Immediate dental implant placement (Immediate Implant) is an advanced technique where the tooth extraction and implant post insertion are performed in a single surgical session.

What Are Immediate Dental Implants?
Traditional implant placement requires waiting 2 to 3 months after tooth extraction for the socket to heal before placing the implant post. With immediate dental implants, the dentist extracts the damaged tooth gently and immediately inserts the Titanium implant post into the fresh extraction socket. Where suitable, a temporary crown is attached on the same day, allowing patients to walk out with a complete smile.
Key Advantages of Immediate Dental Implants
Saves Time & Reduces Surgical Visits: Combines tooth extraction, implant placement, and temporary crown fitting into a single appointment, eliminating months of waiting.
Preserves Natural Bone and Gum Tissue: Placing the implant post right after extraction prevents immediate bone resorption and maintains the natural gum contour.
Minimizes Pain and Discomfort: Requires only one surgical session and one round of local anesthesia, significantly reducing post-operative soreness and swelling.
Immediate Aesthetic Restoration: Patients do not have to live with empty tooth gaps, maintaining confidence in daily communication and work.
Candidacy Requirements for Immediate Implants
Not every missing tooth case is suitable for immediate placement. Ideal candidates must meet the following medical criteria:
Sufficient Bone Density and Quality: The jawbone at the extraction site must be strong and thick enough to securely anchor the implant post.
No Active Severe Infection: The area surrounding the extracted tooth must be free from acute apical abscesses, severe periodontitis, or extensive infection.
Good Overall Health: Controlled blood pressure, no unmanaged systemic conditions (like uncontrolled diabetes), and non-smokers (or willing to pause smoking).
Immediate Dental Implant Protocol at Thuan Kieu Dental Clinic
3D CT Cone Beam Examination & Planning: The dentist evaluates bone volume, socket structure, and verifies eligibility for immediate placement.
Atraumatic Extraction & Implant Placement: The damaged tooth is extracted gently to preserve surrounding bone walls, followed immediately by implant post insertion.
Bone Grafting (if required): Any small gaps between the implant post and the extraction socket are filled with bone graft material.
Temporary Crown Attachment: A temporary crown or healing abutment is fitted to protect the site and ensure aesthetics.
Final Crown Placement: After 3 to 4 months of osseointegration, the permanent porcelain crown is fitted to complete the treatment.
