Hello. I am sorry I don't have any picture for this case. I had a patient who came in with #8 and #9 broken at gum line. He has #7 and #10 single tooth implants that are looking great in mouth and on PA. I recommended getting 2 new implants on #8 and #9, but after the initial exam, I kept thinking maybe making a bridge #7-10 off those existing implants could be an option. Please share your thoughts/experience on similar cases. Thank you very much.
