Patientâs 16 yr old daughter had a fall and damaged her front tooth. After considering her age and condition of the tooth itself we determined the best approach would be a This procedure requires the broken tooth to be removed and an implant placed into the area. Normally this would leave us with no tooth in the spot until the implant heals. In the past we would make a removable appliance to act in the place of the tooth but that can rub and irritate the healing of the implant. Working closely with Dr. Jessica Stilley-Mallah was able to place the implant same day as tooth removal. Then the patient came to our office and using designed a Maryland Bridge which only requires minor adjustments to the neighboring teeth to attach itself. Now this patient has a Tooth! She can heal in the area, eat her food, and not constantly remove and insert a âfake toothâ this is Modern day dentistry at its finest! Thanks to for developing this system that improves this outcome and flow for such an important purpose!
