the implant surgeon examines the patient and conducts diagnostics (X-ray, CT, laboratory tests) to assess the patient's condition and exclude contraindications;
One-time dental implantation
Immediate implant placement (express implant placement) is the removal of a damaged tooth and installing an implant in its place within one visit to the dentistry.
Immediate implant placement allows you to place the crown on the artificial root immediately. Such a crown is lightweight, which prevents excessive stress on the tooth and maintains access to the implant. Over time, this design is replaced with a permanent crown. Thanks to express implantation, the patient immediately receives an aesthetic result.
Depending on whether a temporary crown is placed or not, there are 2 types of immediate implant placement:
- with immediate loading - the crown is placed immediately;
- with delayed loading - the crown is placed after the implant survival.
Who can undergo an immediate implant placement
According to the classical scheme, implantation is carried out several months after the extraction of the tooth, when the soft tissues heal and the bone restores. With express implantation, this stage is skipped by placing the implant in the socket from the extracted tooth.
The prerequisites for immediate implantation are:
- low-traumatic tooth extraction;
- formation of a hole suitable for the installation of the implant;
- sufficient volume and density of bone tissue;
- sufficient thickness of the gums;
- absence of inflammatory, infectious process in the oral cavity.
- Is instant implantation suitable for you? It is easy to find out by consulting the Oxford Medical dentists.
Advantages and efficiency of immediate implant placement
The efficiency of immediate implant placement is comparable to the classical two-stage implantation - implants successfully take root in almost all patients. The latter is considered classical and has been used for many decades, but now more and more doctors and patients choose the express method.
It has several advantages:
- installation of the implant on the day of removal;
- immediate installation of a temporary crown (according to indications);
- usage of low-traumatic techniques;
- fast healing;
- saving of the natural contours of the gums;
- saving of the initial volume of bone tissue (with the prolonged absence of a tooth, it decreases);
- reducing the risk of complications;
- fast restoration of the chewing function of the tooth and aesthetic appearance;
- saving time and money.
How is an immediate implant placement performed at Oxford Medical?
Immediate implant placement is technically considered a more complex procedure, but at the same time, it is less traumatic for the patient. Unlike the two-stage procedure, which is carried out several months after the extraction of the tooth, in this case, a puncture of the bone tissue and an incision of the gums are not required to form a hole. As a result, there is less bleeding, and the wound heals faster.
Stages of immediate implant placement:
Pretreatment
Tooth extraction
a specialist administers anesthesia and gently removes the tooth, minimally traumatizing bone and soft tissues;
Assessment of the condition of the hole
the doctor checks whether all elements of the tooth have been removed, and also assesses the bone tissue and gums condition to confirm the possibility of immediate implant placement;
Installation of the implant
the specialist cleans the hole and installs an artificial root into it, and then sutures the gum;
Installation of a temporary crown
the doctor checks the stability of the implant and, if it is satisfactory, places a temporary crown (for implantation with delayed loading, the crown is installed in a few months);
Control of the survival rate of the implant
a reexamination is carried out in a few weeks;
Placement of a permanent crown
the procedure is performed in 3-4 months.
Thanks to modern technical equipment and highly qualified specialists, immediate implant placement at Oxford Medical is carried out following the highest quality standards.
Recommendations after implantplacement
For the implant to successfully take root, it is vital to strictly adhere to all the doctor's prescriptions after the operation.
Key recommendations:
- make cold compresses for several hours to reduce swelling and bleeding (as prescribed by a doctor);
- do not touch the wound with your hands;
- refrain from eating until the end of the effect of anesthesia;
- for several days, adhere to a light diet (refusal from spicy, hot, so as not to injure the oral mucosa);
- give up smoking and alcohol;
- refrain from physical activity and thermal procedures (hot bath, sauna);
- sleep with your head elevated, do not lie on the side of the implant.
After the procedure, the doctor gives detailed recommendations. Then, you need to adhere to the listed rules for several weeks.
Immediate implant placement at Oxford Medical is an opportunity to replace an extracted tooth with a durable implant in just 1 visit.
