Immediate Replacement
Many people put off looking into tooth replacement options, including dental implants until they are missing teeth. You don’t need to wait until all of your teeth are lost to think about dental implants. An implant can immediately be placed into the fresh extraction socket site after the dentist has extracted the tooth on the day. This method serves as an immediate tooth replacement option. Immediate implant insertion is a practical tooth replacement option for individuals who are about to lose a tooth. One of the main benefits of having an immediate implant means you will be reducing the number of surgical procedures; rather than having your tooth extracted, waiting for it to heal and then having another surgery to place an implant. Nobody likes to lose their teeth, and immediate implants provide a rapid, dependable, less invasive and economical answer.
Following the extraction of one or more broken teeth, your immediate implants are positioned, placed and buried under the gum. A tooth will be placed on top of the implant at least 3 months after the day of surgery, as we need to wait for the implant to integrate into the bone before loading it with a tooth. After the day of surgery, you could have some localised swelling and pain for a few days after. This is a typical phase of recuperation, and painkillers might be administered if necessary.
Candidates for immediate implant placement are those with sufficient jawbone density, which the dentist can determine with our 3D X-ray at the time of consultation. It is essential that you have a consultation with one of our dentists first as they will inspect and evaluate your specific circumstances to assess whether you are a good candidate for an immediate implant.
