Immediate vs Delayed Dental Implants: When Can You Get Teeth in a Day?

An immediate implant is placed directly into the fresh socket immediately after atraumatic tooth extraction. Because Dr. Avinash places the implant in the exact natural socket, your gum contours and interdental papillae (the pink triangular gum peaks) are preserved beautifully.

If primary stability (torque > 35 Ncm) is achieved, a customized natural-looking temporary crown is attached immediately, meaning you never leave our clinic with an embarrassing gap in your smile.

While immediate implants are fantastic, they are not suitable for every clinical situation. Delayed placement is safer when:

• Severe Active Infection: If a massive periapical abscess or chronic cystic infection is present, the socket must be debrided and allowed to heal with bone graft biomaterials first.
• Inadequate Bone Density or Height: If extensive bone has melted away from periodontal disease, a sinus lift or socket preservation graft is performed 3 to 4 months prior to implant insertion.
• bruxism / Heavy Grinding: Heavy nighttime chewers may compromise immediate healing stability.

Using high-resolution Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scanning and computer-guided 3D surgical templates, Dr. Avinash evaluates your bone density and nerve canals to determine with 100% mathematical precision whether immediate loading is safe for you.
