When implants are placed at the same time as the tooth is removed such a procedure is known as Immediate Implants Placement. Today this procedure is considered standard as it prevents any change in the shape of bone and gum surrounding the extracted tooth. It is convenient for the patient as it allows the surgical treatment to be completed in one intervention. Only in a few cases, where there is a cyst or abscess in relation to a badly infected tooth, it is better to first remove the infected tooth and allow healing before the implant is placed.

A traditional implant treatment involved multiple appointments with treatment extending from 6 months to 1 year:

• Tooth extraction (wait for 3 months for implant placement).
• Implant placement (if immediate implant, at the same time as of extraction)
• Unloaded healing phase (6 weeks - 6 months)
• Uncovering of implants
• Prosthetic phase (wait for 3-6 months for fusion of implant in bone).

With conventional delayed loading implants patients would have to wait for a long time from the beginning to the end of treatment. Until then the patient had to wear a denture until the implants fused with the bone. With todays new generation immediately loadable “single piece implants” and our technique of “Permanent teeth in 3 Days” patients get their teeth fixed in 3 days.
