EXO 47 • Immediate Implant • Guided Surgery 🦷✨

Replacing a missing molar doesn’t have to mean multiple surgeries and long waiting periods. In this EXO 47 case, we performed tooth extraction with immediate implant placement using guided surgery—a precise, efficient, and patient-friendly approach.

Why immediate implantation?

✔️ Reduced treatment time – extraction and implant placement in a single visit
✔️ Preserves bone and soft tissue – helps maintain natural contours
✔️ Fewer surgical procedures – less overall trauma and faster recovery
✔️ Improved accuracy with guided surgery – optimal implant positioning for long-term success
✔️ Better patient comfort & convenience – fewer appointments, quicker results

Guided surgery allows us to plan every step digitally, ensuring precision and predictability—even in challenging posterior cases like tooth 47.

Modern implant dentistry is all about working smarter, not harder—for both clinician and patient.

From recession to regeneration ✨
This case highlights the power of a well-executed CTG procedure for the management of gingival recession. In just a few months, we achieved 100% root coverage with exceptional tissue quality—stable, thick, and beautifully integrated.
Key to this outcome was a microsurgical approach: precise handling of tissues, use of 7-0 and 8-0 sutures, and working under high magnification with optimal illumination. These elements allow for minimal trauma, enhanced vascularization, and superior healing.
Technique matters. Precision matters. And when both come together, the results speak for themselves.

When a previous root coverage procedure fails, the instinct is often to try again.
But sometimes, the better answer is to change the strategy entirely.
This patient presented after an unsuccessful root coverage attempt from another office—minimal keratinized tissue, persistent recession, and a significant frenum pull contributing to instability.
Instead of repeating the same approach, we focused on fundamentals.
A free gingival graft (FGG) was performed to establish keratinized tissue and neutralize the impact of the frenum. Using meticulous microsurgical technique, we achieved not only increased tissue thickness and stability, but also impressive root coverage in a single procedure.
No second-stage root coverage. No additional intervention.
Just biology, precision, and respect for tissue handling.
Before: Thin, fragile tissue, active frenum pull, unresolved recession
After: Thick, stable, well-integrated gingiva with reduced tension and significant root coverage
Microsurgery isn’t just about smaller instruments—it’s about better vascularity, less trauma, and maximizing what each procedure can achieve.
Sometimes, one well-executed surgery is all it takes.

Before ➡️ After with CAF Tunnel technique ✨

🦷 Recession treated with a minimally invasive gum graft
🦷 Natural, stable root coverage + improved comfort

Why graft vs Class V fillings?
• Treats the cause (not just covers it)
• More stable long-term
• Better esthetics & tissue health

From failure to full comeback 🔥🦷
This case started with a symptomatic upper second premolar… previously treated, but still failing. Add to that a buccal plate fenestration—and we’re looking at a compromised site that traditionally means delays, grafts, and long healing times.
But not this time.
💥 Atraumatic extraction
💥 Thorough socket degranulation with ER-CR laser
💥 Immediate implant placement (BLX protocol)
Primary stability? Rock solid at 65 Ncm 💪
Achieved by engaging the sinus floor and dense palatal bone—key to making immediacy possible.
🚀 Minimal socket grafting
🚀 No 6-month wait for healing
🚀 No additional delay for integration
Instead, we will move straight to restoration in just TWO months.
Even better—the majority of the implant is anchored in native bone, not grafted tissue. That’s biology working in our favor.
This is what modern implantology looks like: precise, efficient, and patient-centered.

When a dental bridge fails, the real problem is often hidden under the gums.
This patient presented with a failing bridge, and further evaluation revealed a root fracture and insufficient bone height in the upper jaw.
Teeth #14 and #16 were unfortunately not salvageable and required removal.
Because the sinus occupies much of the space above upper molars, we performed a lateral window sinus lift to create room for new bone. During the same surgery, we placed two implants immediately to support a future bridge.
Why place implants immediately?
• It reduces the number of surgeries
• Shortens overall treatment time
• Allows the implant to anchor into the patient’s native bone, often giving excellent stability
In this case we achieved excellent primary stability, creating a predictable foundation for the final restoration.
A complex problem solved with a single well-planned surgery.

Sometimes a tooth can look fine on the outside but hide a problem deep in the bone.
This patient came in with a compromised tooth #22 and a hidden infection at the root (called a periapical lesion). The tooth had to be removed, but instead of leaving a gap, we were able to place a dental implant immediately the same day.
To protect the surrounding bone and gum tissue, we also performed bone and soft-tissue grafting. This helps preserve the natural shape of the smile and gives the implant the best long-term support.
An immediate temporary crown was placed so the patient could walk out without a missing tooth.
The before and after images show something really rewarding — complete resolution of the infection in the bone and a healthy, natural-looking result.
One small detail I wish we could have improved even further: replacing the crown on tooth #21 would have made the final symmetry even better. But overall, it’s always great to see infection resolved and a confident smile restored.
Modern implant dentistry isn’t just about replacing teeth — it’s about rebuilding health, structure, and esthetics at the same time. labwork

If you’ve been told you have an extremely thin gum phenotype, you know how delicate your gums can be. 💗 Even light brushing or minor recession can lead to sensitivity and root exposure.
A gum graft helps reinforce and thicken fragile tissue, protecting your teeth, reducing sensitivity, and improving long-term stability. Stronger foundation. Healthier smile. Confident you. ✨

Worried about receding gums on your canines? You’re not alone 💙

This case shows an excellent recovery of severely receded gums using a proven gum treatment called CAF + CTG (a gentle technique that helps cover exposed roots and strengthen the gums). The patient will now see her orthodontist to begin straightening her teeth.

✨ Healthier gums
✨ Better protection for the teeth
✨ A more natural, confident smile

With the right treatment, gum recession can be improved predictably and safely — restoring both comfort and appearance 🦷😊

🦷✨ Managing infected extraction sites with precision — before bone grafting and implants.

At IMPrESS Perio Implant Centre (Vancouver), we use the Waterlase iPlus (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser to precisely remove granulation tissue and disinfect infected sockets prior to bone grafting.

💧 Laser-assisted debridement helps:
• Thoroughly clean infected sites
• Reduce bacterial load & biofilm
• Preserve native bone
• Create an ideal foundation for grafting and implant success

Advanced laser technology + meticulous surgical protocols = predictable healing in compromised cases.

At IMPrESS Perio Implant Centre, implant success goes beyond osseointegration.

The emergence profile and soft tissue architecture play a critical role in long-term esthetics, hygiene, and peri-implant stability. Using a screw-retained provisional crown, we carefully sculpt and guide the peri-implant soft tissue, allowing ideal contouring and papilla formation before the final restoration.

This provisional phase is not temporary — it is essential for predictable, esthetic, and healthy implant outcomes.

📍 Referrals welcome for complex implant, soft tissue, and esthetic cases.
