What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a fantastic, long-lasting solution for missing teeth. They involve surgically placing a titanium post into your jawbone, which serves as a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth, bridge, or denture. After the implant has integrated with your jawbone, a custom-made restoration is attached to complete your smile.
But here’s the best part: at 3 Step Smiles, you don’t have to wait weeks or months without teeth while this process unfolds. Thanks to cutting-edge technology and advanced techniques like guided surgery, they can often provide you with a temporary tooth immediately after implant placement.

The Process
1. 3D X-Ray Scanning — They start by taking a detailed 3D X-ray of your jaw. This creates a comprehensive map of your mouth, allowing them to plan the implant placement with pinpoint accuracy.
2. Digital Planning — Using computer software, they create a 3D model of your mouth. This helps them determine the exact position for your implant, ensuring they avoid critical structures like nerves and maximise stability.
3. Custom Surgical Guide — The digital plan is used to create a physical guide that acts as a “GPS” during surgery, ensuring the implant is placed precisely where it needs to be.
4. Pre-Made Temporary Teeth — With the digital plan in place, they can pre-fabricate your temporary tooth or teeth before your surgery even begins. That means you’ll leave your appointment with a full smile — no gaps, no waiting.

The Power Of Immediate Loading
One of the most exciting advancements in dental implantology is immediate loading, which allows a temporary tooth to be attached to the implant on the same day as surgery. Here’s why guided surgery makes this possible:
- Precision Placement — The implant is placed with such accuracy that it’s stable enough to support a temporary tooth immediately.
- Pre-Prepared Restorations — Thanks to digital planning, your temporary tooth is ready to go when you walk into the office.
At 3 Step Smiles, they’re proud to say that in 90% of cases, patients can benefit from immediate loading. This means you can leave the practice with a complete smile on the same day as your surgery.

When Immediate Loading Isn’t Possible
While immediate loading is an option for most patients, it’s not always guaranteed. Factors like the health of your jawbone and the complexity of the procedure play a role in determining whether it’s suitable for you. Their expert team will carefully assess your situation and recommend the best approach to ensure the success of your implants.
