Are you worried about the time you have to wait between the placement of the implant and the dental crown? The immediate loading technique is a solution that will allow you to have fixed teeth in 48/72 hours from the placement of the implants.
This option is ideal for those who wish to replace their teeth quickly and durably, without having to wait so long.
What is immediate loading?
Immediate load dental implants are an option that allows the placement of temporary fixed dental prostheses within 48/72 hours from the placement of the implants…
This offers an esthetic and functional advantage while waiting for the implant to integrate with the bone (a process known as osseointegration). After about 2-3 months, when the implant has integrated with the bone, the provisional teeth will be replaced by permanent teeth.
With immediate load implants, patients can avoid having to wear a removable dental prosthesis during the osseointegration process, improving both the esthetics and functionality of their mouth.
Who are immediate load implants recommended for?
It is recommended for those patients who have missing teeth or who, after a complete evaluation, it is determined that it is not possible to heal the tooth or teeth, so extraction is the best option for the patient, from the point of view of conservative and periodontal dentistry, we do not recommend any treatment plan that is not strictly necessary for the patient’s health.
How is the step-by-step process of Immediate Loading?
1 – A thorough evaluation of the case is made using radiographs and study models. This evaluation allows the implantologists to plan the type of prosthesis to be made and the number of titanium implants needed. Your physical condition and the state of your oral health are also considered to ensure that the implant treatment is safe and effective.
2 – If the evaluation is favorable, the surgery will be performed as soon as possible and will be coordinated to determine the most convenient time. During surgery, titanium implants will be placed on the same day and temporary fixed teeth will be placed within 48/72 hours of implant placement.
3- Once the necessary osseointegration period has elapsed, the provisional fixed acrylic teeth will be replaced by the definitive fixed porcelain or Zirconium teeth.
4- Implantological maintenance: Periodic monitoring of the state and health of your mouth will be carried out to prevent any type of complication. The success rate of these implants is 99%.
Advantages of immediate loading
1- It requires only one surgical phase, which is more comfortable for the patient and saves time.
2- Allows the elimination of removable dental prostheses, thus improving the patient’s quality of life.
3- It is a very reliable treatment, with success rates similar to those of implants with delayed loading.
4- Contributes to the remodeling of the gum, which is fundamental for the final appearance of the treatment.
5- It can improve chewing function and the ability to speak and pronounce words clearly.
6- Helps prevent bone loss in the area where teeth have been extracted, as implants stimulate bone growth and maintain the structure of the jawbone.
7- It can improve the appearance and aesthetic appearance of the smile, since the implants implants integrate with the bone tissue and are not noticeably different from natural teeth. It is important to keep in mind that each case is unique and a complete evaluation is necessary to determine if an immediate load implant treatment is right for each patient.
Frequently asked questions about immediate loading
Is immediate loading suitable for everyone?
No: it depends on the quantity and quality of bone and on the stability achieved by the implant at placement. The prior study with X-rays and models is what confirms whether your case allows it; when it does not, the conventional two-stage protocol is the safe option.
Can I eat normally with the provisional teeth?
The provisional prosthesis is functional but the implants are still integrating: a soft diet is recommended at first, moving progressively towards normal eating as your dentist indicates.
What happens after osseointegration?
After around two to three months, once the implant has fused with the bone, the provisional teeth are replaced by the final prosthesis, stronger and better fitted.
