Same Day Tooth Replacements with IDR Treatment

Dental implants are the premium option for tooth replacement. If you need a tooth removed and want to have it replaced with a dental implant, many advanced dental implant centers can complete the extraction and implant procedure on the same day. However, if you have bone loss, the procedure can require bone grafting and extra steps to complete the tooth restoration. At Ora Dentistry, we are one of the few dental and implant centers that can perform same-day extraction, grafting, and implant tooth restorations with the IDR procedure.

What Is IDR Treatment?

Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration (IDR) technique was developed by Dr. José Carlos Martins da Rosa and has been used by Dr. Dalla at Ora Dentistry for years. This is an advanced treatment for patients who have bone loss but desire a dental implant. Instead of extracting the tooth and performing a bone graft with bone harvested from the chin or other areas, this procedure harvests bone from the upper jaw at the same time as the extraction procedure. This allows for the dental implant to be placed on the same day and has other benefits.

Advantages of IDR Treatment

For those periodontal disease or other types of bone loss in the jaw, dental implant tooth restorations can be complicated. Without using the IDR technique, it can require multiple visits to prepare the problematic tooth socket for receiving the dental implant. Patients may need to wait weeks or longer to receive their tooth restoration, leaving a gap in their smile and a lack of function.

IDR treatment is a less invasive and more efficient option for dental implant tooth restoration. Compared to the traditional method of bone grafting for compromised tooth sockets, this method using the jaw fragment for grafting and to create the new crown takes less time and is less invasive for the patient. Instead of multiple visits to complete the extraction, bone harvesting, grafting, and dental implant, Dr. Dalla can perform all the steps in one visit. This minimizes time spent in a dental chair and reduces the recovery time for the patient.

One-Day Dental Implants

If you have been told you have bone loss from gum disease or other conditions and will require a bone graft for dental implant placement, IDR treatment may be right for you. This procedure can reduce the risk of complications during the harvesting, grafting, and implant placement, and during recovery. Since there are fewer visits needed, this procedure is also cost-effective compared to traditional methods. Not all dentists who offer dental implants can perform this advanced technique, but it is available through Dr. Dalla at Ora Dentistry.
