Same Day Smiles in South Africa
Same day smiles in South Africa are also known as all on 4s or immediate load implants and are completed in a single visit.
Imagine walking into a dental practice in need of major restorative work and walking out a few hours later with a new full set of teeth and a beautiful smile. Sound too good to be true? The good news is, thanks to the ever-evolving digital dental era “teeth in one day “ can now be a reality.
Most patients will have to see their dental specialist in 3 visits.
- Once for a consultation
- Once for surgery
- And final, a follow-up.
The implantation process is completed in a single visit. The dental specialist can achieve a full set of teeth supported by dental implants during this visit.
How does Same Day Smiles work?
At your first consult for your same day smile, your dentist will examine your teeth. A CBCT scan will determine if you have sufficient bone density in your jaw to have an implant placed. Using the Digital Smile Design system, your dentist can show you the before and after the transition of your teeth.
If you are an eligible candidate for dental implants your dentist will plan your treatment and provide you with a detailed quotation. Your implant surgery is done using a digitally guided implant placement technique. Each implant is placed at a precise angle to maximize the use of available bone to support and securely fix the dental bridge.
Same day smiles include 4 – 6 implants are placed on the upper jaw and 4 on the lower jaw. The same-day smile will involve the immediate placement of a temporary prosthesis (Dental bridge) onto the implants. The temporary prosthesis will be replaced with a permanent one in about 4 -5 months from the placement of the temporary ones.
Am I the right candidate?
- If you have sufficient bone density along your jawbone and dental arch.
- You should have healthy gums and be committed to avoiding tobacco products before treatment.
