"Simple - The way it was meant to be"

Immediate implant

	This tooth is failing due to a resorption process affecting the post crown.
	Here is the tooth removed prior to implant surgery
	The tooth has been carefully removed using periotomes
	The implant has been inserted together with a stealth abutment. A "composite shell temporary" has been luted to the plastic sleeve on the abutment. This has in turn been bonded to the adjacent teeth for stability.
	This is the appearance at 10 weeks, just prior to taking impressions for the final crown.
	Looking down on the abutment with the temporary crown removed. No cement was used to attach the crown to the abutment. Ready for impressions.
	X-ray taken on the day of first stage surgery
	X-ray at six months
	Clinical appearance at six months. Surgery Geoffrey Pullen, technician Simon Newbold
