Rebuild Your Smile and Function with Immediate Dental Implants

Do you have a failing tooth? Immediate dental implants in Abingdon, Virginia, can restore your smile without the traditional wait. Instead of waiting months to restore your smile, immediate load implants from Abingdon Smiles replace your tooth immediately after extraction. Get started with same-day dental implants by scheduling an appointment with Dr. French Moore III and his team.

What are immediate dental implants?

A dental implant is an excellent solution for missing teeth. Unlike traditional teeth replacements, dental implants don’t move or fall out, even when eating apples, steak, and other tough foods! Dental implants also last many years and provide unique benefits like jawbone preservation.

Our dental office understands you wouldn’t like to live even a day without teeth. Our immediate dental implants allow the dentist to place and restore your implant on the same day. After the surgical implantation, the dentist will restore your implant with a temporary restoration to rebuild your aesthetics and function during healing.

How are same-day dental implants placed?

Your treatment starts with a consultation to examine your oral health. If your tooth is irreparably damaged, we’ll extract it gently by blending modern pain-management solutions with gentle techniques. Conventional implants are placed three months after extraction. However, same-day dental implants are placed immediately after extraction as long as you have healthy bone, and the extraction site is infection-free. If you smoke or drink heavily, you’ll need to stop these habits to promote healing after surgery.

The dentist surgically places a titanium post in the exact location your tooth used to be. Then, the dentist places an abutment and restores your implant with a temporary prosthesis. Over the next few months, your dental implant will fuse with the jawbone to form a rock-solid foundation. After healing, you’ll return to our dental office, where we’ll replace the temporary restoration with a permanent crown.

What are the benefits of immediate-load dental implants?

Immediate load implants are a versatile solution for replacing a single tooth or restoring an entire smile. Here are the key benefits of choosing immediate implants.

  • Immediate placement: In most cases, you’ll only need one surgical procedure.
  • Jawbone preservation: Dental implants prevent jawbone deterioration by stimulating the bone and maintaining its density. Immediate placement accelerates this process, reducing the risk of bone loss that can occur with missing teeth.
  • Reduced treatment time: Traditional implants require at least 2 surgeries and healing times before a restoration can be placed. Immediate implants shorten this timeline, minimizing multiple surgical visits.
  • Minimized discomfort: With fewer surgical stages and a streamlined procedure, your immediate implant can reduce post-operative discomfort and recovery time.
