Immediate loading for a single dental implant

Single-tooth implants with immediate loading consist of placing one or a few dental implants and then attaching a fixed prosthesis. This technique is used to reduce the stages of the procedure and allow the smile to be restored more quickly with implants. The tooth is fixed directly to the implant during surgery or within a few days.

The single-tooth implant immediate loading technique makes your treatment faster

In a common procedure, a temporary acrylic tooth is placed in the correct position for a period of one to four months (healing period), depending on the type of implant chosen. Soon after this period, the implant and bone are closer together and the gums are more stable, making it possible to make the molds for the permanent porcelain tooth.

In the case of immediate loading for single implants, the technique is used to rehabilitate just one tooth. This type of intervention is used when the tooth is severely compromised by cavities, periodontal disease, fractures or simply the absence of a tooth (a tooth that hasn’tbeen born).

The extraction of a problem tooth is followed by the installation of the implant and the fixing of an immediate prosthesis by the implant dentist. Even with planning, in some cases there are uncertainties about the use of immediate loading. Some factors cannot be predicted, such as the stability of the implant (insertion torque) and the quality of the bone.

The technique is particularly suitable for the front teeth, especially the incisors, which require less chewing force. The bottom teeth are not suitable for immediate loading because chewing exerts too much force. Therefore, immediate loading in this area reduces the chances of successful treatment.

To carry out the single implant immediate loading procedure, the patient must be in good health with good oral conditions to facilitate the primary stability of the implant. In addition, favorable bone structure is essential for immediate loading.

Uncontrolled systemic diseases and smoking are factors that should be assessed by the dentist, as smoking reduces the chances of osseointegration.
