When teeth are missing from birth, every millimeter matters.
This patient was born without lower teeth (congenitally missing teeth), creating a challenging situation where the available space was too narrow for conventional implant placement.
Through careful great interdisciplinary planning, orthodontic treatment was first used to precisely move the surrounding teeth and create the ideal space. Once the proper dimensions were achieved, narrow-diameter dental implants were placed using the precision of YOMI® robotic-assisted implant guidance, allowing for accurate, minimally invasive implant positioning.
The final restorations were then carefully designed blend into the patient’s natural smile, restoring both function and esthetics.
Every successful implant case starts long before surgery. Thoughtful planning, orthodontics, digital technology, and prosthodontic expertise make all the difference.
