Imagine entering the dental clinic in the morning without teeth and leaving with a fully functional and beautiful smile.
Seems impossible? Not anymore.
Immediate loading implants have revolutionised modern dentistry by making possible what seemed impossible: new teeth in only 24 hours.
Here you will find out every aspect of this innovative technology and how City Dental Clinic is offering this amazing procedure in Albania.
Immediate loading implants represent a revolution in dental implantology. Different from traditional methods that require months of waiting, this technique allows you to return to your normal routine almost immediately.
The concept is easy: the implant will be placed on the jawbone, and a temporary crown or bridge will be placed within hours. This means you don’t have to spend a day without teeth.
The process is based on the initial stability – the ability of the implant to stay put in the bone immediately after placement. This will be achieved through:
Modern technology has made it possible for the implant to integrate with the bone while you are still using it. This is called progressive osseointegration and happens gradually within 3–6 months, while you continue your life as normal.
This is maybe the biggest advantage of immediate loading implants, which is catching the attention of many patients. With immediate loading, the process will be reduced in:
When you lose a tooth, the jawbone will start to immediately shrink. Each month that passes without stimulation, you lose necessary bone structure. Immediate loading implants stop this process since the first day.
Immediate stimulation from chewing and controlled loading:
This is especially important for patients who have lost their teeth recently. The quicker the implants are placed, the better the long-term prognosis.
Even though immediate loading implants are an amazing solution, they are not suitable for everyone. Some conditions must be met for optimal success of the treatment.
Bone quality is the most critical factor. You will need enough bone and good density for the implant to stay fixed immediately after the placement.
