Case Study: Immediate implants
Due to high levels of evidence and predictable bone resorption patterns and computer guided implantology we can now reliably combine the extraction of a tooth with an immediate implant placement, bone augmentation, impressions for the final restoration and open healing. This reduces patient appointments, travel time and patients stress as everything can be done in three appointments.

Treatment undertaken:
We undertake the following process for such patients: Firstly, we undergo implant planning and guide production in order to ensure reliability and accuracy in our results. Secondly, we then perform a number of dental procedures – tooth extraction, bone augmentation, final restoration scanning and then the final phase of open healing. The last stage in this process is the placement of the final restoration.
