Walk in without teeth, walk out with a smile near Brentford. Immediate loading implants place a temporary crown or bridge on the same day as your implants.
Immediate loading (sometimes called same-day teeth) is an implant technique where a temporary crown or bridge is attached to the implant on the same day it is placed — so you leave the practice with a tooth rather than a gap. Not every patient is suitable, but for those who are, it significantly reduces the time you spend without a visible tooth.
After the implant is placed in the jaw, a temporary crown or bridge is attached the same day. This temporary restoration looks natural and protects the implant site during healing. After 3–6 months — once the implant has fully integrated with the bone — the temporary is replaced with a permanent crown or bridge.
Immediate loading requires excellent bone quality and volume, healthy gums, good oral hygiene, and specific implant positioning that can support the early load of a temporary crown. A thorough assessment including CBCT scan is essential to confirm suitability. Not all patients or all sites are appropriate — your implant dentist will advise.
The temporary crown is made from a durable tooth-coloured material and looks entirely natural. During the healing period, harder foods should be avoided on that side to protect the underlying implant.
