Immediately Loaded Implant
Dental implant treatment has traditionally been a time-gaining process, taking anywhere between a quarter of a year to one complete year. During this time, the patient has to pay several visits to their dentist to complete different elements of the procedure. However, the process can be simplified, and the time involved can be reduced considerably with immediately loaded implants. Here, the main focus is to place implants immediately and load them. Here, the article will consider the immediate loading implants in detail, including:
In simple terms, instead of waiting for teeth recovery after extraction, implants are placed at the same time soon after the natural teeth are taken out. The process has been in place for over four decades. However, they are becoming more common today with innovative technology and methods. Dental Health Punta Cana currently uses these implants to ensure the best treatments for local and foreign patients.
The most important factor in immediate loading or function is to ensure that primary stability is achieved completely for the teeth. Restoration can be placed within 48 hours of the initial placement if that happens. If the process is performed for a single tooth, it is called immediate provisionalization.
The introduction of immediate loaded dental implants has been a revolutionary step in dental implantology. Immediate loaded dental implants are placed in the jawbone and can have a temporary or permanent crown attached to them on the same day. This means that patients can walk out of the dental office with a functional set of teeth and a restored smile, all in a single day.
One of the biggest advantages of immediate loaded dental implants is that patients don’t have to wait for months to have their teeth restored. They can eat, speak, and smile with confidence immediately after the procedure. This is particularly beneficial for people who have lost multiple teeth, as it helps to restore their confidence and improve their quality of life.
Many benefits are achieved by immediately loaded implants that are not necessarily achieved by the regular treatment options. Some of the main benefits achieved by immediately loaded implants are mentioned here:
Shorter Treatment Time: With placement being completed soon after the initial restoration process, the total time required for the implant treatment reduces considerably. Concurrently, less time is spent between the detention because the esthetic restoration occurs on the same day of the surgery. Therefore, it suits people who can’t spare time regularly for the treatment.
Predictability: The need for surgical intervention at any point during the treatment reduces massively. As a result, it is easier to predict the results at any given point. The best part about the treatment is that the client is always in touch with the improvements that the treatment brings side by side.
Tissue Loss is Minimal: When traditional dental implants are installed, the restoration time is longer, which means that more soft and had tissues may have to be removed to make space for the implants to be placed. However, with immediately loaded implants, as the placement occurs almost immediately, the need to remove the tissues reduces magnanimously.
Psychological Satisfaction: One key issue involved in dental implants is that the sheer time they take can reduce the psychological satisfaction manifold. Being satisfied can result in people giving up on their treatment mid-way. A huge issue here is that they need to complete the treatment to see useful results. Otherwise, the time and money already spent could be a huge waste. On the other hand, immediately loaded implants ensure that the results are derived faster, making it more natural and useful for the person to complete the treatment.
Usually, the surgeon will consider several factors before determining if the patient is suitable for the immediately loaded implant treatment. Some of the main factors involved in the evaluation process are mentioned below:
- They consider whether the placement is deep enough. The longer an implant is, the more suitable it is for immediate loading. Plus, longer and deeper implants can be inserted more stably. If there is no stability possible, the treatment is avoided because it will lead to less micromotion.
- Bone density is another important consideration factor. If the bone is dense, it will hold the implants in their place.
- Implants should have less force on them. Frontal teeth in our mouth have a lower force on them compared to the teeth placed at the back of the mouth.
However, not everyone is a candidate for immediate loaded dental implants. Factors such as the amount of jawbone available, the patient’s overall health, and the location of the missing tooth, among others, determine whether immediate loaded dental implants are a viable option.
Immediate loaded dental implants are ideal for patients who need to replace a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is relatively painless. The dentist drills a hole into the jawbone, inserts the implant, and attaches a temporary or permanent crown to it.
Generally, a step-by-step process is followed for immediately loaded implants. First, the implant design is considered in detail to ensure that they are more suitable for the placement than the regular designs. Many different companies offer such designs. Dental Health Punta Cana keeps the widest range of options available to perfectly meet the client’s requirements. The density and shape of the bone are considered at the start to avoid over or under-preparation of the implants. It is then important to gauge whether the implant can fit rightly on the bone. Ensuring that the process is fully stable is extremely important for these implants. However, the time is considerably lower compared to the regular implant treatment because you don’t need 4-8 months of restoration before placing the replacement teeth. The entire procedure ends once the implants have been fully installed and the replacement teeth have been put in place.
As with any other treatment, immediate loading of a dental implant comes with certain risks and problems involved.
- Surgical trauma during the placement can be far higher than regular treatments. Consequently, it could lead to severe pain and after-effects for the patient. In extreme cases, it could lead to post-operative mobility despite no infection involved. Consequently, the entire treatment can fail, causing the time and money to be wasted. The best method to mediate the issue is getting the treatment performed by experts at Dental Health Punta Cana. We have the experience necessary to perform the treatment in the best way possible.
- The repair area between the bone and the implant increases because of the substantial compressing involved during the process. The repair, it goes smoothly, is not a big concern as many other dental surgeries have higher repair requirements. However, repairs may become a problem in case any infection occurs.
The best way to avert these issues is the ensure that the idea pressure called the adapted zone microstrain is maintained throughout the process. This way, the damaging impact on the bone of the procedure is minimalized, and the repair and recovery time reduces significantly.
The final choice comes down to personal preference. Delayed implants are the traditional method, but they require an excessive incision, which can be a source of discomfort and infections. On the other hand, immediate dental implant loading can result in excessive bone pressure and long-term problems if handled appropriately. On the other hand, appropriate treatment can ensure minimal discomfort and less pain in the immediate loading procedure compared to the delayed loading procedure that is traditionally practiced.
