An immediate implant is a dental implant placed directly into the socket left by an extracted tooth, without waiting for complete bone healing. This revolutionary technique significantly reduces overall treatment time, from several months to just a few weeks. At Longchamp Dental Clinic in Casablanca, we have perfected this advanced technique and offer this solution to our patients when conditions permit.
Advantages include: remarkable time savings, minimization of bone loss that naturally occurs after extraction, huge psychological comfort (no period without tooth), and better aesthetic integration as the natural socket guides implant position. Patients avoid the embarrassment of being without a tooth for several months.
Immediate implant is only possible if: the tooth to be extracted is in good structural condition without advanced infection, bone around the tooth is sufficient and good quality, and patient has good oral hygiene and acceptable general health. Our team will conduct complete evaluation with 3D scanning to determine feasibility.
The tooth is extracted gently to preserve maximum bone tissue. The site is prepared and cleaned immediately. The implant is inserted with very precise positioning. Sometimes, if the socket is too large, bone-filling material stabilizes the implant. A temporary crown may be placed immediately, although often a definitive crown will be placed after a few months.
The first 24 hours are critical: complete rest and avoid hot, hard, or spicy foods. Swelling and slight bruising are normal in first 3-5 days. Strictly follow hygiene: rinse with warm salt water, no toothbrush for two weeks. Avoid tobacco and alcohol for one week. Take prescribed medications exactly as directed.
Success rates for immediate implants are excellent (95-98%) when correctly performed by experienced dentist. Success depends largely on adherence to post-operative instructions. At Longchamp Dental, our patients with immediate implants report very high satisfaction, rapid return to normal function, and excellent aesthetic results.
If extraction reveals advanced infection or significantly deteriorated bone, conventional approach (waiting 3-6 months) may be more appropriate. Prior bone grafting may be recommended. Waiting in these cases allows better long-term results. Our experienced team will evaluate your situation and recommend optimal approach.
