Implant-supported restorations have assumed a position of prominence in the restorative armamentarium, often providing dental professionals with a conservative, predictable means of restoring edentulous spaces or replacing failing teeth. Further, the viability of implant placement and provisionalization at the initial surgical visit has increased in recent years due to advances in the associated materials and techniques, both of which enable the delivery of natural aesthetics to implant patients. Immediate one-stage implant placement, while depending on the clinician's adherence to established protocols, several treatment parameters, and case selection, can establish a gingival contour that is harmonious within the oral environment. It can also significantly reduce the duration of treatment, decrease the involved expenses, and eliminate the second surgical invasion altogether.
