All about immediate load dental implants
Dental implants are the best solution to replace missing teeth. They are titanium posts directly inserted into the jawbone. The implant acts as the root which supports the prostheses. There is bone formation around the implants, which requires time. This is how traditional implants work. The prostheses are planned after bone formation. But can we have implants in a day? How do immediate loading implants work? If these are some of the questions you have, then hold on. The blog post below will briefly discuss the immediate load of dental implants by Molar Support Dental Clinic Jaipur.
How do immediate-load dental implants work?
Immediate loading implants work on placing the temporary caps on the same day as implants. This method does not work in all implant cases. In traditional implant methods, the caps are placed after the new bone is formed. In immediate loading implants, temporary crowns are given in the same visit. After a few months, when there is sufficient new bone formation, we replace the temporary crowns with permanent prostheses. This allows you to have a fixed set of teeth immediately.
Benefits of immediate load dental implants
Reduced Time
You will get your implant and the temporary crown in a single day. This means that you can resume your routine with proper care and some restrictions. The total time to get the teeth is reduced, and you dont have to wait months to get fixed teeth.
Immediate functioning
You can smile freely, speak confidently, and chew your regular food easily. This is a confidence booster and helps maintain your teeth’ function.
Minimal bone loss
When teeth are lost, function is lost, and bone also starts losing volume. However, with the immediate loading of implants, the function of the teeth is restored immediately. There is minimal bone loss, as the teeth are used continuously.
Single visit
There is no need to come for multiple visits. You can get the implants and temporary crowns in a single day. This improves the prognosis as the whole process is completed in one sitting.
Improved aesthetics
Losing teeth can set you back in confidence. It affects you psychologically and socially. Improved aesthetics in a single day without waiting can help you regain confidence.
Who can have immediate load dental implants?
So, the most crucial question is whether the immediate load implant is for everyone. See the immediate implant requires careful planning and depends on various factors. Let us discuss the most common factors affecting eligibility for immediate loading implants.
Bone health
Bone volume and density play vital roles in determining eligibility. If insufficient bone is present, we need bone grafting and traditional implants. We can not use single-sitting implants.
General Health
Medical health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and other cardiovascular ailments need to be ruled out. Discussing your medical history with the treating doctor to plan immediate implants correctly is important.
Dental status
If you have gum problems, you are not a candidate for immediate loading implants. Gum problems in advanced stages affect the supporting tissue and bone health, affecting the implants’ prognosis.
Habits
Habits like smoking and tobacco consumption affect the healing of implant surgery.
Bottom line
Immediate-loading implants are excellent for replacing missing teeth in a single visit. However, it is essential to note that they are not for everyone. Factors like bone health, general health, current dental status, and habits are vital in determining eligibility. A complete dental examination is crucial to decide on eligibility.
