Standard of care: tooth replacement using dental implants. Other options include removable denture and bridgework (involves removal of natural tooth structure which is irreversible). Treatment plan involves placement of immediate implant and temporary crown: patient leaves the dental office with a full smile. Treatment time is one and a half hours.
Missing upper molar tooth, in this case tooth 26, removed some 12 months ago. The technique requires simple dental injections similar to having normal fillings. Duration is approximately 30 minutes.
Three months later, final crown is placed. Final crown bolted to the implant in the bone. Again, there is no pain or discomfort during the impression and issue of the crown. Final crown and the screw that connects the crown to the implant.
The screw hole is covered with a tooth-coloured filling. This is a fail safe system as the crown can be removed and re-screwed in place for future repair if required. Final Smile Says it All
