Case Study: Immediate Cosmetic Implant

A nonfixable condition involving a tooth in the 'smile zone'. The only option is extraction and the patient doesn't want to have a 'gap' between her teeth. In addition, she refuses to wear anything removable. We agreed to remove the tooth and immediately place and implant with a temporary crown. All this was done in one day. The patient was able to return to normal activity the same day. There is a 4-6month wait for the permanent crown while the implant heals. During that time she can smile with confidence.
