Q. Dr. andrew i am 18 yrs old and i lost my right front tooth at age 7 at a car accident.I need to implant a tooth , i visited a dentist once and he said that i would need to implant bone and gum. I wanted to know if you could tell me if he is right and if i am a good candidate for the one day implant if not how long will the WHOLE precedure last (weeks,monthes). thank you for your attention .
A. I can’t really tell you without a thorough assessment and x-ray whether you would be suitable for an immediately loaded implant or whther the bone needs rebuilding first. As a guess if the tooth was lost 11 years ago i would assume the bone needs rebuilding 1st then the implant placed at a later date. this type of treatment usually takes 6-9 months to complete
