Immediate Dental Implants

What are immediate dental Implants ?

Immediate Dental Implants have gained attention in the last few years and are the best option available when the tooth breaks from the gum line. They are also indicated if there is a decayed tooth which is non infected and needs an extraction and another indication is if a patient has a dentition but due to caries or periodontitis all the teeth need removal . The implants are placed with an immediate denture in place. This is also called Per diem Denture or Implant supported denture.  

What is the procedure of an immediate Implant ?

It involves correct diagnosis with treatment planning and involves X-rays/ 3D scan of the tooth and bone around it. Removal of the tooth with preservation of the bone around it is an important factor required for an immediate Implant. 

The tooth is removed and an appropriate sized implant selected it is screwed in place after cleaning the socket ( the hole after the tooth is gone ) .

Usually the implant is buried in the bone for proper healing and sometimes if the tooth is in esthetic zone the crown is placed over the implant if the dentist gets proper torque from the implant when he is screwing it in the Bone. 

Is the immediate implant  procedure painful ?

The dentist will numb the area around the implant  for approximately  8-12 hours and the only medication  needed is Motrin 400mg and Tylenol 500mg together and only once. Implant patients are not subject to dry socket. Patient usually feel no pain after the procedure. 

Does my dentist do the immediate Implant if i need one? 

Dentist need training for this kind of surgery. Many dentists will refer to an Oral Surgeon to do the extraction and the implant.

How Implant-Supported Dentures Benefit your Everyday Life

Implant-supported dentures offer the latest in denture stabilization through permanent implant posts, so you can enjoy treatment that improves your everyday life and minimizes the time you spend on making your prosthetics work for you. Dr. Dogra and his team provide implant dentures as a way to help patients enjoy better dental health, improved overall wellness, and enhanced quality of life.
For patients with tooth loss, implant dentures provide the following benefits:

No More Denture Paste - The goop you use to apply traditional dentures is messy and, while it may work well enough initially, wears down its grip throughout the day. Dentures that affix into implants do not require the application of paste, helping to cut down on mess and time spent on your daily oral hygiene routine.

Strong, Functional Dentures All Day Long - Because your dentures are firmly held in place by implants that are rooted in bone, you can expect that your teeth won’t slip or slide throughout the day. With implants, your dentures will be strong enough so that you can enjoy your favorite meals and won’t slip out to slur your speech.

Improved Comfort - When traditional dentures become loose, they can rub on soft tissue which causes gum irritation and discomfort. This inconvenience can be one of the many reasons why patients choose to forgo wearing their dentures in the first place. However, implant-supported dentures rest on implant posts, not on gums, so there is no painful rubbing or slipping.

As Close as Possible to your Natural Teeth - Dentures held in place with dental implants posts are the next best treatment available to having your own, real teeth. Your dentures will feel like a natural, seamless part of your smile, instead of a bulky, uncomfortable addition. With implant dentures, you can forget that you’re wearing dentures at all and enjoy having a beautiful smile.
