Restoration within 48 hours
Some patients may be candidates for a very early temporary or final restoration after implant placement, depending on bone strength, bite forces, and the treatment plan.
Dental implants
If a damaged tooth needs to be removed before implant treatment, immediate implant placement may shorten the overall process. Our surgeons evaluate the extraction site, bone support, and healing needs before recommending the safest timing.
What immediate means
Dental implants can be a longer process, especially when teeth have been missing for some time. For many patients, restorations are added months after implant placement.
Immediate implant placement means the titanium implant is placed in the jawbone immediately after the damaged tooth is extracted. This can simplify treatment, support healing, and reduce the wait before the final restoration.
“Immediate” does not always mean a crown or overdenture is attached the same day. Some patients restore quickly, while many need several weeks of healing before the restoration is attached.
Candidate fit
Immediate placement depends on the condition of the extraction site, jawbone strength, infection risk, and how well the implant can be stabilized at the time of surgery.
Restoration timing
Your surgeon works with your dentist or prosthodontist to determine when your restoration can be attached. The right timing depends on bone strength, recovery, implant stability, and your restorative plan.
Some patients may be candidates for a very early temporary or final restoration after implant placement, depending on bone strength, bite forces, and the treatment plan.
Many patients need a short healing window before their restoration is attached. This gives the implant site time to recover and allows your team to confirm stability.
Some cases still benefit from a three-to-six-month healing period before restoration. Your surgeon and dentist choose the timeline that best protects long-term results.
Benefits
When the anatomy and extraction site are favorable, immediate implants may simplify surgery, shorten recovery, reduce the amount of tissue and bone change, and improve patient satisfaction with the process.
Shorter wait between implant placement and restoration
Fewer surgeries for many patients
Faster overall recovery time
Less tissue and bone loss
Greater satisfaction with final results
Healing checks
Your surgeon checks healing periodically to confirm when the implant is ready for a restoration. This protects the final result and helps avoid placing too much force on the implant too early.
Recovery time
Immediate implants can shorten the treatment timeline, but the final schedule should still respect the biology of healing and the strength of the implant site.
Reclaim confidence
We will evaluate your extraction site, bone support, and restorative goals to determine whether immediate implants are a smart option.
