Project Description
Immediate placement
Tooth extraction followed by immediate implant placement is now a reliable option. This treatment is ideal for patients who want to avoid further bone loss and reduce surgery time and expenses.
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once in place, they tend to fuse with the jawbone and encourage the growth of new bone tissue. Unlike conventional dentures and bridges, dental implants restore your biting and chewing power to its full potential and look and feel just like your natural teeth.
Implants are a safe and effective treatment for patients who wish to replace their missing teeth permanently. Much like natural teeth, dental implants will last for as long as take good care of them.
In some cases, dentists can remove a failing tooth, fix a dental implant into place on the same day and restore the dental implant with a crown or other restoration on the same day. This way, patients don’t have to wait for long periods for the bone to heal, before they have their restorations placed on top of their dental implants.
Immediate placement and loading of dental implants is a new procedure in implant dentistry and does not apply to all patients. To be eligible you need to have sufficient bone to ensure implant stability, good health, and a lack of habits such as smoking.
Immediate implants are ideal for single tooth replacements, especially for patients who have lost or broken a tooth due to an accident or trauma. The procedure is quite simple and our dental team will give you instructions on how to look after your implant.
