Immediate Implants: A Faster Path to Your Confident Smile
If you’re considering dental implants, immediate implants might be the solution you’re looking for. Unlike traditional implants, which often require several months between extraction and placement, immediate implants allow us to place the implant right after removing the tooth. While your permanent crown may not be placed the same day, we can provide an interim partial denture for visible areas to keep your smile looking great during healing. Here’s why immediate implants may be ideal for you:
1. Preserve Your Jawbone
After a tooth is extracted, the bone around it can start to shrink due to lack of stimulation. An immediate implant helps keep the bone healthy by stimulating it right away, preserving your jaw structure and contributing to a more natural appearance.
2. Fewer Appointments, Faster Results
With immediate implants, you save time by combining tooth removal and implant placement into a single visit. This reduces the number of appointments and shortens the overall treatment time, getting you closer to your restored smile faster.
3. Healthy Gum and Tissue Support
Placing the implant right away helps preserve the natural shape of your gums, creating a more seamless look when the final crown is placed. This approach reduces the need for additional procedures to shape the gums, resulting in a more natural, aesthetically pleasing outcome.
4. Enhanced Comfort and Stability
Because the implant is placed immediately after extraction, the bone is often better able to integrate with the implant, providing a solid foundation. This can increase comfort and stability and contribute to a successful long-term outcome.
Is an Immediate Implant Right for You?
Immediate implants work well for many people who have good oral health and enough jawbone to support the implant. However, if there’s an infection or insufficient bone at the extraction site, other options may be more suitable. A consultation will help determine the best choice for your needs.
If you’re looking for a quick, efficient solution to replace a missing tooth and get back to enjoying your life and smile, immediate implants may be the answer.
