Stages for Immediate Implants

The immediate implant step applies when you still  have an existing tooth that needs extraction. In immediate implant protocols, the poor prognoses tooth is removed and the implant post is placed during the same surgical visit. Therefore stage 1 and 2 is done together. If already have a missing gap, one day implant or same day implant does not apply to you because stage 1 is skipped.

Stage 1

Implant Site Preparation
  • Tooth extraction
  • Bone grafting

Stage 2

Implant Post Surgical Insertion

Stage 1

Prosthetics Placed On Implant Post
  • crowns
  • bridge
  • hybrid bridge
  • dentures

Having immediate implants does not necessarily mean that your treatment procedure is completed in one go. Whether prosthetics on implant (stage 3) may be done during the same period is dependent if an immediate-load implant is advisable for your case. If otherwise, after stage 2, the implant post is left to heal or osseo-integrate for about 2 to 6 months before stage 3 is started as done in conventional implant protocols.

Due to dental implant material, techniques and developments, the completion time for one day implants has now been cut short from more than 8 months to just 2 months.

This list is non-exhausive and whether these two types of implant treatment protocol is feasible for you is dependent on the judgement of your implantologist on an individualized case basis.

  1. If you have a fractured or decayed tooth that needs to be extracted, a dental implant may be placed at the time of the tooth extraction. However, if your fractured or decayed tooth is infected, same day implants is not advised. There should be no apical disorder or inflammation at the area of the implant site.

Different bone volume and density and preparation techniques will influence the level of stability.  If you require major bone grafts, immediate and immediate load implants will not be suited for you.
