Fast, stable tooth replacement or denture stabilization — often completed in a single visit.
Good to know: Your exact timeline depends on bone quality, bite, and the restoration being attached. Your dentist will confirm if same day placement is appropriate at your consultation.
How Same Day Minis Work
1) Plan – Exam and imaging (x-rays or 3D scan) map the best positions. Your dentist reviews goals, health history, and the number of posts recommended.
2) Place – Using minimally invasive techniques under local anesthesia, the mini implants are seated through tiny pilot sites — often with little to no suturing.
3) Attach – For single teeth, a temporary crown may be fitted; for dentures, retention housings are picked up chairside. You leave with immediate stability and home care instructions.
Who Qualifies for Same Day Minis?
- Healthy gums and adequate bone in the site
- Stable bite forces and good oral hygiene habits
- Non-smokers or committed to pre/post-op guidelines
- Existing denture in fair condition (for stabilization cases)
If additional preparation is needed, your dentist may still place minis — just not in a single visit.
Benefits of Same Day Minis
- Immediate stability for many cases
- Minimally invasive, typically little post-op discomfort
- Fewer appointments and faster confidence
- Great option for securing loose dentures
What to Expect on the Day of Treatment
- Arrival & review: Your plan is confirmed; any questions are answered. Local anesthesia is used for comfort.
2. Placement: Minis are placed through small pilot sites. Most patients report pressure, not sharp pain.
3. Attachment: A temporary crown or denture housings are connected chairside for immediate function as directed.
4. Home care: Written instructions cover cleaning, soft-food diet, and when to resume normal activities.
5. Follow-up: A short visit checks healing and retention; adjustments are made if needed.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Use recommended over-the-counter pain relief as directed.
- Stick to a soft-food diet for the period your dentist advises.
- Clean gently around the posts; resume normal brushing/flossing as instructed.
- Attend follow-ups to fine-tune bite and retention.
Report unusual pain, swelling, or looseness right away so your team can assist.
Same Day Minis vs. Other Options
- Vs. traditional implants: Minis are smaller and often allow immediate stabilization; traditional implants may require staged surgery and longer healing but can be preferred for certain full-arch reconstructions.
- Vs. adhesives or relines: Minis provide mechanical retention for dentures, reducing slipping and sore spots.
- Vs. doing nothing: Stabilizing a denture or replacing teeth can improve chewing, speech, and confidence.
Same Day Minis — FAQs
Is everyone a candidate for same day placement?
No. Most patients qualify, but your dentist will confirm bone quality, bite forces, and gum health first.
Will I leave with teeth that same day?
Many patients do. You may receive a temporary crown or have your denture picked up to the implants for immediate stability.
Does it hurt?
Placement is minimally invasive and done with local anesthesia. Mild soreness or pressure is common for a day or two.
How long do mini implants last?
With good care and regular checkups, minis can last for many years. Your dentist will tailor maintenance advice to your case.
