Immediate Load Dental Implants: A More Convenient Solution

Immediate load dental implants, also known as same-day implants, allow for the placement of a temporary crown or bridge immediately after the implant is inserted. This eliminates the need for multiple appointments and significantly reduces the healing time associated with traditional dental implant procedures.

• Faster Restoration: Immediate load implants allow you to leave the dental office with a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing temporary restoration, providing immediate improvements to your smile and function.
• Reduced Healing Time: Traditional dental implants require multiple appointments and several months of healing before a permanent restoration can be placed. Immediate load implants significantly reduce this waiting period.
• Improved Convenience: The ability to leave the office with a temporary restoration can be more convenient and less disruptive to your daily life.

Not everyone is a suitable candidate for immediate load dental implants. Your Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon will carefully evaluate your oral health and jawbone density to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure.

• The condition of your jawbone: You must have sufficient jawbone density to support the implant.
• The type of implant: Certain types of implants may be more suitable for immediate loading than others.
• Your overall health: Good overall health is important for successful dental implant placement and healing.

The procedure for immediate load dental implants is similar to traditional dental implant surgery. However, the placement of the temporary restoration immediately after implant insertion is the key difference.

1. Consultation: Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine if you are a suitable candidate for immediate load implants.
2. Extraction (if necessary): If you have a severely damaged or infected tooth, it may need to be extracted before the implant can be placed.
3. Implant Placement: The implant will be inserted into the jawbone.
4. Temporary Restoration: A temporary crown or bridge will be placed on top of the implant immediately after insertion.
5. Healing Period: Your jawbone will need time to heal around the implant. This typically takes several months.
6. Permanent Restoration: Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, a permanent restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) can be placed.
