New Smile in 24h. Truth or Myth?
In recent years, technological advances have revolutionized Dentistry, particularly in the field of dental implants. The placement of implants and immediate rehabilitation with fixed prostheses, aimed at restoring aesthetics and function in a precise, comfortable, and predictable manner, reflects the innovation and development of new protocols designed to optimize oral rehabilitation and provide a new smile.
Dental implants can be considered in different situations, from the lack of just one tooth to the complete absence of teeth. Both immediate load treatments (same-day teeth) and conventional implants (standard approach) can be successfully performed, despite different techniques and indications.
The procedure is similar to the conventional protocol. In the first phase, the treatment plan is designed based on an initial assessment complemented by all the necessary diagnostic exams to analyze, for example, bone availability and determine whether the patient meets the necessary conditions for this type of rehabilitation. After the planning, the surgical procedure to place the dental implants is carried out.
Once all necessary adjustments are made, the prosthesis will be screwed onto the implants, providing a fixed rehabilitation, as intended. For approximately six months, this is used as a provisional prosthesis while osseointegration occurs, and then it is replaced with a definitive prosthesis.
A new smile, quality of life, and function through this fixed, fast, and lasting solution are possible, but it is important to remember that implants and prostheses also require hygiene care, and periodic consultations are essential for their maintenance.
