This patient lives in Ft. Lauderdale and flew up today for me to restore his lower front teeth with dental implant crowns. This was a challenging case because of how thin the bone was and the tight space, and close proximity of the implants.

This patient was super pleased with his new teeth. His 4 upper teeth were broken down and needed to be extracted. We did a bone graft and placed 2 implants. Following healing I made him a 4 unit porcelain bridge cemented over custom abutments. The entire process took about 6 months. During the healing phase he wore a partial denture.
