SINGLE-STAGE IMPLANT
What are immediate-load implants and how do they work?
Immediate-load implants are titanium implants that are placed and loaded with a temporary crown in the same session. Unlike the conventional protocol, there is no waiting period without a tooth: the patient leaves the clinic with a functional implant and crown the same day.
When is it the right solution?
- Loss of one or more teeth with good bone density
- Need for a fast, functional solution
- Cases where a period without a tooth must be avoided
- Bone with adequate primary stability
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Immediate-load options available
We offer different protocols depending on the number of teeth and each patient’s bone situation.
MOST REQUESTED
Immediate single implant
One missing tooth solved in one visit
- To replace a single tooth
- Temporary crown the same day
- Without affecting neighboring teeth
Multiple immediate load
Several implants in a single session
- Multiple missing teeth in one arch
- A coordinated, efficient protocol
- Fast rehabilitation of the affected area
Immediate post-extraction implant
Extraction and implant in the same appointment

PROCESS
What the immediate-load implant process looks like
A precise, efficient protocol in a single main session, supported by advanced digital planning.
1
Evaluation and 3D diagnosis
Clinical exam and CT scan to confirm the case is suitable and digitally plan the implant position.
2
Implant planning
Virtual design of the exact position to guarantee optimal primary stability from the very first moment.
3
Implant placement
Insertion of the titanium implant under local anesthesia with the utmost care and surgical precision.
4
Temporary crown the same day
Before you leave the clinic, we place the functional temporary crown on the newly placed implant.
TECHNOLOGY
Technology that guarantees immediate-load success
Immediate loading requires very precise planning. We use 3D imaging to assess the bone and confirm that the case is suitable, guaranteeing the primary stability needed to place the temporary crown safely.
- CBCT scan to assess bone density
- Implant position planning software
- Primary stability verification protocol
ARE YOU A CANDIDATE?
Who can receive an immediate-load implant?
Not every case is suitable for immediate loading. A clinical and radiological evaluation is required to confirm that the bone has sufficient quality and quantity to support the load from day one.
- Good jawbone density and volume
- No active infections or severe gum disease
- Good general health, non-smoker or light smoker
- Commitment to following the post-operative protocol

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions about immediate-load implants
Can anyone receive an immediate-load implant?
Not every case is suitable. Good bone density, no active infections and adequate general health are required. An evaluation with a 3D scan determines whether your case is a good fit for this protocol.
How long does the temporary crown stay on?
The temporary crown stays on during the osseointegration period, which usually lasts 3 to 6 months. Once the implant is fully integrated with the bone, the high-quality final crown is placed.
Can I eat normally after the procedure?
A soft diet is recommended during the first weeks so as not to overload the implant. You will gradually return to a normal diet following the instructions of the specialist who performed the procedure.
What is the difference between immediate load and a conventional implant?
With conventional implants there is a 3-to-6-month wait between implant placement and the crown. With immediate loading, the implant and temporary crown are placed in the same session, eliminating that period without a tooth.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under effective local anesthesia. There is no pain during surgery. Mild discomfort may occur in the first days, easily managed with the pain relievers prescribed by the specialist.
How long does an immediate-load implant last?
With proper care and regular check-ups, immediate-load implants last as long as conventional ones and can last a lifetime. The key is following the post-operative protocol.
