Bone reconstruction before implant placement.
A missing maxillary lateral incisor often presents with a significant loss of bone volume, making ideal implant positioning difficult without rebuilding the foundation first.
In the top photo, you can see the ridge deficiency present at the lateral incisor site. Without adequate bone width and contour, placing an implant would compromise both function and esthetics.
Using Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) with bone grafting and barrier membrane techniques, we were able to regenerate the missing bone and restore the natural ridge architecture.
The bottom photo shows the healed site after regeneration — providing the proper volume and contour needed for predictable implant placement and an esthetic final result.
Building the foundation is the key to long-term implant success.
