Immediate Implants
Immediate Implants at Gisborne, Macedon & Riddells Creek
Immediate implants are the dental solution to replace missing teeth quickly. When you choose this type of dental implant, you will get the implant and a CEREC crown on the same day a tooth is extracted, allowing you to have normal chewing function without interrupting the healing process of the implant. Our team of skilled dentists can determine if you are a candidate for a dental implant and if so, will replace your missing tooth while preserving function of your teeth with less treatment time.
What are Immediate Implants?
Immediate implants are a dental solution used to quickly replace a missing tooth and tooth root. A dental implant is made of biocompatible titanium, and can be inserted into the jawbone on the same day a tooth is extracted. This allows quicker healing of the bone, a process called osseointegration.
A temporary crown will be placed on the implant to replace the tooth, which will also protect the implant during healing. The temporary CEREC crown will be a bit shorter than the rest, so there is no pressure from chewing. This allows the implant to heal quicker so you can get the permanent crown sooner.

Benefits of Immediate Implants
The main benefit of immediate implants is to maintain full function of your teeth. But other benefits are just as important, such as a quicker healing time. That’s because dental bone will naturally fill in the socket of the extracted tooth, and placing an implant into the socket allows it to anchor into the socket during this healing process. Other benefits of immediate implants include the following:
Quickly replace a missing tooth
No removable prosthesis
Preserve jawbone
More comfortable than a traditional bridge
Less invasive to surrounding teeth than a traditional bridge
Less dental visits that a traditional dental implant
Easy care with daily oral hygiene practices
Maintain a youthful face shape
Stop surrounding teeth from shifting out of place due to a missing tooth
Convenient compared to regular implants or bridges
Restore your smile and chewing function
Quicker healing of jawbone and gums
The Best Dental Solution
Immediate dental implants are preferred by many patients because they save time and money. And you don’t have to live with a missing tooth, which can cause other teeth to move out of place or pain in your gums when eating. Immediate implants may be the ideal solution for the following situations:
Immediately replace a tooth that needs to be extracted due to decay or damage
A more permanent solution for patients who do not want a dental bridge
If more than one tooth needs to be extracted, an implant-supported bridge is ideal for those who do not want dentures

Risk and Recovery
Dental implants are a long-term option for replacing missing teeth, but they involve surgery and carry specific risks and recovery considerations.
Possible risks include:
- Swelling, bruising or discomfort after surgery
- Minor bleeding during the initial healing period
- Infection at the implant site, though uncommon
- Risk of implant failure if integration with the bone does not occur
- Nerve injury or sinus involvement, depending on implant placement
Recovery considerations:
- Initial healing generally takes one to two weeks
- Osseointegration, where the implant fuses with bone, can take several months
- A soft diet is often recommended during early healing
- Regular reviews and good oral hygiene are important for long-term success
