Immediate Implants in Las Palmas
Have you lost a tooth and need to find a quick and effective solution? Immediate implants are the best alternative because they restore the natural function and aesthetics of your smile in less than 24 hours.
Most of the time, losing a tooth causes such a feeling of insecurity that it leads to no longer smiling, not only in photos but also in real life. As experts in dental implants in Las Palmas, we can say that the problem goes beyond aesthetics and the resulting lack of self-esteem. Missing teeth often cause problems related to speech, chewing and even breathing, and it is important to fix them as soon as possible.
Treatment of dental implants in a single day in Las Palmas
In the past, the most common way to rehabilitate the teeth when they had been lost was to use removable prostheses (dentures). However, this system has some disadvantages, especially when compared to dental implants.
An implant acts as an artificial tooth root: it’s inserted into the jawbone and a crown that mimics the look of the tooth is placed on top of it. Implants go completely unnoticed in the mouth, allow you to eat any food and are attached to the bone, making them a comfortable and long-term stable solution. Implants integrate completely with the bone, which allows them to blend in with the adjacent teeth and offer full chewing function.
The immediate loading technique makes it possible to place implants in a single day, which means patients can recover their smile quickly and comfortably. Immediate implants reduce the waiting time between implant placement and the final restoration, resulting in a more convenient and satisfying experience for the patient.
In addition, immediate loading implants can be especially beneficial in cases where urgent dental restoration is required, such as the loss of visible front teeth. With this innovative technique, patients can experience a significant improvement in their quality of life and oral well-being in a short period of time. Immediate loading implants offer an effective and lasting solution to restore dental function and aesthetics.
Difference between immediate and traditional implants
It is normally necessary to wait three to six months after the procedure before the crown can be placed on the implant. The main advantage of immediate loading implants is that they allow us to place a temporary crown on the newly inserted implant. Once these three months have passed, we place the definitive prosthesis.
With this technique, we ensure that the patient does not have to wait so long to recover the look of their smile and the functions of the lost tooth or teeth. From the moment of the procedure, they will be able to smile normally again.
Immediate loading implants are one of the most recommended and also most chosen solutions at our dental clinic in Las Palmas for replacing lost teeth, since great results can be achieved in a single appointment.

Immediate implant placement process in Las Palmas
The process we follow at our dental clinic in Las Palmas to place the immediate loading implants is as follows:
1
Diagnosis
The first step before placing immediate loading implants is to check the patient’s oral health to confirm that there are no gum problem or lack of bone surface. Both issues are an obstacle for this type of treatment and would have to be solved beforehand.
2
Tooth extraction
Once it is determined that the patient is suitable for immediate loading implants, we proceed with the extraction of the non-restorable tooth. If there is no tooth, we proceed with the placement of the implant.
3
Screw placement using guided surgery
At Brånemark Las Palmas we work with the latest advances in dental implantology. For screw placement we use guided surgery, a technology that allows us to place immediate implants on the same day with maximum precision and safety.
4
Placement of the temporary prosthesis
Next, the temporary prosthesis that simulates the natural tooth is fitted onto the screw. Thanks to this technique, the patient can go home with the full function and aesthetics of their smile.
5
Placement of the definitive prosthesis
The definitive prosthesis or crown has the same characteristics as the temporary one, but is made of other materials. The switch from one to the other takes place after the osseointegration time required in each case.
6
Check-ups and personal care
To make sure everything progresses correctly, it is important that the patient visits the dentist at the scheduled appointments to check the condition of the implant and avoid complications.
How do I know if I am suitable for immediate implants?
As we have already mentioned, having optimal oral conditions is essential to proceed with the placement of immediate implants. Any adult patient can opt for immediate implants, as long as they:
- Do not have any periodontal disease. If this is the case, it will be necessary to first heal the gums with periodontal treatment.
- Have no risk factors (uncontrolled systemic diseases, such as hypertension, osteoporosis, pregnancy…). It is important to review your medical history with the dentist to confirm that immediate loading implants are not contraindicated in your case.
- Have sufficient bone density in the jaw. Having the right amount of bone is necessary for the osseointegration of the dental implant. If this is not the case, at our center we can also carry out a preliminary bone regeneration treatment through oral surgery.
In any case, it is essential to resolve any oral health problems before starting implant treatment. Our experts will assess your case in a personalized way to check whether you are eligible for this treatment.
