Replacing Both Maxillary Lateral Incisors

The biggest problem in replacing lateral incisors with dental implants is the lack of room available for implant placement. It is up to the orthodontist to insure that there is enough room for an implant and that the roots are properly positioned to allow full implant placement. In most instances, it is necessary to use a small diameter implant. In this phot, I am using an Intra-Lock 3.3mm diameter implant. (BTW this is a different patient).
	Here the implant is totally seated. Note that there has been minimal displacement of soft tissues.
