These attractive qualities are just a few of many reasons why you\u2019ve already told your periodontist that you want this type of tooth replacement after your extraction. But how long will you need to wait to receive these life-changing prosthetics?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens After Tooth Removal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Immediately following the removal of your tooth, your periodontist will place a titanium dental implant into the jawbone. This approach, also known as immediate implants, eliminates wait times while preserving your bone and gum tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With immediate implants, you can avoid months of waiting (a requirement of traditional dental implants) and instead walk out of your appointment with a newly restored smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This not only reduces treatment time but also:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduces the number of visits and procedures required<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Produces a beautiful, natural-looking aesthetic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delivers a high success rate of about 95%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Process of Receiving Immediate Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you and your periodontist decide that a dental implant is a suitable way to replace your missing tooth, you can expect to discuss the process of immediate implants, which will occur after your tooth is removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process begins when your periodontist administers local anesthesia to numb the area of your mouth that requires surgery. After the damaged or decayed tooth is removed, they will carefully inspect the socket to ensure it is thoroughly cleaned and ready for implant placement. It will be inserted into the jawbone, ensuring proper positioning for optimal integration and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your periodontist is satisfied with its placement and stability, a metal abutment will be placed on top of the implant, and a temporary dental crown will complete the look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although fusing the implant to the bone can take 3-6 months, you can still enjoy the benefits of a functional smile even in this early stage of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be required to meet with your periodontist a few weeks after surgery to ensure everything is healing properly. A permanent crown will replace the temporary one, giving you the longer-lasting smile you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of waiting months after tooth extraction to receive traditional dental implants, let your periodontist offer a faster solution with immediate implants. It\u2019s a decision you won\u2019t regret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Our Periodontal Team<\/strong><br>Dr. Linda Park is a periodontist with over half a decade of experience.
