If you have any teeth that have been deemed unrestorable and need to be extracted, you may have considered dental implants as a post-extraction solution.
At Ivory Dental Malaysia, we offer immediate dental implant treatments to restore the function of unsalvageable teeth, enabling you to chew properly again.
Conventional dental implant techniques require a healing period of up to several months after extraction before placing the implant. During this period, there will be bone loss in the jawbone. Excessive bone loss during this period will result in the need for an additional surgical procedure called bone augmentation to augment the bone volume, thickness, and height. Only after this procedure is done will the dental implant be placed. This means multiple surgery visits and a lengthy wait time up to 12 months for the patient.
In contrast, in the immediate implant technique, a dental implant is placed into the empty tooth socket immediately after extraction. The crown will be placed on the dental implant 6 months later. The advantages of this method are:
- only one surgery needed;
- an overall less traumatic process for the patient, since patientโs gums will not have to be cut and sutured back together.
- better aesthetics in the final outcome, as we are able to prevent bone and tissue loss after the extraction, preserving the architecture of the jawbone and gum.
We use zirconia and titanium as the main materials for our implants for their health safety profile and durability. Scientific studies have shown that dental implants can last for decades. Dental implants feel like natural teeth even when eating, and can also withstand biting on hard-textured foods.
Crucially, dental implants ensure the surrounding natural teeth stay put and do not โdriftโ into empty spaces left by missing/extracted teeth. Left unchecked, the undesired drift of natural teeth into these empty spaces spreads out your teeth, leading to gaps in your smile. Therefore, the presence of dental implants helps to maintain the alignment of natural teeth.
