Dental implants are medical devices surgically implanted into the jaw to restore a person’s ability to chew or their appearance.

Which is better for you: immediate or delayed implants?

Immediate implants are placed at the same time as the decayed tooth is removed in the same sitting whereas delayed implants are placed after 3-6months of extraction of the decayed tooth. It will depend on various factors like infection in the affected area, your medical condition, your bone health, your other oral condition, and your personal tastes whether you choose an immediate or delayed implant.

At Complete Dental Care, we’ve put many implants and helped thousands of people get their smiles back.

Risks of not replacing the missing tooth

  • Loss of jaw bone
  • Getting older and losing face structure
  • Teeth on either side of the space will move and become loose.
  • Changes to how you bite and chew
  • Getting sick
  • Periodontitis and gum disease

To protect the structure and health of your mouth as a whole, replacing a lost tooth is a good idea.
