One tooth had been removed already. The other had failed root canal treatment . After discussion the options of extraction and root canal re-treatment , extraction was chosen. Among the options ( denture , bridges and implants) to replace missing teeth, implants as the best option was picked. A standard size implant was placed at the site with already missing tooth.

What is immediate dental implant placement? Immediate implant placement is when an implant is placed at the same time as the natural tooth is extracted. It was first reported in 1976. It has similar high success rate as traditional delayed implant placement. The main benefits of immediate implant placement are reduced treatment time and number of visits.

Dental implants have revolutionized dentistry and the replacement of teeth since Dr. P. Brånemark first placed modern dental implants in his patients in 1965. Dental implants are very successful if they are placed following basic principles of dental implant surgery. One of these principles is regarding mesial-distal positioning of implants. There should be at least 1.5 mm of space between the implant and any adjacent teeth, and 3 mm of space between adjacent implants. O

Peri-implantitis is a destructive inflammatory process affecting both soft and hard tissue surrounding an osseointegrated dental implant in function. Similar to a natural tooth, bacteria can build up on the base of the implant, below the gum line. Over time, the bacteria irritate the gum tissue, causing it to become inflamed, damaging the tissue and if not caught early, causing the bone structure below the implant to deteriorate. Peri-implant diseases are classified into t

We did sinus lift surgery 6 months ago because there was not enough bone for dental implants . Now it's time to check if the sinus augmentation and immediate implant placement is successful. The intra-oral picture showed the implant was nice and solid. No inflammation. The surrounding soft tissue was normal. The gum was nice and pink. The x-ray showed the implant was perfectly positioned and the sinus grafting was successful. The implant passed 30Ncm torque test. Two w

In this case, there are two front teeth missing with limited space. The gap is not wide enough for 2 implants and one implant supported cantilever bridge will be the best option. Computer guided implant surgery performed after 3D planning - flapless, minimal trauma and quick recovery. 3 months after implant surgery, showed complete osteo-integration. Cantilever bridge inserted. Now the patient can smile again and also it's easy to floss and maintain oral hygiene . #D

The implant was placed immediately after sinus augmentation 6 months ago. Now it's time to check it out. The sinus lift and implant surgery was very successful clinically and radiographically.

When a number of teeth are missing, multiple dental implants are the best option to give you the feeling of real teeth and easy maintenance of oral hygiene. In this case, all the premolars and molars are missing, which means there is no back teeth to chew on. A lower partial denture was made but the patient couldn't stand it because of lack of stability and comfort. Eventually three implants resolved all the problems. Three months after implant surgery , the intergrated im

A patient with a missing upper first molar requested to replace the missing tooth.
