Immediate Implants: Same-Day Tooth Replacement

​

When a tooth needs to be extracted, waiting months for healing before getting an implant can feel frustrating—especially when it affects your smile or ability to eat comfortably. At Pearl Family Dental, Dr. Saravana offers immediate implant placement, allowing you to leave with a replacement tooth the same day as your extraction.

​

For any implant treatment to be successful, the implant needs to be placed in the correct position for us to restore it with teeth. Secondly, the implant needs to be anchored in tightly so that the body can heal around it. In some instances this might not be possible and we might need to stage your procedure.

​

How Immediate Implants Work: During your appointment, Dr. Saravana carefully removes the damaged tooth and immediately places a dental implant in the same socket. In many cases, a temporary crown can be attached right away, so you won't have to go without a tooth while healing occurs. Over the following months, the implant integrates with your jawbone, providing a permanent foundation for your final restoration.

​

The Benefits: Immediate implants offer several advantages over traditional approaches. You'll experience fewer appointments, reduced healing time, and better preservation of your jawbone and gum tissue. Most importantly, you can maintain your confidence and normal eating habits without the gap that typically follows tooth extraction.

​

Are You a Candidate?: Not every situation is suitable for immediate implant placement. Dr. Saravana will carefully evaluate factors like bone density, infection levels, and your overall oral health to determine if this approach is right for you. When conditions are favorable, immediate implants can be an excellent solution that saves both time and preserves your natural facial structure.

​

Experience Matters: As someone who routinely places implants as part of his daily practice, Dr. Saravana has the expertise to assess whether immediate placement is appropriate for your specific situation. His comprehensive approach means you'll receive honest guidance about whether immediate implants or traditional staged treatment will give you the best long-term results.

Don't let tooth loss disrupt your life longer than necessary. Schedule a consultation to see if immediate implants could be the right solution for you.
