Immediate loading implantology
The immediate-loading implantology, as its name suggests, it refers to a technique that allows the crowns to be quickly fixed (the teeth that replace the natural teeth that have been lost) on the implants.
The traditional dental implant involve the restoration of teeth after a period ranging from 3 to 6 months: this procedure has the disadvantage of leaving the patient without teeth or with a removable prosthesis in the meantime.
An alternative for this procedure is the immediate loading implantology: new dental implants are inserted after a decidedly shorter time and can be subjected to the masticatory force without any problem. However, a wait of a few days is necessary for the production of the fixed prosthesis.
Benefits of the immediate loading implantology
If this technique is appropriate for the patient, the immediate loading dental implants have several advantages. The first is obviously a minimum waiting time to obtain the restoration of the missing teeth.
Moreover, with this technique the patient will have to undergo only one surgery instead of two and having new functional teeth the same day is certainly a convenient choice.
The gums adapt better to the crown: since it was placed immediately in the implant, the gums adapt and grow around it, making the implant look like a natural tooth.
