An implant was placed the same day as the extraction. The bone was very stable so an implant was chosen over a bridge, which would have connected the adjacent teeth. The time needed to complete the treatment was reduced by utilizing immediate treatment. Normally after extraction the area may have to heal for 4-6 months before placing an implant.
From a fractured tooth to a final implant
Procedure Details
A patient fractured a tooth, which could not be saved. The tooth was removed (extraction) and an implant was placed at the same visit. A healing cap was placed and 12 weeks later impressions were taken for a final crown. At Martin Dentistry in Indianapolis, your doctors will take time to explain your implant options.
