Your complete in office exam which includes xrays and a CBCT, will provide the necessary information, should you require grafting or not. Some people need hard or soft tissue grafts. Implant surgery may require additional procedures such as bone grafting, soft tissue grafting, ridge splitting or sinus lift.
 
I have a denture. I was told by putting implants, my existing denture can be attached to the implants. How it is working?
Implant supported dentures usually work by placing 2-4 implants in each jaw, we can attach your existing denture which alleviates most of the existing movement patients are unhappy with.  However, sometimes old dentures are not strong enough for such a forces and they may break.

The answer for many cases is no . Dental implant needs time and should be totally fixed to be integrated to the bone ( Like a broken arm). Immediate loading by putting crown, specially on the top of single implant, can causes micro-movement which reduces the chance of integration of the implant dramatically. tooth in a day usually is used for the concept of “All on Four”  when four implants in different directions can hold a denture or bridge. Even in this concept, patients should follow a special soft diet carefully at least for two months.
In most cases the immediate crown on the top of single implant works just as a decoration and should not be functional.

Researches show that implant can work for a long time. However we do not have data to support such a claim. The success rate of dental implant is %80 for 20 years period. It means 1 out of 5 implants can fail within 20 years. Dental implant needs special care and cleaning to last long.

Two appointments are necessary:

• The first appointment : Surgically placing the implant ( Fixture)+ healing cap
• The second appointment : Exposing the implant and placing the abutment and Crown on the top of the implant (4-6 months after the day of surgery).

Between these two appointments, your implant should be checked every one or two months to evaluate the healing of soft and hard tissue.
