Immediate load dental implants
Immediate loading implantology, as the name suggests, refers to a method for quickly fixing a crown (a tooth that replaces a lost natural tooth) to an implant. It is usually necessary to wait for 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 immediate loading 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 time minimum by waiting for the restoration of clearly missing teeth. Moreover, 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.
The gums fit the crowns better: because the gums are placed directly on the implants, the gums adapt 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 test diagnostics, such as X-rays, CT scans, and images of the inside of your mouth. The results of these examinations give the specialist an overall, 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 also be local. The specialist will insert the implant post into the jawbone. This is a fairly quick step. He will then place the dental implant crown together. Your dentist will prescribe painkillers And ice packs to relieve 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 can 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. Immediate loading implants are a technique effective e functional, but it depends on the condition of the teeth.
