What happens if, during an emergency, the patient is unsuitable for dental implants?

Doctor's Answer

That would be a straightforward way of removing all the damaged teeth that are hopeless.

If a bone graft needs to be done, we will do the bone graft, if the gum graft needs to be done, we will do the gum graft, and then we will suture and close up the surgery there and the patient will not be getting an implant.

The patient will be getting some kind of a denture so that at least when they smile they have teeth.

If the immediate implants are contraindicated, we will remove the hopeless teeth and do whatever is necessary for the body to heal and the side to fully regenerate into healthy bone and gum, then 3-6 months later we will go in with the implants in a delayed way.
