What Are Immediate Load Dental Implants?
Here in the Triad of North Carolina, Drs. Keith and Dan MacDonald are offering same-day dental restorations to restore smiles that are suffering from tooth loss. Immediate load dental implants allow patients to come in and leave our office in just one day with a fully-renewed smile.
You won’t have to wait a month for your surgical site to heal and instead, we can provide you with an attractive, durable, temporary restoration until we finish designing your permanent one. An immediate load implant typically can only be used for a single-tooth restoration but luckily, many patients are great candidates for it.
Benefits of Immediate Load Implants
If you want to restore your smile in one day with a long-lasting solution that enhances your appearance and boosts confidence, then an immediate load dental implant is right for you. Additional benefits that our patients experience with this highly-effective tooth replacement option include:
- A shorter treatment process
- Reduced surgery time
- Leave with a new smile all in one day
- Ultimate comfort with exact implant placement
- Regain function of your teeth right away
How the Process Works
The best part about immediate load implants is that the procedure is fast, easy, and minimally invasive. When you come in for your initial consultation, Drs. Keith and Dan MacDonald will examine your oral health and ensure your jaw can support your dental implants.
After your exam, we will explain to you the details of the procedure and allow you to ask any questions you may have. In some cases, patients may require one of our supplemental procedures before beginning implant treatment to ensure a greater level of success.
Here’s a simple guide on how the immediate load procedure will go:
- We’ll perform a pre-procedure exam to remove any damaged, loose, or failing teeth to prepare you for your implants.
- Then, we’ll surgically place the implant in the jawbone and use a temporary crown to cover it so you won’t have to leave our office toothless.
- While the implant heals and integrates with the supporting bone tissue, you’ll come back to receive your permanent restoration.
- After you leave with your stunning new smile, be sure to maintain good oral hygiene and come in for your regular dental visits so your implant can last a lifetime.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do immediate load dental implants last?
With immediate load dental implants, you’ll receive a custom restoration designed to last you a lifetime. However, the visible part of your restoration, the dental crown, typically needs replacing every 10 years. To achieve the maximum longevity of your dental implants, it’s essential to maintain routine at-home oral care. This consists of brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and rinsing between meals. Make sure to visit our Archdale dental practice once every six months for regular dental cleanings and checkups.
How much do immediate load dental implants cost?
The price of your immediate load dental implant treatment will depend on a variety of factors. These factors include the need for any supplemental procedures, how many implants you’ll require, and if your insurance covers a portion of the expenses. We recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. MacDonald at our Archdale office where he’ll break down the cost of your implant treatment.
If you have any worries about the cost of your procedure, we offer financing options to ensure you get the dental care you need. If you have any questions or concerns, please call our Archdale office at (336)-803-7570 and one of our knowledgeable team members will gladly assist you.
