Immediate loading implantology

Immediate loading implantology, as the name suggests, means a technique that allows you to quickly fix the crowns (the teeth that replace the natural ones that have been lost) on the implants. Typically you wait about 72 hours.

Traditional dental implants provide for the restoration of teeth after a period ranging from 3 to 6 months: this procedure has the drawback of leaving the patient without teeth or with a removable prosthesis in the meantime.

An alternative to this procedure is precisely immediate loading implantology: the new dental implants are inserted after a much shorter time and can be subjected to masticatory force without any problems. However, there may be a wait of a few days for the production of the fixed prosthesis.

If this technique is appropriate for the patient, immediate loading dental implants have several advantages. The first is obviously a minimum waiting time to obtain the restoration of the missing teeth.

Furthermore, with this technique the patient will have to undergo only one surgery instead of two and having new functioning teeth on the same day is certainly a convenient choice.

Gums adapt better to the crown: Because it was placed right into the implant, the gums adapt and grow around it, making the implant look like a natural tooth.

How is it possible to have a dental implant in just one day? We will now explain in detail all the phases of immediate loading implantology.

The first step is a visit to the dentist: a consultation that will allow our specialist to know your dental and medical history, through a series of questions.

Next there will be some diagnostic tests, such as x-rays, CT scans, a photograph of the inside of your mouth. The results of these tests will give the specialist a general and complete picture of your dental situation and he will be able to have a model of your teeth made.

Now begins the surgical phase of immediate loading implantology: first of all the anesthesia, which can also be local.

The specialist will place the pin of the implant in the jaw. It’s a pretty quick pass. Then he will connect the crown of the dental implant.

You may feel some pain as the anesthesia wears off, but your dentist will prescribe painkillers and ice packs to reduce the pain.

• If you have an adequate density and thickness of the mandibular and maxillary bone and therefore a bone reconstruction is not necessary for the insertion of the implants, you can always benefit from immediate loading.
• In some cases you can benefit from this technique even if you need bone reconstruction for the insertion of the implants.
  Before choosing this type of implantology, our specialist will evaluate your situation carefully and decide if you can benefit from it. Immediate loading implantology is an effective and functional technique, but it depends on the condition of your teeth.
  If the conditions are not favorable for immediate loading, the bone will not heal properly.

• Fixed teeth in 72 hours: you can smile again at friends and relatives and eat your favorite foods in their company right away.
• Guaranteed success: thanks to special software, the surgeon will be able to simulate and plan your surgery at every stage and operate in maximum safety.
• Aesthetics: with immediate loading, you will return to your normal teeth in a very short time.
• Painless, without cuts and scars: unlike traditional implantology, computer-guided surgery does not involve cutting and subsequent suturing of the gum for inserting the implants.
• Saving of time and money: the treatment period with immediate loading is much shorter than with deferred loading implantology, as are the recovery times, which are almost immediate.
• Ideal for diabetics and heart patients when performed with computer-guided implantology, an implant technique that does not require the presence of cuts and stitches.
