Immediate load dental implants
Immediate loading implantology, as the name suggests, refers to a method of quickly attaching a crown (a tooth that replaces a lost natural tooth) to an implant. Typically, it is necessary to wait about 72 hours.
Traditional dental implants restore teeth after 3-6 months. The disadvantage of this procedure is that the patient still has missing teeth or a removable denture.
An alternative to this procedure is an immediately loaded implant. New dental implants are placed in a much shorter time and can be subjected to masticatory loads without problems. However, the fabrication of a fixed prosthesis can take several days.
Benefits of immediate load implantology
Dental implants of this type offer many advantages if this method is suitable for the patient. First, there is the minimal waiting time for restoration of clearly missing teeth. Also, with this technology, patients only have to operate once instead of twice, and having new functional teeth on the same day is definitely a convenient option.
Gums fit the crowns better: because the gums are placed directly on the implants, the gums fit and grow, making the implants look like natural teeth
How it works in detail
How do you place an implant in one day? The first step is to visit your dentist-a consultation in which a specialist answers a series of questions to learn about your dental and medical history. Next, there are several diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, CT scans, and images of the inside of your mouth. The results of these tests give the specialist a general and complete picture of your dental situation and allow him or her to create models of your teeth.
Now the surgical phase of immediate loading implantology begins: first, anesthesia, which may be local. The specialist will insert the implant post into the jawbone. This is a fairly quick step. Then he will place the dental implant crown together. Your dentist will prescribe pain medication and ice packs to relieve the pain.
Immediate loading implantology: when is it possible?
If the bone density and thickness of the mandible and maxilla are adequate so that bone reconstruction is not necessary for implant placement, immediate loading will always benefit. In some cases, this technique may also be useful when bone reconstruction is needed to place an implant.
Before choosing this type of implant, your specialist will carefully evaluate your situation and determine whether you can benefit from it. Immediately loaded implants are an effective and functional technique, but it depends on the condition of your teeth.
If you have adequate mandibular and maxillary bone density and thickness and therefore no bone reconstruction is needed to place the implants, you can always benefit from immediate loading. In some cases you can benefit from this technique even if you need bone reconstruction for implant placement. Before choosing this type of implantology, our specialist will evaluate your situation thoroughly and decide whether you can benefit from it. Immediate loading implantology is an effective and functional technique, but it depends on the condition of your teeth. The bone will not heal properly if the condition is not suitable for immediate loading.
What are the advantages?
- Fixed teeth in 72 hours: smile again at friends and family and eat your favorite foods in company right away.

- Painless , no incisions and no scars: unlike traditional implants, computer-assisted surgery involves no cutting and no suturing of the gums to place the implants.
- Save time and money: immediate loading is much shorter than deferred loading implantology because the recovery time is almost instantaneous.
- It is ideal for diabetic and cardiovascular patients when performing computer-guided implantation, an implantation technique that does not require incisions or sutures.
