What Are Immediate Dental Implants?
Dental implants act as a replacement for the roots of your teeth. They provide a solid foundation for crowns, permanent fixed bridges, or dentures. Typical dental implants take several visits and long healing periods to reach full function. However, with immediate dental implants, you can have the procedure done in a single office visit through a revolutionary process that utilizes 3D printing technology. Here is a short list of some of the advantages of utilizing immediate dental implants:
- Being able to have your teeth fixed immediately
- Having a more aesthetic smile
- Doesn’t require the use of removable prostheses which are often uncomfortable
- Improving personal self-image and confidence in addition to enhancing oral function
Immediate dental implants aren’t needed by all patients, especially if replacing a tooth that isn’t directly visible in your smile. Nonetheless, anyone seeking the fastest solution to restore their smile and heightened their self-confidence will find that immediate dental implants are the best option. The speed and convenience are truly special.
Immediate dental implant treatments have actually been possible for some time but their accessibility has grown at a rapid rate in recent years. Whether taking this approach or the traditional route, dental implants are essential for patients who have lost teeth or have teeth that are beyond saving. Ignoring the gaps left behind can result in changes to the jawbone and teeth alignment from pressure on the roots of those teeth. Furthermore, associated inflammation and infections can bring a whole host of severe troubles that can seriously compromise oral health and general appearance. Even if the missing tooth gap is hidden, it must be treated. Immediate dental implants are a fantastic choice.

Are One Visit Dental Implants Right for You?
The technology and possibilities surrounding dental implants have improved extensively since being introduced in 1981. The option of immediate dental implants is arguably the biggest breakthrough of all as it can completely revolutionize a patient’s approach to restorative dental procedures. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that it is the right solution for you. The Dental Partners of Boston team are dedicated to helping all patients find the perfect treatment, which is why we place an emphasis on the importance of our consultation services.
Once we have assessed the state of your current oral health, we will be able to recommend an appropriate treatment option. The consultation phase allows you to enter the subsequent treatments with full confidence.
There are many reasons for tooth loss—sports injuries and physical traumas to poor oral hygiene. All patients are invited to find out more. However, those that have lost a tooth years ago or used certain medications (that alter the jaw’s ability to recover) may not be suitable candidates. Likewise, patients that smoke may wish to look at other options.
A healthy smile can be a great asset.
A smile also has other day-to-day benefits.
How Immediate Dental Implants Are Placed
First, the area is prepared for surgery, meaning any roots or teeth that need removal or alterations must be taken care of first. From there, the titanium posts are placed and topped with bridges or crowns utilizing 3D printing technology. The titanium posts are the same as traditional dental implants while the crowns are made from various resins.
Currently, at Dental Partners of Boston, our implant dentists offer two systems for immediate-load implants:
- Teeth in One Visit Treatment
- Teeth in an Hour Treatment
The process is fairly consistent with the more traditional delayed dental implants, except for the fact that crowns do not require manufacturing in the laboratory. However, for the very best results, immediate dental implants should be supported by supplementary treatments designed to support tissue regeneration. Essentially, the tissues are constantly replacing old cells with new cells, which is why bone grafting is a particularly important part of the process in which grafting material is placed into the socket. Materials can be sourced from various places, but they are all used for a technique known as Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR).
Gum health is equally integral for the ongoing results gained from the treatment. Maintaining healthy soft and hard tissues will aid the process both aesthetically and functionally.
Choosing a team of specialists like Dental Partners of Boston certainly helps, but you also need to make the right preparations ahead of the treatment. Attending to gingivitis and tartar build-ups ahead of the one-visit treatment is essential.
The procedure itself should not hurt as the area is numbed and there is minimal recovery time (other than avoiding excess pressure). This means right away you can enjoy the rewards of the complete treatment.

Immediate Dental Implants Aftercare
The technologies for immediate dental implant treatments have progressed rapidly with a success rate of 98%. The prosthetic tooth will integrate within weeks and graft with the jawbone. During that time, the patient must be careful not to place too much stress on the dental crown and underlying post. Doing so can cause complications that lead to rejection from the jawbone. Therefore, it’s imperative that you employ the necessary steps to keep the tooth suitably protected.
Aftercare
Like traditional dental implants, immediate dental implants also require the right aftercare in regard to oral hygiene. The implants should be treated in the same way as natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss daily, and use mouthwash at least half an hour after brushing. Anyone that suffers from sensitivity can look to use prescription mouthwash. Finally, it can take a few days for the mouth to acclimate and familiarize itself with the prosthetic tooth. Nevertheless, any pain or discomfort that persists beyond two weeks may suggest that adjustments are needed. In this case, call us for a second visit.
