Question 1

What are immediate implants?

Accepted Answer

Immediate implants are inserted directly into the empty tooth socket after tooth extraction – without waiting time. In some cases, a temporary crown can even be placed on the same day (immediate loading).

Question 2

Who are immediate implants suitable for?

Accepted Answer

Immediate implants are suitable for patients with sufficient bone volume, healthy gums, and no active inflammation at the extraction site. The dentist assesses suitability after comprehensive diagnostics with 3D X-ray.

Question 3

What are the advantages of immediate implants?

Accepted Answer

Fewer surgical procedures (extraction and implantation in one session), shorter overall treatment time, immediate aesthetic restoration possible, and preservation of bone through immediate stimulation.

Question 4

Are immediate implants as safe as conventional implants?

Accepted Answer

With careful patient selection and precise execution, success rates are comparable to conventional implants. Not every patient is suitable – the dentist decides based on individual diagnostics.

Question 5

How long does healing take for immediate implants?

Accepted Answer

Osseointegration (fusion with the bone) also takes 3–6 months for immediate implants. The final crown is only placed after complete healing to ensure long-term success.
