Immediate Load Dental Implants - Hixson, TN

Have you just been told that you are going to lose a tooth? For many patients, this is distressing news, especially if it is going to be one of your front teeth. Your dentist might suggest a flipper, a partial denture, a bridge, or retainer to replace the tooth temporarily until the extraction site heals, which might take anywhere from eight to 12 months. The great news is, there is a faster solution to tooth loss—immediate load implants. Dental implants look, feel, and function much like a natural tooth. An immediate dental implant is placed in the jawbone on the day of tooth extraction. This implant will then be outfitted with a crown or bridge that will seamlessly blend in with the rest of your teeth to restore your natural smile. This procedure can be performed under oral or IV sedation. Imagine coming in for your appointment to an office where sedation is an option. Your tooth could be removed and replaced while you are “asleep,” and you could wake up to a brand new tooth without remembering or feeling a thing!
