What Are Dental Implants?
Before we delve into the details of the one-day dental implant procedure, it’s important to explain what dental implants actually are. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They consist of three main components:
- Implant (Screw) – a titanium element that is inserted into the bone and serves as the tooth root.
- Abutment (Connector) – a link between the implant and the crown, bridge, or denture.
- Dental Crown – the upper part of the implant that mimics a natural tooth.
Dental implants are the most advanced solution for treating missing teeth because they are durable, aesthetic, and functional. At Vivadental Clinic in Gdańsk, implants are placed by Dr. Violetta Szycik, a specialist with over 35 years of experience in implantology and a leader in implantological skills in Poland. With these implants, patients can enjoy a natural-looking smile and full chewing functionality. However, the traditional implant placement process required multiple visits and a long waiting time for the completion of treatment, which was not always convenient for patients.
Dr n. med. Violetta Szycik – Distinguished Specialist in Dental Surgery
A graduate of the Medical Academy in Gdańsk, with first and second degree specialization in dental surgery and a doctoral degree in implantology, Dr. Violetta Szycik is the author of numerous scientific publications and articles. She is also a lecturer at international and national scientific congresses. With over 25 years of experience in implantology, she is considered one of the pioneers of implantology in Poland. She has performed many groundbreaking implantological procedures in Poland and Europe, based on innovative technological and pharmacological solutions, including edentulous jaw and mandible implantation with immediate prosthetic restoration.
Dr. Szycik carried out the first stem cell transplant in Poland and the second in the world, using adipose-derived stem cells in a simultaneous bone reconstruction procedure for the jaw and mandible in individuals affected by oligodontia, a congenital condition involving the absence of multiple permanent teeth buds.
She holds one of the few OSIS-EDI certificates in Poland, as well as the certification from the Polish Society of Dental Implantology and the European Association of Dental Implantology – recognized as a Leader in Implantological Skills. These certifications confirm her highest level of qualification in the field of dental implantology. Additionally, she is accredited to conduct postgraduate training for dentists in implantology and related disciplines and is authorized by the Ministry of Health to conduct postgraduate training in dental surgery.

Dental Implants in One Day – A Revolution in Treating Missing Teeth
Dental implants in one day offer a solution that allows patients to restore their teeth more quickly and conveniently. Thanks to advanced experience and precise surgical methods, it is possible to place implants and fit a temporary prosthetic restoration in just a few hours. All procedures take place in a single visit, eliminating the need for long months of waiting for the full treatment result.
How is this possible? Experience and precision allow for the simultaneous execution of several key stages of the treatment process that were previously spread across multiple visits. By using advanced diagnostic equipment, such as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), the doctor can precisely plan the placement of the implant and assess the patient’s bone condition. This enables accurate implant fitting and minimizes the risk of complications.
Summary
One-day dental implants are a groundbreaking solution that is changing the way missing teeth are treated. Thanks to modern technology and precise surgical methods, patients can enjoy a full smile and normal dental functionality after just one visit. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and the results are long-lasting. Additionally, with the use of analgosedation at Vivadental Clinic in Gdańsk, patients can undergo the procedure in complete comfort, making the entire process even more comfortable and safe.
