Choosing a dental implant is rarely about speed alone.
For most people in Antwerp, it is about making a decision that will still feel right years from now.
At VIDENT, immediate implant placement is approached as a measured clinical decision, not a shortcut. Patients who arrive on this page usually share similar thoughts:
This page exists to give you that clarity, step by step.
An immediate implant is placed directly at the time of tooth extraction.
A delayed implant is placed after a healing period, usually several weeks or months later.
The difference is not philosophical. It is structural and biological.
Immediate implant placement focuses on:
Delayed implant placement focuses on:
At VIDENT, the distinction is never framed as faster versus slower.
It is framed as appropriate versus inappropriate for your specific anatomy.
Immediate implants are selective by nature.
They are chosen when they increase predictability, not when they merely reduce time.
An immediate implant is considered when:
When these conditions are not present, an alternative sequence is considered.
The objective remains the same in every case: a stable result that does not create future compromises.
Suitability is determined by structure, not preference.
Patients who are often suitable include:
Age alone is not a deciding factor.
Bone quality, anatomical conditions, and occlusal dynamics matter far more.
At VIDENT, suitability is verified through:
Only when these elements align does immediate placement enter the plan.
Risk is not inherent to timing.
Risk comes from poor selection and inadequate planning.
When immediate implants are placed within defined clinical parameters:
What increases risk is skipping verification steps or forcing speed into cases that do not support it.
At VIDENT, risk is managed by:
Nothing is assumed. Everything is verified.
Bone quality determines how force is absorbed and distributed.
In immediate implants, this matters even more because:
Bone is assessed for:
If bone quality does not allow controlled engagement, the plan is adjusted.
This adjustment is not a setback. It is a safeguard.
In suitable cases, yes.
But time reduction is treated as a secondary benefit, not a goal.
Potential efficiencies include:
What matters more is that:
Efficiency without correction is the only efficiency that matters.
Decisions at VIDENT follow a structured clinical pathway.
The process includes:
Patients are guided through:
Most patients appreciate knowing that:
That is how control is preserved.
Where I walked in months ago with fear was completely gone in a few minutes. Very good dentist gives good explanations and knows his trade. I am now being treated for 2 implants and everything is perfect. Highly recommended.
Excellent professional. Every consultation was perfect and painless. Very satisfied with the final result of my dental implant. Assistants are friendly and professional.
For the moment, I have my temporary teeth on implants on top (so I'm not walking around toothless as I feared 🥳). I'm really so happy with this dentist (he's really super good, in my opinion, an expert at his work! (He works really focused … More
Very satisfied with this practice. I ended up here with an urgent problem, and I didn't hesitate to become a patient. The welcome was very warm. I had implants placed by Dr. Victor, which wasn't obvious to me. He reassured me and went … More

Professional, hygienic, painless, and fast. Everything you could want from a dentist. You can also come here for implants and root canal treatments, all at a fair price and without a long wait.
If you are considering an immediate implant, the next step is clinical confirmation.
At VIDENT, we assess structure, stability, and long‑term predictability before any decision is made.
Book a focused implant consultation to understand your options with clarity and control.
Patients usually worry about choosing speed over safety.
At VIDENT, immediate implant placement is never presented as a shortcut.
The decision is based on:
If these factors do not align, a different sequence is recommended.
This approach ensures that the decision still makes sense years later, not just today.
This is a common and valid concern.
If bone quality or volume does not meet defined clinical thresholds:
This does not mean treatment becomes uncertain.
It means the risk is removed before it appears.
Patients often find reassurance in knowing that the system adapts to their anatomy, not the other way around.
Not necessarily.
Immediate implant placement refers to when the implant is inserted, not when it is loaded.
At VIDENT:
The decision depends on:
This separation protects the implant during its most critical biological phase.
Patients often assume faster means riskier.
Clinically, that assumption is incorrect when protocols are respected.
When immediate implants are placed under controlled conditions:
What increases risk is poor case selection, not timing.
That is why planning, diagnostics, and thresholds matter more than speed.
This concern reflects long‑term thinking, which is appropriate.
When planned correctly, immediate implants:
At VIDENT, every immediate implant is planned backward from the final restoration.
Nothing is done that would reduce future control.
In suitable cases, overall treatment time can be reduced.
However, time reduction is never the primary objective.
The real advantage is:
The focus remains on avoiding corrective steps later, which is what truly saves time and effort in the long run.
VIDENT operates on a process‑driven clinical framework, not individual preference.
Every immediate implant decision is supported by:
Patients are guided through:
This structured approach creates predictability, transparency, and confidence without pressure.
