All treatmentsDesigned backwards, from the finished tooth to the fixture.
Planning
A CBCT scan and an intraoral scan are merged so the position of the fixture is decided by where the crown needs to sit, not by where the bone is easiest. A surgical guide is printed from that plan.
The timeline
Placement takes about an hour. Integration takes three to four months, during which you wear a temporary — fixed if the site allows, removable if it doesn't. The final crown is fitted after that.
What can go wrong, honestly
Implants fail in roughly two to five percent of cases, more in smokers and in uncontrolled diabetes. We will quantify your own risk at the consultation rather than quote the industry's best number. Our fixtures carry a ten-year guarantee; if one fails in that window we replace it.

Why the front is different
A molar implant has to chew. A front implant has to disappear. The margin for error is the gum line, and it is measured in fractions of a millimetre — which is why the crown was designed before the fixture was ordered.
Extraction and graft, same appointment
The failing tooth came out atraumatically and the socket was grafted in the same visit to hold the ridge shape. Skipping that step is the usual reason a front implant ends up looking longer than its neighbour.
The waiting part
Four months in a fixed temporary while the fixture integrated. The temporary was shaped to train the gum into the contour the final crown needed, so the tissue was ready before the porcelain arrived.
