I have 2 posted crown’s as my two front upper teeth

Q. Hello, I have 2 posted crown’s as my two front upper teeth. They have been crowned for 20 years now and i think its time i had them removed and implants to replace them. Would the removal and the titatium impant be done on the same day and also would the temporary teeth be fitted also. I would also want to have veneers fotted to the remaining upper teeth to compliment. It would seem you’re quite the expert when it comes to implants but as i live i yorkshire could you advise on my travelling after the proceedure? As in would i be ok to drive……ok to catch the train or would i need a overnight? Many thanks 

A.

You are fit to drive after a reasonable rest if you are relaxed about dentistry. An anxious patient probably should relax a little before driving long distances bringing someone with you who can drive is probably the best option.

You can fit implants on the same day that teeth are removed but it is a little less favourable ( in my opinion ) than waiting 6-8weeks. I personally wouldnt “load” the newly placed implants with crowns for 3-6 months. The temporary we iuse most during extraction healing and implant healing is an adhesive bridge.

I would be happy to do a free initial assesment/discussion on the ways to manage your case. If you wish to proceed to a full case written treatment plan with photos, study models and xrays we ask for £100 to contribute to our costs.
