Same-day teeth in Miami

• Before. Your plan is made on a 3D CBCT scan taken here in the office, so every implant position is decided in advance.
• Surgery. Any remaining teeth are removed and the implants are placed, with local anesthesia alone, oral sedation or IV sedation — your choice with Dr. Rodriguez.
• Your teeth. Before you go home, fixed provisional teeth are screwed onto the implants.
• Home. With any sedation, someone drives you home and stays with you for the rest of the day.

The implants bond with the bone over the following months — usually one to six, depending on your bone and how you heal. You keep to soft foods, avoid hard, crunchy and sticky foods that can chip the provisional, and come in for check-ups. All-on-4 recovery walks through it.

Once the implants have healed, the provisional is replaced with your final bridge: zirconia on a titanium bar, designed with our in-house ceramist and fitted to your face and your bite. Zirconia or acrylic explains why we use zirconia.

Same-day teeth is for people missing most or all of the teeth in an arch, with teeth that are failing or loose from gum disease, or with a denture that no longer works. Many people who were told they don't have enough bone are still candidates once the 3D scan shows where the bone is. Read told you don't have enough bone?

The total depends on one arch or two, four implants or six, how many teeth come out, any grafting, and the sedation you choose. After your free consultation you get a written plan with the total. What affects the cost of full-arch implants explains each factor. Many patients spread the cost with financing:
