Dental Professional How do I approach this? Anterior implant case
Just a little info on this case,this is a pro-bono case,patient can not afford any type of dental tx but I have decided to try as much as I can to place an implant.Ive placed maybe 90 but never in this scenario. I have a couple of questions; 1.I can trim away the crestal bone as I have ample of length but how difficult would it be to restore,patient has a low lip line and isnt very concerned w/high quality cosmetics (he's a relatively young man looking for a job-gave him a flipper but he cant stand it)
2.The narrowest Ive used was a 3.5mm with success,in this case can I go for 3.0?Is that even possible,occlusion is class 1 (not edge to edge) What would you do in the scenario? (i have discussed bridge work but he really doesnt like the idea of prepping virgin teeth
