The Story:
This patient had a Maryland bridge which had come loose frequently. She also had difficulty flossing due to bonded extensions of the Maryland bridge.
Treatment:
The Maryland bridge was removed and bonded with temporary cement as a transitional. Following CBCT, optical scan, and full digital diagnostics and implant planning, a single dental implant was placed following digital guided approach. After a 3 month healing period, the implant was restored with a single crown.
Key factors to our success:
