Congenitally missing lateral incisors generally require a team approach between the patient’s restorative doctor, the orthodontist, and the oral surgeon.
Cases like this come down to planning and collaboration. The orthodontist sets up the space, we place the implant, and the restorative doctor completes the restoration. This one was done fully guided for precision, using a surgical guide we designed and printed in-house. We also used a connective tissue graft to build up the facial gum tissue, giving the restoring dentist a generous, natural base to shape the final tooth.
