Case Study: Immediate implant
We encountered a patient with a fractured lateral incisor, a scenario that demanded precision and careful planning. Our team performed an extensive assessment, including advanced imaging, to fully understand the fracture and the health of the adjacent dental structures. Our objective was to create a customized treatment plan that would minimize discomfort and maximize the treatment’s success for our patient.

Treatment undertaken:
Our approach involved gently extracting the fractured tooth, focusing on minimizing trauma to avoid any loss of bone or soft tissue. Leveraging guided implant placement and detailed pre-planning, we immediately replaced the extracted tooth with an implant and a temporary crown. This method not only secured the implant’s stability and proper alignment but also significantly reduced the patient’s recovery time, reflecting our clinic’s dedication to providing advanced, patient-focused dental solutions.
