Dental implants require a healing period of 3 months before the placement and functioning of the prosthesis. During this period, the patient needs a temporary solution to maintain a normal social life.

In the meantime, we offer temporary solutions. However, they are not always very comfortable. For example, a bonded bridge presents the risk of coming loose. Similarly, a removable prosthesis can cause pronunciation issues and be very uncomfortable.

In some cases, we can perform the immediate placement of a fixed temporary prosthesis on the same day as the implant placement, known as immediate loading. Indeed, this procedure allows for extraction, implantation, and placement of the prosthesis in a single session. Thus, the patient arrives with their compromised teeth and leaves with a fixed prosthesis on the implants.

Although this procedure is well described and codified, it requires certain precautions. Nonetheless, it remains the most comfortable option and does not present significantly more risks.
