Immediate Function: “Same-Day Teeth”
All on Four- Guided Surgery
For patients who have been wearing dentures or for patients who have non-restorable teeth planned for removal, it is now possible to have implants and a fixed bridge the same day.
Dr Bedrossian has been a leader in the development of protocols for the removal of teeth (if needed), placement of implants and attachment of a fixed bridge all in the same appointment. This concept of immediate loading allows patients to be comfortable and to chew soft foods during the period needed for the initial healing of their new implants.
Ask Dr. Bedrossian if you are a candidate for this procedure.

FOREWORD
In Implant Treatment Planning for the Edentulous Patient: A Graftless Approach to Immediate Loading, Edmond Bedrossian emphasizes the importance of safe, reliable and affordable osseointegration therapies in reconstruction of anatomical and functional defects in the oral, maxillofacial, and cranial regions.
A decisive factor in patient care is simplification of treatment, which should be based on identifying and utilizing the enormous capacity of existing original anchoring tissues. When possible, one should avoid unnecessary advanced and complicated major grafting procedures.
It is decisive to inform each patient about alternatives, referring to long-term clinical experiences and emphasizing the prognostic consequence of the close interaction between surgery, prosthetics function, and the quality of life.
