One or few Teeth Missing

When a patient has only one or a few teeth missing as a result of failed root canal treatment, trauma, or a fracture, the tooth can normally be removed and implants being inserted on the same day with temporary crowns being fitted. This procedure is known as 'Immediate Implantation'.

A healing period of between 4-16 weeks if recommended if:

• the tooth has been missing for several years.
• The patient is wearing a partial denture.
• The jaw bone is in poor condition.
• The teeth surrounding the implant are in a poor state.
