It is sometimes possible to remove a tooth which is failing and to insert an implant at the same time, enabling it to function with a temporary tooth. There are various conditions which must be satisfied before this can be done. Most importantly, there must be no active infection, and the bone and gum must be intact.
It is sometimes possible to remove a tooth which is failing and to insert an implant at the same time, enabling it to function with a temporary tooth. There are various conditions which must be satisfied before this can be done. Most importantly, there must be no active infection, and the bone and gum must be intact.
The same principles apply if more than one tooth is failing. Using this method, a person can come into the surgery with unhealthy teeth and leave on the same day with the implants having been inserted into the tooth sockets. Smile and function can be restored in one day. The final bridge is then constructed a few months later when the gums have settled and the bone has strengthened.
In this case all the planning was done on the computer based on three-dimensional imaging produced by a CT scan. The position of the implants was decided beforehand and positioned using computer-generated guides. The temporary teeth were constructed on computer-generated (stereo-lithographic) models and fitted on the day that the teeth were removed
