Immediate Load Protocols, Explained for the Referring Dentist

By Julio Munoz, CDTAugust 28, 20257 min read

Immediate load is a partnership between surgery and laboratory timing. Here is how we coordinate provisionals with your surgical appointment.

Immediate load protocols allow a patient to leave surgery with a fixed provisional in place. For that to work, the laboratory and the surgery must be synchronized — the provisional must be ready when the implants are placed.

We deliver provisionals timed to the surgical appointment. For denture patients, a Smart Denture Conversion can convert an existing denture into an immediate-load provisional aligned to the placed implants.

The definitive restoration is then designed around the healed, loaded interface — capturing the tissue contour that the provisional helped establish. This is the bridge between immediate function and long-term outcomes.
