These are "impression posts" or "transfer abutments" meaning we're about to take an impression w/ very accurate material, pour very hard and accurate stone in the impression and build the crown OUTSIDE of the mouth...in the lab.

this way, the crown on the model is exactly on the implant that's integrated in the patients jaw bones and when delivered will fit. although, this patient got more than crowns on the bottom: actually, we made a sub-structure that was fastened to the implants and on top of that, a partial denture "clipped" on (b/c the patient was missing more than teeth...

Ben - who covers the costs of a treatment like that ? I don't ness. mean the surgery (was it tumour or trauma ?) but the supastructure.

Well, from my years working in the Louisiana State Prison system, they either finish the work you started or ripped them out of his mouth for fear he pull them out to try to use them as some sort of weapon against the staff or other inmates.
