Our Immediate Load Dental Implants Treatments

Recovery time for Immediate Load Dental Implants is significantly shorter compared to traditional implants, with patients typically returning to normal activities within 24-48 hours. Unlike conventional implants that require 3-6 months of healing before fitting the final crown, immediate load implants allow for the placement of a temporary crown on the same day as the implant surgery.

The healing process continues beneath the surface as osseointegration occurs, but patients can eat, speak, and smile confidently almost immediately. While soft foods are recommended for the first 6-8 weeks, the visible recovery period is minimal compared to traditional methods which often require multiple surgeries and extended periods without teeth.

• First 24-48 hours:
  
  
  
  • Minor swelling and discomfort manageable with over-the-counter pain relief
  
  
  • Return to normal daily activities
  
  
  • Temporary crown already in place
  
  
  
  



• First 6-8 weeks:
  
  
  
  • Soft food diet recommended
  
  
  • Gentle oral hygiene routine
  
  
  • Regular daily activities without restrictions
  
  
  
  



• 3-6 months:
  
  
  
  • Complete bone integration occurs
  
  
  • Placement of final permanent crown
  
  
  • Full chewing function restored
  
  
  
  

London Dental Specialists provide comprehensive aftercare support and a 10-year warranty on all dental implants, ensuring peace of mind throughout your recovery journey. Patients can contact our specialist team at any time for support or guidance during the healing process.

To be eligible for immediate load dental implants, patients must have adequate bone density and volume in their jaw to support the immediate placement and loading of the implant. The most crucial requirement is achieving sufficient primary stability during implant placement, typically requiring a minimum insertion torque of 35Ncm. Good overall oral health and healthy gum tissue are also essential prerequisites.

Candidates should have no active periodontal disease, good oral hygiene habits, and be non-smokers or willing to stop smoking during the treatment period. The bone quality should ideally be type D2 or D3, providing the optimal foundation for immediate loading.

Key Eligibility Requirements:

• Sufficient bone density and volume


• Healthy gum tissue


• No active gum disease


• Good oral hygiene practices


• Non-smoking status or willingness to quit


• Good general health without uncontrolled medical conditions

Medical Considerations:

• Well-controlled diabetes (if applicable)


• No history of radiation therapy to the jaw area


• No severe bruxism (teeth grinding)


• Adequate immune system function

At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive evaluations to determine your suitability for immediate load implants, backed by our 10-year warranty on dental implants. Our experienced team uses advanced 3D imaging technology to assess bone quality and plan precise implant placement for optimal results.

During immediate load dental implant treatment, patients typically experience minimal to moderate discomfort both during and after the procedure. The treatment itself is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during the implant placement. Most patients report feeling only slight pressure and vibration during the procedure, similar to having a routine filling.

Post-treatment discomfort usually peaks within the first 48-72 hours and gradually subsides over the following week. Common sensations include mild swelling, bruising around the implant site, and some tenderness when eating. These symptoms are typically well-managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

• During Treatment:
  
  
  
  • Local anaesthesia ensures comfort throughout the procedure
  
  
  • Procedure typically takes 2-3 hours
  
  
  • Patients remain conscious but comfortable
  
  
  
  



• Immediate Post-Treatment (First 24-48 hours):
  
  
  
  • Mild to moderate swelling
  
  
  • Some tenderness around the implant site
  
  
  • Possible minor bleeding
  
  
  
  



• Recovery Period (1-2 weeks):
  
  
  
  • Gradually decreasing discomfort
  
  
  • Reduced swelling
  
  
  • Return to normal eating patterns
  
  
  
  

Our 10-year warranty provides peace of mind, and our team is always available to address any concerns during your recovery period. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within 1-2 days after the procedure, though individual experiences may vary.

Immediate Load Dental Implants typically last 20-25 years or longer with proper care and maintenance. The longevity largely depends on maintaining excellent oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and following post-treatment care instructions carefully.

Immediate Load Dental Implants in London typically cost between £2,500 to £4,000 per tooth, with full arch treatments ranging from £12,000 to £25,000. The exact price varies depending on the complexity of the case, number of implants needed, and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are required.

These advanced dental implants allow patients to receive their replacement teeth on the same day as implant placement, significantly reducing the traditional waiting period of 3-6 months. The procedure involves placing the implant and attaching a temporary crown immediately, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits.

• Single tooth replacement: £2,500 - £4,000


• Multiple teeth (2-3 teeth): £5,000 - £9,000


• Full upper or lower arch: £12,000 - £15,000


• Complete full mouth restoration: £20,000 - £25,000

Factors affecting the final cost include:

• Number of teeth requiring replacement


• Complexity of the procedure


• Need for preparatory treatments


• Type of restoration material chosen


• Location of the implant in the mouth

All immediate load dental implants come with a comprehensive 10-year warranty, ensuring long-term peace of mind for patients. Post-treatment care includes regular check-ups and professional cleaning to maintain optimal oral health and implant longevity.

Immediate Load Dental Implants differ fundamentally from conventional implants in their timing and restoration process. While traditional implants typically require a 3-6 month healing period before attaching replacement teeth, immediate load implants allow for the placement of temporary teeth on the same day as implant surgery. This innovative approach enables patients to leave the dental clinic with functional, aesthetic teeth immediately after the implant procedure.

The key distinction lies in the specialised surgical technique and advanced implant design that allows for immediate function. These implants are specifically engineered to achieve sufficient primary stability during placement, enabling them to support temporary teeth whilst the permanent bone integration occurs.

• Treatment Timeline Comparison:
  
  
  
  • Immediate Load: Same-day temporary teeth, final restoration in 3-4 months
  
  
  • Conventional: 3-6 months waiting period before any teeth are attached
  
  
  
  


• Key Requirements for Immediate Loading:
  
  
  
  • Adequate bone density and quality
  
  
  • Absence of active infection
  
  
  • Good overall oral health

The long-term stability and success of Immediate Load Dental Implants primarily depends on several key biological and mechanical factors. Initial bone quality and quantity in the jaw are crucial determinants, with dense bone (D2 or D3 type) providing the optimal foundation for immediate loading. The implant's primary stability, achieved through precise surgical placement and adequate torque, serves as the cornerstone for successful osseointegration.

Patient-specific factors play an equally vital role in determining implant stability. These include overall oral health, smoking status, and the presence of conditions like bruxism (teeth grinding) that can affect implant longevity.

• Critical Biological Factors:
  
  
  
  • Bone density and volume at the implant site
  
  
  • Healthy soft tissue architecture
  
  
  • Proper blood supply to the surrounding tissues
  
  
  
  



• Technical Considerations:
  
  
  
  • Implant position and angulation
  
  
  • Initial stability measurement (minimum 35 Ncm torque)
  
  
  • Prosthetic fit and occlusal loading
  
  
  
  



• Post-Treatment Care:
  
  
  
  • Regular dental hygiene maintenance
  
  
  • Periodic professional check-ups
  
  
  • Avoiding excessive forces during initial healing
