How do Immediate Implants work?
Step 1: The initial situation
The patient had cracked her root canal treated upper left incisor and came to us for repair.
Step 2: Extraction
We decided to extract the toot and at the same day place an immediate implant.
Step 3: Treatment
At the same time we undertook a connective tissue graft and immediate temporarisation.
Step 4: One week later
After one week the soft tissue still looks a bit swollen – as expected.
Step 5: Final restoration
After three months we placed the final restoration, which is whiter as the patient wanted to pursue a veneer treatment on the upper right central incisor and for the rest of the teeth whitening.
Step 6: Results
The gum line looks absolutely perfect and proves that biological reaction is predictable.
