Immediate loading implants, also known as same-day implants or teeth in a day, are a type of dental implant procedure where a prosthetic tooth or teeth are attached to the implant shortly after its placement, typically within 24 to 48 hours. Unlike traditional dental implants, which require a healing period of several months before attaching the prosthetic, immediate loading implants allow for immediate functionality.
This approach involves careful planning and precise placement of the implant to ensure stability and successful osseointegration (fusion with the jawbone). Immediate loading implants can be advantageous for patients who desire a faster tooth replacement solution, as they can often leave the dental office with a fully functional tooth or teeth on the same day as the implant surgery.
However, not all patients are suitable candidates for immediate loading implants, as factors such as bone density, implant stability, and overall oral health play crucial roles in the success of the procedure. A detailed session on this topic is being taken up by Dr.Girish Byakod who will explain why its necessary to determine if immediate loading implants are appropriate for an individual’s specific case.
