Immediate Load Implants in Las Palmas: Your Smile in 1 Day

Losing teeth can cause insecurity, make chewing difficult, and often affects how we interact with others. Until a few years ago, restoring a fixed smile involved a lengthy process, forcing patients to wear uncomfortable removable dentures for months. Today, modern dentistry has changed the game.

A medical treatment such as Dental Implants immediate loading has become the ultimate revolution for those seeking to restore their dentition quickly, aesthetically, and effectively. This technological advancement allows us to extract the damaged tooth, place the implant, and fix a provisional tooth in less than 24 hours. always subject to a prior medical assessment confirming the suitability of the case.

At Nubis Dental Clinic, located in the heart of Guanarteme (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria), we explain how to join the "Teeth in 1 Day" technique with the utmost safety and clinical rigour that only an elite medical team can offer you.

What exactly are "Teeth in a Day"?

To understand immediate loading, we must first be familiar with the traditional protocol. Usually, after placing a titanium screw in the jawbone, it is necessary to wait for a period of between 3 and 9 months (osseointegration) before the definitive crown can be screwed in. During that time, the patient had to make do with a removable prosthesis or an aesthetic gap.

With the immediate loading technique, times are drastically compressed. On the same day as the surgery (or within a maximum of 24 hours), we fix a fixed, aesthetic provisional prosthesis onto the newly placed implant.

It is essential to clarify that these teeth are provisional. They are designed in high-quality resin or acrylic to immediately restore your aesthetics and phonetics, but they are not intended for heavy chewing. Once the months required for the implant to fuse definitively with the bone have passed, this provisional prosthesis will be replaced by the final porcelain or zirconia crown, which will last you a lifetime.

Key benefits compared to traditional implantology

Whilst the main attraction is leaving with a new smile on the same afternoon as the procedure, the medical and psychological benefits of this technique go far beyond that.

Instant aesthetics and self-esteem: You won't go a single day without teeth. Regaining the ability to smile with confidence from minute one has a transformative effect on our patients' self-esteem.
Gingival preservation (Pink Aesthetics): By immediately placing the provisional crown, we guide the gum healing around the new tooth. This shapes the soft tissue and ensures the final result is completely natural and harmonious.
Absolute comfort: Say goodbye to removable dentures that rub, move when you talk, cause sores, or alter the taste of food.
A single surgical procedure In most cases, we perform the extraction of the damaged tooth and the placement of the implant in the same surgical act, reducing stress, the use of anaesthesia, and recovery times.

Am I a good candidate for 24-hour implants?

At Nubis Dental, our priority is your long-term health. That's why we're very honest: not all patients are candidates for immediate loading. To ensure the implant doesn't fail, certain biological requirements must be met, which our team meticulously assesses:

Primary Stability It is the most critical factor. When placing the implant, it must be securely "gripped" by the maxillary or mandibular bone. If the bone is soft or insufficient, it will not support the load of the temporary prosthesis.
Absence of infection The area to be treated must be free of severe active infectious foci.
Patient's habits: Severe cases of bruxism (teeth grinding) or excessive smoking can compromise the technique and require different approaches.

Should our study reveal that you don't have sufficient bone, we must be honest: the 'teeth in 24 hours' technique wouldn't be safe for you at this time. However, we won't leave you without options. As experts in Advanced Oral SurgeryWe will prepare the ground beforehand using bone regeneration techniques or sinus lifts. We will create a solid foundation and, once your bone is strong, we will proceed with the placement of your implants with a total guarantee of success.

The Immediate Loading process step-by-step at Nubis Dental

3D Diagnostic Study (Free) We perform a three-dimensional CT scan to accurately measure the density and height of your maxillary bone with millimetre precision.
Surgical Planning We planned the surgery, determining the exact inclination and position of the implant to avoid nervous structures.
Intervention and PRP: Under local anaesthetic, we place the implant in a minimally invasive way. If the case requires it, we use Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) obtained from your own blood to naturally accelerate tissue healing.
Temporary Prosthesis Placement: At that same moment, or a few hours later, we screwed on the custom-made provisional fixed crown.
Fitting of the Definitive Prosthesis: After the necessary time for osseointegration, we will take definitive measurements and fit your final teeth, which will be high-strength and aesthetically perfect.

Post-operative care: Your commitment is key

The success of an immediate load is a team effort between the surgeon and the patient. During the first two months, the implant is vulnerable. Therefore, we will ask you to follow these guidelines:

Bland Diet It's the golden rule. The temporary prosthesis is for aesthetics, not for chewing. You must avoid hard foods (nuts, sandwiches, biting into apples) so as not to transmit excessive forces to the implant while it integrates with the bone. Chewing something hard during this critical period can lead to implant failure and loss.
Strict hygiene We will teach you specific brushing techniques and the use of special mouthwashes to keep your gums free from bacteria.
Prescribed medication: We will provide you with a medical protocol to ensure a manageable post-operative period and control the natural inflammation of the process.

Preguntas Frecuentes

Will I feel pain during the procedure?

No. The entire process is carried out under advanced local anaesthesia protocols. You will feel pressure or vibration, but no pain. During the post-operative period, it is normal to notice slight swelling or discomfort, which is perfectly controlled with the prescribed medication.

Can it be done on the whole mouth or just one tooth?

Immediate loading is very versatile. It can be applied to replace a single tooth (especially in the visible smile zone), for multi-tooth bridges, or for full arch rehabilitations (using All-on-4, All-on-6 or All-on-X techniques).

What happens if the implant doesn't integrate?

Our success rate is excellent thanks to rigorous 3D planning beforehand. However, medicine is not an exact science. If an implant fails to integrate with the bone, it is simply removed, the area is left to heal for a few weeks, and a new one is fitted at no extra cost to you.
