Patient Information

Challenge

Steve presented with a badly broken down and fractured lower molar. He wanted a final solution that was fixed in place without having to cut down his pristine adjacent teeth for a bridge. Due to his busy work schedule he also wanted to make the surgical process as efficient as possible.

Solution

The tooth was removed and the implant and bone graft were placed all in one visit. Steve healed for 3 months and then was sent back to his restorative doctor to complete the final crown.
