Immediate Function

Immediately after the placement of the implant, a transitional tooth is inserted into the implant, which not only stabilizes the implant but also provides the patient with a functioning tooth during the 3-4 months of healing.

  • Functioning transitional teeth after patient’s first appointment.
  • Treatment may be completed in only 3 visits.
  • Implant placement to final restoration possible in 4 months.
  • Patient is never without a fixed tooth.

One-Stage

After the extraction of the tooth and subsequent implant placement, a healing abutment is inserted into the implant to facilitate the formation of a soft tissue sulcus around the implant.

  • Healing abutment facilitates formation of soft tissue sulcus.
  • Eliminates need for a second surgical procedure to uncover implant.
  • Implant placement to final restoration possible in 4 months.

Two-Stage

After the implant is placed, it is covered by the gum tissue throughout the healing process. After a period of healing, the implant is surgically uncovered for the insertion of an abutment.

  • Implant is covered by the gum tissue throughout the healing process.
  • Implant is uncovered at a second surgical visit.
  • Implant placement to final restoration possible in 4 months.
