Immediate Implant, also known as Implant in a Day, is a modern dental procedure that allows dental implants to be placed on the same day as tooth extraction. Instead of waiting several months after a tooth is removed, the implant can be positioned immediately into the extraction socket, significantly reducing overall treatment time.
For this procedure to be successful, a detailed clinical and radiological examination is essential. Each patient is carefully evaluated to determine bone quality, bone volume, and overall oral health status. If there are no contraindications for implant surgery, and if the tooth scheduled for extraction does not present active infection, abscess, or severe pathology, immediate implant placement can be safely performed within 24 hours.
Following implant placement, a healing period of approximately three months is required for the implant to fuse with the jawbone — a biological process known as osseointegration. During this time, patients are provided with temporary prostheses, ensuring they do not experience the discomfort or aesthetic concerns of being without teeth.
Immediate implant treatment offers a faster, efficient, and aesthetically advantageous solution for patients seeking to restore missing teeth with minimal waiting time, while maintaining optimal oral function and smile confidence.
As a result of the developing state-of-the-art technology and various researches, it has now become possible to treat missing or needing teeth during the day and that our patients do not lose their teeth even for a short time. Implant application in 24 hours (immediate) is suitable for patients whose bone criteria is sufficient, who have lost all their teeth or whose teeth need to be extracted, and for all patients who do not have any pathology or infection in the jawbones or teeth. After the procedure, non-permanent teeth are placed on the implants. Permanent teeth are attached to the patient following the completion of the required time for the compatibility of the implant tooth with the bone.
Patients should be carefully evaluated for their systemic condition, bone levels, bone thickness, and biological and anatomical limitations. There is a possibility that implant treatment may be inconvenient for patients who have an uncontrolled systemic disease and receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy. For this reason, patients should share their entire medical history with their doctors in detail, and treatment planning should be shaped accordingly.
Before the implant operation, which is a surgical application, only the application area is deeply anesthetized with local anesthesia. Thus, patients do not feel any pain whatsoever. After the procedure, with the medications given and various precautions given by your doctor, the post-operative period can be overcome without pain and swelling.
After the application, you can use your non-permanent dental prosthesis fixed on the implant teeth immediately, eat, talk and continue your daily activities. However, during the 3-month period, which is the process of fusion of implant teeth and bone, you should apply the diet recommended by your doctor. You can return to your usual diet after permanent prostheses are placed.
The life of implant teeth is the same as natural teeth. It can be for life if the patient takes care of their dental hygiene.
Implant treatment fees vary according to the implant tooth brand used. Implant teeth, which are placed as an alternative to natural teeth in the mouth for a lifetime, are among the treatments that should not be delayed in terms of preventing irreversible bone loss and ensuring the continuity of aesthetics and function.
