Function Immediately
The term "function immediately" is the clinical term
that describes what we call teeth-in-an-hour.One of the main drawbacks of
dental implants has been the long healing period required. Implants are
placed, and then the bone has to grow in around them to anchor them. It
would likely be several months before the patient could use those teeth.
In the interim, an uncomfortable temporary appliance such as a
dental
flipper would have to do for the patient.
New technology, however, makes functioning
immediately
a reality. CT scans and sophisticated three-dimensional computer image
manipulation allows for the precise placement of implants, minimizing the
healing time and also minimizing the
post-operative discomfort.
