After thorough evaluation and consultations, the dental team decided to proceed with implant surgery as a more stable and long-term solution compared to traditional bridgework. Given the patient’s age, meticulous planning was essential to address any potential complications related to bone density and healing capacity. Utilizing state-of-the-art imaging and surgical techniques, the implants were positioned to ensure optimal integration with the existing bone structure. The surgery was performed under local anesthesia, ensuring the patient remained comfortable throughout the procedure.
