Dental Implants and Teeth in One Visit
In some cases teeth can be extracted, implants placed and restored with a tooth at the same visit. This can be done with the ONE tooth or MULTIPLE teeth, and is becoming more prevelant. This eliminates the need for a removable temporary appliance while maintaining near normal function during the healing phase. Since the teeth are fixed to implants, there is usually a shorter adjustment period.

Not everyone is a candidate for this procedure. A clinical exam is necessary to determine the right conditions. Teeth delivered at the time of surgery are provisional teeth, and will be changed to a final one after complete healing. The provisional teeth can be used for as long as a year (we do not charge for any repair or adjustments during this period).
