of making a large surgical incision, our dentists only need to make a small opening in the gums. Then, we anchor the mini implant into the jawbone. We repeat this process if your treatment involves multiple implants. Immediately after, we place a beautiful, functional, temporary restoration. You’ll leave our office on the same day with a smile that looks complete and feels natural. In a few weeks, you’ll come back for the final replacement.

We are Scranton’s exclusive Mini Dental Implant Center of America, which makes us leaders in the art of same-day implant dentistry.

How Our Dentists Determine Candidacy for Same-Day Implants

Because of the difference mini implants make in the placement process, same-day dental implants work for most patients. Still, our dentists take the time and effort to ensure candidacy and plan your custom restoration. Our goal is to optimize your experience in our practice and ensure the results that follow last for years to come.

When we see you for a free, comprehensive consultation, we provide a thorough assessment. We use our CBCT machine to take a 3-D digital scan of your smile. This reveals exactly how much jawbone volume you have available for the mini implants. In most cases, even if you have lost a large volume of bone, we are still able to find enough room to position the mini implants.

In cases involving significant bone loss, we may recommend bone grafting prior to implant placement. However, we make these decisions based on what will perform best in your mouth over time.
