Re: How long between removal and bridge?

After many years, I eventually had to have a top central incisor removed. Recommended options at the time included either a bridge or an implant. I chose an Immediate-Loading implant, which was a relatively new concept at that time, but I had confidence in the dentist offering it, because I knew he had almost 20 years of general implant experience. I also appreciated the fact that only the affected tooth would be affected, with no involvement of the adjacent teeth to support a bridge. The name is a bit of a misnomer, because it actually took about a month of monitoring and scheduled adjustments before the permanent crown was placed, but I left the office with a great-looking temporary crown after the same appointment in which the failing tooth was extracted. That all happened in the summer of 2003, and so far I've never had a problem with my "new tooth."
