Same Day Tooth Replacement

If someone loses a tooth, there may be a chance that they can get your tooth replaced with an ‘immediate’ dental implant!

When are immediate implants possible?

There are two key conditions that have to be met to make an immediate implant possible:

• The bone around the failing tooth must be intact;
• The gum and surrounding area must be infection free.

At the initial consult appointment, Dr. Salloum will perform an intraoral examination and order a 3D CBCT to determine if you are a candidate for immediate dental implant placement.

Using this advanced imaging technology, doctors can evaluate your bone volume, gum, and implant placement virtually.  This will improve the success rate of immediate tooth replacement significantly.

If both these conditions are met, then it is possible to carefully extract the root and immediately put an implant directly into the tooth socket.  If the implant is sufficiently secure in the bone we can also put the titanium post in place and put a temporary crown on top. This treatment means that the patient can literally come to the clinic with a failed tooth and leave a short while later with a new implant tooth in place.
