With careful restorative planning and surgical placement, dental implants can be used to support and retain a wide range of esthetic prostheses. When implant planning or surgical executions are less than ideal, however, the resulting restorative space can be a significant obstacle to successful treatment.

Details of the treatment and an illustration of the customized design are also presented.
