Immediate-Load Implants in the News

We know implants are the best possible option for edentulous patients. But it’s always nice to see additional clinical proof to back up our implant commitment.

According to several studies published in the Journal of Oral Implantology, immediate-load implants in healthy patients are successful and remain functional after 30 months of follow-up.

This is a very good thing for implant doctors when speaking with patients. Stressing the benefit of stopping bone loss in the jaw is an important part of Implant Greenlight Case Presentation™. With immediate-load cases, it’s possible to place implants at the time of extraction, thus minimizing bone loss as much as possible.

And of course, there are other benefits as well. Patients save time and money with immediate-load cases because of the shorter treatment time. For any patient considering implants, both are huge deciding factors!
