Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration (IDR) Treatment for Same-Day Dental Implants

At Ora Dentistry in Elk Grove, CA, we are proud to offer cutting-edge dental solutions like Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration (IDR), a revolutionary procedure designed to provide effective, single-stage tooth replacement. Dental implants have gained popularity – more than 3 million implants were placed annually by 2019, and the demand continues to rise, but not everyone can receive a dental implant without multiple procedures. Developed by Dr. José Carlos Martins da Rosa, the IDR technique is transforming the way we approach tooth implants, especially in cases where bone loss or periodontal disease complicates traditional methods.

What Is IDR Treatment?

IDR is an innovative reconstructive procedure that allows for the extraction and replacement of a tooth in one single treatment session. Unlike traditional tooth replacement methods, which often require multiple visits and extended healing times, IDR streamlines the process by addressing bone loss and other complications directly. This approach is ideal for patients who need tooth extraction but have compromised dental sockets due to bone deterioration or gum disease.

Advantages of IDR Treatment

IDR offers several key advantages over traditional implant procedures, making it an attractive option for patients seeking a quick and effective tooth replacement solution:

• Less Invasive: IDR is a minimally invasive procedure, meaning patients experience less discomfort and faster recovery times.
• Faster Recovery: The use of bone from the maxillary tuberosity accelerates healing and reduces post-op risks.
• Fewer Visits: Because IDR is a single-stage procedure, patients require fewer appointments compared to traditional multi-step implant methods.
• Improved Healing: The grafting material acts as a biological membrane, encouraging the natural healing of both bone and gum tissue.
• Cost-Effective: Fewer visits and a faster process make IDR a more affordable option for patients.
• Natural Results: Using the patient’s own bone to craft the graft and crown ensures a natural, seamless outcome.
• Minimal Maintenance: Post-operative care is simpler, and the long-term results are more predictable and stable.

Understanding the IDR Procedure

The Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration process is simple, efficient, and minimally invasive. A small portion of bone is harvested from the upper jaw, specifically from an area near the wisdom teeth known as the maxillary tuberosity. This piece of bone is vital for the success of the graft, as it promotes faster healing and minimizes post-operative risks. Once the bone is extracted, it is shaped to fill the gap at the implant site, creating a secure foundation for the tooth implant.

Simultaneously, a temporary crown is crafted from the same extracted bone and placed on the implant. This single-stage procedure reduces the need for multiple visits, providing patients with immediate functionality and aesthetics.

Who Is a Good Candidate for IDR?

This procedure is ideal for patients with compromised dental sockets who need faster, more effective results than traditional implant methods can provide.
