Losing a tooth, especially one in the visible part of your smile, is one of the things that causes the most insecurity and distress. Being afraid to smile, finding it hard to eat and not wanting to wear removable appliances lead many people in Vélez-Málaga and the Axarquía to look for a quick, lasting solution, such as immediate load implants.
At Acosta Cubero Dental Clinic, in Vélez-Málaga, just a few minutes from Torre del Mar, we know your life can’t be put on hold because of a dental problem. That’s why today we want to tell you about one of the most remarkable advances in modern dentistry: immediate load implants (if you’d first like to learn about the types of dental implants available, we explain them here). Can you imagine walking into the clinic with a missing tooth and leaving the same day with a fixed, perfect smile? Find out how we make it possible! 🤩
What exactly are immediate load implants? 🤔
With traditional dental implant treatment, once the titanium “screw” has been placed in the bone, the patient has to wait between 3 and 6 months (the osseointegration period) before the permanent crown or tooth is fitted. During that time, they often have to wear an uncomfortable removable denture or, in the worst case, live with a visible gap.
Immediate load implants do away with that wait. This advanced protocol allows us to place the titanium implant and, in that same session (or within 24 hours), fix an aesthetic temporary crown on top of it. In other words, you will never have to leave our clinic in Vélez-Málaga without your tooth.
Advantages of immediate load implants: “teeth in a day” 🌟
Choosing immediate loading at Acosta Cubero Dental Clinic brings instant benefits that transform your quality of life:
- Instant aesthetics: your smile looks balanced again straight away. Nobody will notice you’ve had surgery.
- Peace of mind: say goodbye to the stress and embarrassment of being seen with a missing tooth, or of a denture slipping while you talk.
- Gum preservation: by fitting the temporary tooth straight away, we guide how the gum heals, so the final result looks far more natural.
- Fewer procedures: we combine the extraction of the damaged tooth, the implant placement and the prosthesis in a single appointment, saving you time and discomfort.
3D technology: the secret of our success in Vélez ⚙️
Fitting fixed teeth in a single day isn’t magic: it’s pure technology and clinical precision. At our clinic, there is no room for improvisation. To carry out immediate loading, we first take a 3D dental CT scan (CBCT) and a digital scan of your mouth. Using these three-dimensional images, Dr Inmaculada Acosta plans the surgery on a computer, calculating your bone density and the exact position of the implant to the millimetre. This guided surgery technique lets us operate with absolute precision, in a minimally invasive way, with an excellent recovery and ensuring that the implant has the stability needed to support the new tooth from the very first minute.
Am I a good candidate for immediate load implants in Vélez-Málaga? 🙋♂️
Immediate loading is ideal for replacing front teeth lost through a knock or an infection, or even for patients who need a full-mouth restoration (with the All-on-4 technique for a full arch). However, it requires a good quantity and quality of jawbone.
In some situations immediate loading may not be the best option, and it’s better to wait for the implant to integrate before fitting the tooth:
- When there isn’t enough bone for the implant to be stable from day one.
- If there is an active infection in the area that needs treating first.
- In patients with severe bruxism, smokers or people with uncontrolled medical conditions, which can compromise initial stability.
That’s why the decision is always made after the 3D study: if immediate loading isn’t possible, we still have options to replace your tooth safely.
