Dental Implant Reduction with Space Closure

This adult female patient presented to the clinic missing her upper right first molar as well as both sets of lower first and second molars. She still had her third molars and the lower ones were tipped, making restoration with dental implants non-ideal. Dr. Benson uprighted the lower third molars and closed the space on the upper right, bringing the second and third molars forward. This eliminated the need and expense of one implant on the upper right side.
