Every so often we are advised by our Dentist to get our tooth extracted and replaced by a Dental Implant since they are the most appropriate and predictable option when it comes to replacing single or multiple missing teeth.
Implant surgery can be undertaken either by a delayed or an immediate approach.
Implant placement immediately following a tooth extraction is known as immediate implant surgery and is part of the same surgical procedure as a tooth extraction, whereas in a delayed approach an implant is placed after a period of 3-4 months post extraction during which the patient remains edentulous. (without tooth)
Advantages of Immediate implant placement over delayed are as follows:
- Reduces treatment and healing time
- Preserves the bone volume and help achieve superior aesthetics
- More cost effective
- Provides better comfort to the patient (Only one surgical procedure)
Immediate implant placements are technically challenging and is undertaken by clinicians with considerable experience and expertise.
Hence, here at Ridgetop Dental International we aim to restore patient’s teeth to best of function, contour, comfort, aesthetics, speech and health.
