The process of placing an immediate dental implant requires precision and expertise. Unlike traditional implants, which require several months of healing before placement, immediate implants take advantage of the existing bone structure, reducing overall treatment time.
This efficient method allows patients to restore their smiles quickly and avoid multiple surgical procedures.
Choosing immediate dental implants offers several advantages compared to the traditional implant process. Patients can enjoy a faster, more convenient treatment plan without compromising long-term success.
By placing the implant and temporary crown in a single visit, patients avoid the months-long waiting period required for traditional implants. This means fewer office visits and a quicker return to normal function.
When a tooth is extracted, the surrounding bone begins to deteriorate over time. Immediate implant placement helps preserve the bone and prevents gum recession, maintaining the natural contour of the jaw.
Patients don’t have to worry about missing teeth. The temporary crown provides an immediate cosmetic solution, allowing you to smile with confidence while the implant heals.
Since everything is completed in one procedure, there is less overall trauma to the surrounding tissues, leading to reduced discomfort and a faster healing process.
Immediate implants are an excellent option for many patients, but not everyone is a candidate. Certain factors affect eligibility, including bone density, gum health, and overall oral condition.
During a consultation, Dr. Reich will evaluate your oral health and determine whether immediate implants are the best solution for you.
While both traditional and immediate implants offer long-term benefits, understanding the key differences can help patients make an informed decision.
