Immediate loading for dental implants – indications
Immediately loaded dental implants are a technique in which the procedure of placing a dental implant and fixed prosthesis is carried out more quickly. In this way, it helps patients regain their self-esteem and their smile without the need to visit the dentist’s office several times. Immediate loading means placing a prosthesis – usually temporary – on the implants immediately after surgery.
Here at the ImplArt Dental Clinic we perform implants with immediate loading. However, each case is assessed on its own merits to see if it is the most appropriate and safest way to ensure the success of each treatment. See more information below.

But can it be done in all cases?
The answer is no. The possibility of an immediately loaded implant depends on fulfilling pre-requisites that can only be ascertained at the time of implant insertion. In addition to checking all the preoperative X-rays and CT scans, there are factors related to the surgery itself. Thus, the final torque of the implant at the time of bone insertion must be verified. It must therefore be checked after the implant has been installed.
In addition, it is important to note that the ideal is always to wait for the dental implant to heal before loading it. The making of a final prosthesis certainly involves aesthetic and functional studies, which have their own timeframe for preparation and testing by the patient. Therefore, if immediate loading is possible, it should ideally only involve a temporary prosthesis. In this way, the final prosthesis can be made with the implants already healed, and the aesthetics and functionality can be studied in depth, without putting the newly inserted implants at risk.
Immediately loaded implants – indications
The dental implant technique with immediate loading can be carried out when bone quantity and quality are normal and also when occlusal habits are favorable for the procedure so that there is no overload from chewing on the site.
Therefore, technique depends on certain conditions in the patient’s dental arch and general oral health. These conditions are assessed individually during a consultation here at the ImplArt Clinic.
What if it can’t be done?
If the technique is not possible, the dentist will look for another solution for the patient’s temporary prosthesis:
- Adhesive prosthesis
- Removable prostheses (mobile prosthesis)
- Reinstatement of the old prosthesis (temporary refitting)
- Fixed prosthesis on neighboring teeth
- Devices to disguise the aesthetics of the area
- Braces with a stuck tooth

The immediate loading dental implant technique can therefore be indicated for the following cases:
- People with a completely missing lower arch,
- Full arch with a few teeth,
- Single or individual teeth in the anterior region of the mouth,
- In some cases, dentures are fixed on some continuous teeth,
In all cases and situations, first and foremost the best course of action is to consult an implant dentist and carry out a full assessment to determine what and how will be done. Only this assessment can determine whether an immediately loaded dental implant is indicated or whether another rehabilitation procedure would bring a better result. In any case, implants are a great way to replace teeth, see before and after cases with dental implants.
