“The best things in life come to those who wait” may be true for some things, but not when it comes to getting your smile back. If you’ve heard it takes up to 10+ months to get permanent teeth with full mouth dental implants, you haven’t been told the full truth. At Nuvia you can get immediate load dental implants with permanent teeth in 24 hours.
Stick around to find out how.
What is Immediate Loading?
When dental implants are placed, they need time to integrate with the jawbone. Traditionally, this meant delaying the final set of teeth for what could be up to 10+ months while the implants healed.
Patients were left wearing temporary acrylic teeth that weren’t customized. Patients have described these teeth as “bulky” and “awkward”.
Immediate loading at Nuvia changes that.
Instead of waiting months for a final set of teeth, patients receive their permanent zirconia teeth within 24 hours of dental implant placement. The practice of having patients wait until they’re fully healed before getting their final teeth is an old one that has proven unnecessary.
Think of it like a hip replacement—patients are encouraged to start walking as soon as possible, they aren’t told to stay on bed rest for months, they are encouraged to be up and walking as soon as they feel able.
How Do Immediate Load Dental Implants Work?
Day 1: Any remaining teeth are removed and dental implants are placed into the jawbone during a single procedure that patients comfortably sleep through.
Day 2: A custom-designed, permanent set of teeth made from zirconia is attached. Simple as that.
By immediately loading dental implants, patients are able to adjust to having a mouth full of teeth again and begin using them on a soft food diet right away.
Immediate vs Delayed Loading
Delayed loading refers to the traditional approach of dental implants when a bulky temporary set of teeth is given to a patient until the healing period is complete. This could mean waiting up to 10+ months for a permanent set of teeth.
For many people the traditional approach can just feel frustrating—it could also mean having to adjust to a temporary denture only to have to start all over again months later with the permanent teeth.
You don’t have to go through that.
Who is a Candidate for Immediate Load Dental Implants?
Most people dealing with severe tooth loss, failing teeth, or dentures are good candidates for immediate loading, but especially if they’re looking for a permanent solution.
Here are some factors for candidates to consider:
Sufficient Bone Density – The dental implants need enough jawbone support to stay stable. Advanced imaging helps determine this when patients come in for a consultation. If there isn’t enough bone for even All-on-4® dental implants, zygomatic ones could also be an option for the top set of teeth.
No Uncontrolled Medical Conditions – Issues like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking can contribute to dental implant failure and could disqualify someone from being a candidate for full mouth dental implants.
You may also be a candidate if any of these ring true for you:
- You’re tired of dentures and want something that stays in place.
- You don’t want to wait months for final teeth.
- You want to eat normally again as soon as possible.
- You're tired of dental pain and frequent visits to the dentist trying to patch each tooth.
- You want a smile that you love.
