Nobel Biocare™ dental implants are among the most recognised worldwide, based on 65 years of research and scientific studies. But more than that, Nobel Biocare implants are the first implants to form the basis of the "Fixed Teeth in a Day" protocol.

This is a treatment that allows you to leave the clinic with a fully functional smile in just 24 hours, even if you suffer from total edentulism or severe bone atrophy.

Thanks to Nobel Biocare implants and the "Fixed Teeth in a Day" protocol, there is no longer a need for months of waiting, repeated visits or uncomfortable temporary solutions.

In this article, we will find out what the advantages of Nobel Biocare implants are compared to other types of implants, but also why these implants are an optimal solution for enjoying fixed teeth in 24 hours at DENT ESTET clinics.

Dental implantology, as we know it today, has its roots in a revolutionary discovery in the 1950s. Swedish professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark observed that bone can integrate perfectly with titanium, a phenomenon he called osseointegration. In 1965, he placed the world's first titanium dental implant, laying the foundation for an industry that would change the lives of millions of people.

Nobel Biocare, the company that supported and developed this discovery, is now a global leader in implantology, with over 65 years of continuous innovation. The concept of "Fixed teeth in one day" is the natural evolution of this vision: the chance for a complete, fast and uncompromising smile for those facing missing or irrecoverable teeth.

Today, Nobel Biocare dental implants stand out for the way their surface is treated, thanks to two innovative technologies, Xeal and TiUltra, which give them a premium position in the global implantology market.

Thanks to these technologies, Nobel Biocare implants allow osseointegration even in difficult cases, as well as gum adhesion to the area where the implant meets the dental crown, creating additional protection.

Same-day fixed teeth treatment refers to the procedure whereby you can leave the dental office with a temporary fixed dental restoration, even if you are facing serious dental problems, such as total edentulism or teeth that are beyond repair due to periodontal disease.

Depending on the clinical recommendation, you can enjoy fixed teeth within 24-48 hours of the implant placement surgery, which will help you regain your confidence and integrate socially much more easily.

If you are wondering how it is possible to go home with fixed teeth on the same day, we can tell you that at DENT ESTET the procedure follows well-defined steps, which transform digital planning into your new smile," explains Dr Horațiu Dobre, specialist in dento-alveolar surgery.  

Here's what happens from the first consultation to the fitting of temporary teeth.

• Following the consultation with the specialist surgeon, he will establish the diagnosis, which may involve multiple tooth extractions due to functionally irrecoverable teeth.
• After performing the necessary radiological investigations, namely panoramic radiography, CBCT computed tomography and digital impressioning, the actual surgical intervention follows.
• The procedure is performed after a set of blood tests carried out no more than 30 days before the procedure.
• On the day of the procedure, the necessary tooth extractions will be performed, and the surgeon will quickly insert the dental implants using the surgical guide.
• If optimal primary stability has been ensured, the temporary fixed prosthesis can be fixed, i.e. the fixed teeth that allow for proper chewing and the chance for a normal life.

How quickly you can have fixed teeth in one day depends on several factors, such as:

• your overall health
• the quality and quantity of available bone
• the need for bone augmentation procedures
• the type of implants used

"The modern technologies available at DENT ESTET clinics allow us to accurately determine, on the one hand, whether the alveolar bone allows for the Fixed Teeth in 24 Hours procedure. On the other hand, we can measure with micron precision whether the implant is stable immediately after insertion. This primary stability tells us whether we can fit temporary teeth on the same day or whether we need to wait a few weeks until the osseointegration process is complete," explains Dr Horațiu Dobre, specialist in dento-alveolar surgery.

Nobel Biocare premium implants have a hydrophilic surface that attracts blood cells and facilitates rapid integration into the bone. Basically, the bone "grips" the implant faster and more firmly, which means more predictable results and long-term success.

Nobel Biocare dental implants have numerous competitive advantages, which is why they are among the most renowned worldwide today.

