So, how does the process work? First, we’ll do a diagnostic clinical exam and take photos. Then, we’ll use our digital scan to make an impression and our 3D printer to fabricate the models. We’ll also take an in-office CT scan to evaluate the amount of bone and finalize the treatment plan. We’ll use this information to fabricate a 3D-printed surgical guide, which minimizes surgical time and improves the surgical and prosthetic outcomes. On the day of the surgery, we’ll remove the teeth and place the implants immediately. Then, we create a fixed temporary bridge inserted on the same day. While you can use your teeth immediately, we strongly recommend sticking to a soft diet during healing. This will ensure good healing and promote the best outcome for the procedure.

You will need to come in for an assessment after your surgery so we can check the progression of your post-procedure healing. Once your gum and bone have healed, we will begin the fabrication of your final implant bridge. All the work is completed at Obeid Dental by our master lab technician.
