The patient presented with a missing tooth on the lower left. She was worried about her bite and ability to chew since she would need other future extractions. Her goal was to have an implant placed, however she had an allergy to metal and wasn't sure it would be possible. A CBCT (Cone Beam CT) was taken in our office and revealed that the bone structure and space made her a good candidate for implant placement. Due to her metal allergy, a Zirconia implant was placed. Dr. Patel continues to monitor her healing and the patient will return for the implant abutment and crown.
