With this technique, I was able to re-contour the patient's smile and provide her with a porcelain-fused-to-gold restoration that is supported by her own natural teeth and the two implants. The restoration extends from cuspid to cuspid and is cemented with a retrievable, non-crystalizing cement (Improv).

While the papillae around the central incisor pontic are far from ideal, the overall appearance of the restoration is excellent. I am considering a small soft tissue graft for the pontic area to improve the soft tissue contour.
