Doing research on dental implants? Don’t rush into getting Permanent Teeth right after your procedure – learn the risks first!

Before rushing to get permanent teeth after dental implants, it is essential that you understand the potential risks associated with this decision. Here are three reasons why immediate placement of new teeth after surgery can be dangerous!

Introduction

When it comes to selecting a Center for Dental Implant Treatment, the process should be thoroughly researched and taken seriously. It is important for patients to familiarize themselves with the core values of each provider, as all centers have different approaches. Unknowingly, many individuals think they can attain permanent teeth immediately after surgery; while there are clinics that make this promise, we strongly believe it should be avoided!

At NoMo Dentures, we usually wait up to four months before finalizing the teeth. If you are looking for immediate results that make it possible to have permanent teeth just days after surgery, keep in mind there may be adverse consequences in the long run if proper care is not taken of your implant site.

Reason #1: Bone Integration Around Implants Takes 3 to 4 Months

First, it is important to note that immediate placement of teeth after surgery has not been rigorously tested in clinical trials or studies. With no scientific support for the claim that permanent teeth will successfully take hold after surgery, great care must be taken when considering such a costly and irreversible procedure. Healing of dental implants takes several months to settle before they can be used, and rushing the process could lead to bigger problems down the road. Most studies in implantology show that implant integration or osseous integration goes though many phases of healing until it reaches 3 to 4 month mark. In fact, within the first 30 days of implant placement, the implant can be at its weakest point of healing. Apart from the bone healing around the implants, there is a another critical aspect of recovery that requires patience and time to come into fruition – this is with regards to soft tissue or gum shrinkage.

Reason #2: Soft Tissue Integrations

Second reason why patients need to hold off before getting permanent teeth immediately is that

after any surgery the gums need 2-3 months to properly heal and recontour. This is simply biology. If you receive permanent teeth immediately after surgery, then it can result in sizeable gaps between the bridge and your gums. This will allow food to get stuck and make cleaning difficult. To prevent perio-implantitis or implant failure, a two to three month waiting period before taking the final impression is highly recommended. On the contrary, if you don’t take your time during this process, food may get stuck between your permanent teeth and healing gums. Without proper care, this could cause complications down the road.

Reason #3: Permanent teeth are made from heavy material like zirconia that can inflict grave harm to healing implants.

Finally, the third rationale to avoid speedy permanent teeth is due to a misconstrued air of assurance. Permanent teeth consist of heavy materials such as zirconia which can place further pressure on healing implants. When getting permanent teeth, individuals may have an unfounded belief that they are able to eat whatever comes their way – hence risking damaging the foundations under bridges unbeknownst to them in the process. That is why at NoMo Dentures, we don’t rush this process. As a result, we always check that implants have healed before taking the final impression. Do Implants fail? Yes they do, and some patients have a high risk for getting implants, that is why its so important to wait and verify that everything is healed.

In summation, prospective patients should be aware that if they opt for immediate permanent teeth, there could be serious outcomes in the long run. It is not unfeasible to experience pain and food impaction years after their procedure has been completed; this can often come as an unexpected shock for those seeking instant gratification. To ensure that you get the best results, NoMo Dentures recommends waiting four to three months before getting your permanent teeth. After all, you’re already waited a long time for this smile-transforming treatment – so why not wait just a few more months?
