Results
We were very proud of the final results and John was thrilled with the esthetics
and function of his new teeth! Final photos were taken most recently at a three-
year follow up visit, he looked and felt great, although he did have some tissue
recession surrounding the multi-unit abutment in site #10. Due to his low lip
line at full smile, this was not of any concern to John. Proper oral home care,
regular hygiene visits, and radiographic follow up are of utmost importance in
cases like this to ensure gingival and implant stability long term. The take away
for me on this case was that picking the proper team and pre-planning implant
placements from a restorative endpoint in mind saved us all time, money and
unnecessary complications throughout every step of the process. Keep it simple
and keep the end in mind!
