Implantology (dental implant placement)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Hello,
I would like a second opinion. I have just received a bridge on two implants in the lower right jaw (replacing teeth 5, 6, 7 and 8). The units on the outer (visible) side of the bridge are not in a straight line; everything is "uneven" (one unit is further out, another further in...). Is this normal?? The superstructure (bridge) on the implants was made by a dentist in the absence of the implantologist, because the latter is currently on sick leave.
I kindly ask for your reply as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Mojca

Dear Sir/Madam!
The position of the teeth in such a case depends on many factors that certainly take precedence over aesthetic considerations: implant position, which is dictated by the shape of the bony ridge, type of bite, position of adjacent and opposing teeth, and soft tissues. To a certain extent a compromise can be made for aesthetic reasons, but the appearance is nevertheless not always ideal.
Have a nice day!
