TOKYO HIGH DENTAL CLINIC
Immediate Implants
In brief
Immediate implants are placed right after tooth extraction, which can shorten the treatment period.
Implant diagnosis uses a 3D high-resolution CT (VATECH), and the plan is made by Dr. Ahn Jin-gyu — a specialist in integrated dentistry with a Ph.D. in orthodontics — taking the remaining teeth and the bite into account.
A highly advanced procedure placing the implant immediately
This is a method of placing the implant right after extracting the tooth,
which differs from conventional implant treatment.
Check Point!
Less discomfort!
By performing the extraction and implant surgery together under a single anesthesia, the patient’s discomfort from anesthesia can be minimized.
More beautiful!
For front teeth, where aesthetics matter, placing the implant right after extraction minimizes loss of the alveolar bone surrounding the tooth, giving a better-looking result after treatment.
Shorter treatment period!
Because it is a new treatment in which the implant is placed on the same day the tooth is removed, the treatment period can be shortened significantly.
We recommend this for the following
Cases where a front tooth was lost in an accident not long ago
Cases where a tooth must be extracted due to periodontal disease
(with no severe inflammation)
Cases where a tooth must be extracted due to severe decay
Cases where the jawbone is in good condition after extraction
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does implant treatment take?
It depends on the condition of the bone, but generally the final prosthesis is fitted after a two to three month osseointegration period following placement.
Is implant surgery painful?
It is performed under local anesthesia, so there is almost no pain during surgery, though there may be slight discomfort afterwards.
How many years can an implant be used?
It depends on individual oral care, but generally it can be used for more than ten years. With good care it may last a lifetime.
