Many dental clinics practice dental implantation. An instant procedure allows the patient to quickly solve his problem. For almost one or two visits, the patient receives a ready-made artificial unit. But, like any procedure, simultaneous implantation of teeth has its own indications, contraindications and features. This will be discussed in our article.
Immediate dental implantation: what is it?
If the implant is implanted immediately after tooth extraction, then this is instant prosthetics. The method allows you to bypass the recovery period. In addition, today it is considered one of the most sparing methods of implantation. That is why, if there are no contraindications, the specialist recommends using it.
Before implantation, the patient undergoes a full examination of the oral cavity. If necessary, the specialist conducts rehabilitation.

Benefits
In this section of the article, we’ll talk about the benefits implanted in dental implants. The instantaneous procedure allows you to restore the lost unit of the jaw arch as soon as possible. What does this give us, in addition to saving the patient’s time on trips to the clinic? Immediate implant placement helps maintain the health of adjacent teeth. After all, if you do not fill the resulting void, the neighboring units begin to shift. The teeth can turn around, take the wrong location, spoil the bite, loose. Therefore, in comparison with classical implantation (carried out in 1 month), the procedure under consideration takes place lightning fast.
Another advantage can be called a reduction in the manipulations themselves. In the classic version, the patient has to undergo 3 procedures. And, of course, the considered dental implantation is presented in a favorable light. The one-stage technique implies the establishment of both an abutman and a temporary crown in one visit.
There is one more important advantage of the technique. From the first day, after installation of the implant, the formation of gums around it begins. Thus, an excellent aesthetic effect is achieved. The edge of the gums looks natural. Even at close range, people around you will not be able to determine where the implant is located.
With all this, experts argue that the manifestation of injuries is minimized. So the advantages of this technique are obvious.
Description of procedure
It just so happened that many people are afraid of visiting the dentist. Sometimes it is psychologically easier for a patient to overcome the barrier if he immediately understands what awaits him. Now we will discuss the stages and sequence of actions that implants implantation of teeth implies. How is the procedure? In modern clinics, the specialist always advises the patient before surgery.
As we already mentioned, a thorough examination is carried out first. A tomography of the jaw is made to the patient. If all conditions are met, then you can decide on the feasibility of carrying out such a procedure as simultaneous dental implantation. How is the preparation going? The doctor on the computer simulates the progress of the operation. Determines the direction, angle, depth of implantation. Thus, virtually a specialist conducts a preliminary operation.
Next, go directly to the procedure. The patient does not experience any discomfort, since local anesthesia is used. The specialist removes the problem tooth or what is left of it. The hole remains flat. A small drill drills a hole in the bone. Further, with special tools, it expands to the required diameter. This is followed by the stage of implantation. Through the root hole, it is screwed into the jawbone. This is necessary so that the fixation is strong. Then, an abutment is put on the implanted implant. This is a kind of imitation of the lost part, which protruded above the level of the gums. A temporary crown is placed on the abutment. Thus, the patient comes into the office with one tooth, and leaves it with another.
A person wears a temporary crown until the implant is fully integrated into the bone tissue. Usually this period lasts from several months to six months.
Postoperative period
Now is the time to find out what awaits the patient after a procedure such as dental implants? At the same time, by removing the destroyed unit and implanting the artificial root, a person solves his problem. He gets a full tooth in the jaw arch. What recommendations does the patient give the specialist?
As a rule, a person can experience mild discomfort for only a few days. The doctor warns the patient that during this period excessive chewing load on the implant is undesirable. The specialist also gives recommendations on the use of antiseptic agents for the oral cavity. Hygiene must be monitored especially. A few days later, provided that everything went well, the patient is already getting used to the artificial unit and perceives it as his own. So the recovery phase is very fast and does not cause a person any inconvenience. Undoubtedly, this fact is also attributed to the advantages of the technique under consideration.

That is why the possibility of an instant solution to the problem delighted many patients. Negative reviews most often sound about the cost of the procedure. To date, the technique is not available to all social sectors of the population.

During the course of the article, we examined in detail what a procedure like simultaneous dental implantation is. This is a unique technique that requires highly qualified specialist, the use of the latest materials and equipment. The question arises: "How much does it cost?" The final price will depend on the level of the clinic, the material used and the region. On average, the installation of one implant costs the patient 25-35 thousand rubles.