Here are the main advantages, depending on the type of implant:

Immediate stability and maximum comfort

Each type of Nobel Biocare implant is designed for maximum stability:

• NobelReplace® CC – The conical body and sealed internal conical connection provide high primary stability even in cases of soft bone. The 98.9% survival rate at 3 years confirms the reliability of this system.
• NobelParallel™ – Versatile system that provides excellent stability in both soft and dense bone. It can be loaded immediately with a dental crown, offering rapid functionality.
• NobelPearl™ – 100% metal-free zirconia implant with a strong connection that does not require cementing and prevents bacterial plaque build-up at the gum line.

Practical benefits for you:

• Surgery is simplified by protocols specific to each bone type
• Reduced post-operative discomfort, no movement or instability
• In most cases, you can receive temporary teeth on the same day

Rapid osseointegration

The speed of the osseointegration process is clinically proven by long-term studies. With over 65 years of experience and continuous innovation, Nobel Biocare is the global leader in dental implantology, building on Per-Ingvar Brånemark's revolutionary discovery of osseointegration.

TiUltra and Xeal technologies accelerate the bone integration process by creating a molecularly active surface that attracts and stimulates bone cells to attach to the implant more quickly.

Clinical studies show:

• 98.9% survival rate at 3 years for NobelReplace® CC implants
• High primary stability even in cases of soft bone, where other implants would require prolonged healing periods
• The possibility of immediate loading of NobelParallel™ implants with a dental crown, ensuring functionality on the same day

In practice, rapid osseointegration means:

• You can receive functional temporary teeth in 24 hours, not after 3-6 months
• The total treatment time is significantly reduced, which is essential for patients living abroad
• The risk of failure is minimal due to rapid and solid integration into the bone
• The transition from temporary to permanent teeth is made without long waiting periods

For the All-on-4® dental implant system, rapid osseointegration is fundamental: it allows a complete fixed structure to be mounted on just 4 implants on the same day, providing patients with total edentulism with fixed teeth in 24 hours and the chance to return to normal life immediately after the procedure.

Rapid aesthetic restoration

With Nobel Biocare implants, you don't have to wait months with an incomplete smile.

Advanced technologies such as NobelActive® and All-on-4® allow functional dentures to be fixed in record time.

In addition, implants such as NobelReplace® CC, NobelParallel™ and NobelPearl™ offer superior aesthetics thanks to special features:

• The gum moulds naturally around the implant
• Compatibility with CAD/CAM prosthetic options for maximum precision
• Significant improvement in soft tissue health
• NobelPearl™ is ideal for the front area, where aesthetics are essential
• The white colour of zirconia is not visible through the gum

Long-lasting results and proven reliability

Every Nobel Biocare implant benefits from over 65 years of scientific research and millions of successful clinical cases worldwide.

For the NobelReplace® CC implant, the survival rate demonstrated by studies is 98.9% at 3 years. This type of implant, like NobelParallel™ or NobelPearl™, is biocompatible, allowing for optimal integration into the body. 

Frequently asked questions about the procedure Fixed teeth in one day

How long does the procedure take from consultation to fixed teeth? 

If medical factors allow this procedure, it takes a few days from the consultation to the actual procedure.

Is the implant procedure painful? 

The dental implant insertion procedure is not painful. The only time when slight discomfort may be felt is after the operation, during the period when the gums heal and the bone conforms.

Who can benefit from "fixed teeth in a day"? 

This treatment is recommended for people who are completely edentulous or whose teeth are compromised due to severe caries or periodontal disease.

What are the possible risks or complications? 

The Fixed Teeth in One Day procedure involves minimal risks, depending on the patient's health, but with proper preoperative preparation and adherence to a well-established surgical protocol, we can limit any possible inflammatory or infectious complications.

How long does it take for fixed teeth to be fully functional? 

The fixed teeth from the day of the procedure are temporary, and the patient must follow a soft food diet for approximately 6 months. During this time, the osseointegration process is completed, allowing the permanent fixed work to be fixed and a normal lifestyle to be resumed without restrictions.
