Latest technology and advances allow for immediate implant loading, which is a procedure done for patients that are having a full upper or lower clearance and implant placement simultaneously, or in the case of patients that have a full upper or lower denture and wish to change over to and implant supported structure. In some cases this can be done for front teeth, implants as well. What immediate implant loading means is, that 48 hours after your implants have been placed Dr Thandar can place a temporary implant bridge. The temporary structure is usually left for a period of 3 months before it is replaced by the permanent structure.
We utilise both Southern and Nobel Biocare implants. All patients undergoing extensive implant placement are sent for a CT scan with SIMPLANT formatting, and in some cases to an ENT surgeon to ensure that the nasal sinuses are in order.
There are 3 options when it comes to implant structures:
First option
A removable denture that is fit onto implant attachments, this offers maximum support for dentures - the dentures will be able to come in and out.
Second option
A Fixed Structure that resembles a denture, this is a non removable structure that provides good aesthetics and good functionality.
Third option
Fixed Implant Bridge - this option closely resembles natural teeth and offers the best in aesthetics, strength and durability. Full Ceramic - metal free implant components are utilized for most implant cases followed by full ceramic crowns, yielding the best aesthetic result without any compromise to the functionality of the implant.
