The patient had periodontal disease, failing teeth, bone loss, and esthetic concerns. Treatment consisted of gum treatment, followed by bone grafting and implant placement. When implants integrated after two months, ceramic veneers were used for anterior esthetics and ceramic crowns were inserted to replace posterior teeth.

The patient in this case, received an implant and a fixed bridge at the same time. This procedure is called immediate loading or “tooth in a day.” The procedure allows the patient to leave the practice with a fixed prosthesis at the time of placement.
