How many dental implants can be placed in one day?

Dental implants are a treatment that we perform at Gross Dentistas to replace a tooth that is badly damaged or has already been lost with another one that simulates a natural tooth.

There are many cases where the root of the tooth was not strong enough to hold it, and that is why in these implants a titanium screw is used as a root. In our dental clinic in Malaga we use this material because it is very easy for our body to integrate and it lasts for many years.

But something that many of our patients ask is if and how many dental implants can be placed in one day, as some of them have damaged or lost several teeth. We will answer this question in detail below.

Can multiple dental implants be inserted in one day?

Thanks to the progress and evolution of dentistry, we can say that dental implants can be done in one day. This is something that could not be done before because you had to wait months until the implant was integrated into the bone to place a crown that simulates a natural tooth.

Now with immediate loading and the placement of a provisional crown, we can have our tooth already restored when we come out of the implant placement surgery, especially in anterior teeth.

Having addressed this issue, we will now explain how many dental implants can be placed in one day.

Get to know All On 4: the most advanced dental implants

All On 4 is the answer to how many dental implants can be placed in one day. This revolutionary technique allows four consecutive teeth to be placed in a single operation, restoring a complete set of teeth. All On 4 provides great stability to support a fixed prosthesis or an overdenture.

To place these implants we follow the following process:

• We take an X-ray of the jawbone to be able to see the width and height of the teeth we have to replace and the viability of the 4 implants.
• We apply local anaesthesia to perforate the bone and fit the titanium screws that will be the new root. For osseointegration to occur, which is the fusion of the bone with the implant material, between two and six months must pass.
• We place the abutments and, on these, the crowns.

These dental implants have some special features in their placement, such as the fact that we can take fixed prostheses home on the day of the operation and, when osseointegration has taken place, they will be exchanged for definitive prostheses. This is very useful because it will allow the patient to chew and speak normally from day one.

All On 4 implants can effectively be placed in one day. This surgery sometimes requires conscious sedation. It is a very minimally invasive solution to eradicate total edentulism.

Tips on how to properly care for your dental implants

Now that you know how many dental implants can be placed in one day, it is essential to learn how to take care of them so that they last a lifetime.

You should have annual maintenance at our dental clinic Gross Dentistas to prevent the appearance of problems in your implants. At home you also need to take good care of them, with proper tooth brushing after every meal and the use of a mouth irrigator that removes food debris that accumulates under the prosthesis.

This good care will extend the life of your implants, which usually last between 15 and 25 years.
