One of the more common implant procedures we do is an “immediate implant”. Immediate implants are placed at the same time a tooth is removed. This is a very efficient process and a great option to replace a tooth that requires removal. These are the appointments required to complete this process:
Appointment #1- local numbing medicine is used to ensure it’s a pain free procedure. (This is the only step that requires numbing) The tooth is removed and an implant is placed into position. (60-90 minute procedure)
Appointment #2: follow-up at ten days to confirm appropriate healing and remove any sutures if used. (5 minute procedure)
Appointment #3: after 3 months the implant is digitally scanned to design and manufacture the crown. (15 minute procedure)
Appointment #4: the final crown is inserted and torqued securely and function can begin immediately. (15 minute procedure)
