IMMEDIATE IMPLANT IN BANGKOK

What are immediate (same-day) dental implants?

Immediate dental implants (also known as one day implants or same-day implants) only require a single trip to the dentist for the entire procedure. You will have a consultation first to see whether you’re a good candidate for them and a final checkup after your surgery. One of the main benefits of same-day implants is the immediate restoration of missing teeth. Same-day dental implants are a fast and effective treatment for patients with broken, chipped or missing teeth, and the success rate is very high.

Immediate dental implants vs traditional dental implants

Traditional dental implant treatment can be a long process. After a tooth is taken out, your dentist may recommend a 3-6 month wait to allow the area to fully heal before implants can be placed. After that, there will be at least a two month wait to allow the bone to heal before a crown can be placed on the implant. All this means that the whole process can take anywhere between 5 to 10 months.

Immediate dental implants are ideal for patients who want to restore their smile without waiting for months. Immediate implants can also be more affordable compared to other options, such as crowns, bridges or dentures because they are a one-time procedure with no additional costs afterwards (unlike dentures, for example).

Advantages of immediate dental implants

Restoration is immediate – No need to wait for months for the bone to heal
No need for bone grafting or tooth extraction
The procedure can be completed in one surgical appointment, plus one or two appointments on either side for a consultation and a checkup
The implant fuses to the bone better

Disadvantages of immediate dental implants

Not suitable for all patients – If the patient’s mouth and jaw are not healthy enough to support a new tooth or teeth, they may need additional treatment before getting their implant
Higher cost compared to traditional implant because this requires more equipment and extra staff time to do everything in one day instead of over several visits
There is a possibility your existing teeth could be damaged if there aren’t enough nerves left after removing them all at once – make sure you talk about any health issues with your dentist before deciding whether this method is suitable for you!

Ideal candidates for immediate dental implants

To be considered for immediate dental implants, you should:

Be an adult over 18 years old. If your child is under 18, they may still be a candidate for same-day dental implants if their dentist recommends it and the procedure can be completed at their clinic.
Have healthy gums and no cavities. If your gums are inflamed or swollen, or if you have a toothache or other oral health issues that require treatment before the placement of a new crown, then you’re not likely to be able to undergo same-day dental implantation on the same day as your initial consultation.
Have healthy teeth with a good bone structure to place an implant. It also helps if these natural teeth aren’t angled too much toward one side of your mouth—it will make placing an implant easier and more comfortable.

Conclusion

Immediate, or same-day dental implants can be a good option for patients who need dental implant treatment. They can be a time saver and cost saver. The dentists at Bangkok Dental Spa will be happy to advise whether or not same-day dental implants are right for you.
