The patient presented with two missing teeth on the lower right. She was having trouble chewing and wanted to replace them with implants. A CBCT (Cone Beam Catscan) was taken in our office, which revealed there was bone loss in the area, however the remaining bone and space made her a good candidate for implants. Dr. Patel placed bone grafts in each area to help increase the bone density, resulting in the stability needed. Once the implants were placed Dr. Patel continue to monitor the patient's healing and approximately two months later he restored the implants with abutments and crowns. The patient continues with her routine visits in our office along with her own homecare to maintain good oral health.
