Dental implants are the new standard of care in terms of replacement of missing teeth. Once thought of as being reserved for only high-end cases, the placement and restoration of dental implants is now routine procedure.
This patient had a dental bridge that was infected and required removal. The bridge (and underlying teeth) were extracted and a bone graft was placed to preserve the bone height and width in the area. A temporary denture was made to fill the space for the patient while the bone graft heals. The 4th picture from the top on the left side shows the healing of the area after 4 months. We are currently in the process of planning his implant treatment. A Cone Beam Computed Tomography (or CBCT) scan was taken to determine the bone volume and exact location of the future implants.
