If the dental implant procedure is so long and involved do you look like you have teeth in the interim?

A denture would be made beforehand, so you could use that in the interim :)

Pretty sure your fitted with temporary crowns or bridges until the final procedure.





That's what happened with me when I got my crown. I had a temporary one slapped in until the fitted one was made.
Reply:Depends on where your implants are located really and your dentist.





I had 2 implants put in at the back of my jaw (with a hammer I should add) and while the bone was growing back around them to secure them they were left under the gum line so no teeth. It was only after they had fixed that the crown part was added, initially a temporary one while the actual tooth shaped parts were made.





I would guess even if you were having an inscisor implant put in the procedure would be pretty much the same. The jawbone needs the time to allow new bone to grow and bond around the Titanium implant before anything can be affixed to it. So you'd still have a gap.
