Non involvement of adjacent teeth, preservation of the residual ridge, better oral hygiene maintainance are the key ones.Placing dental implant in the maxillary anterior region requires precise planning, surgery, and prosthetic treatment. As this is in the aesthetic zone, a multi-step process needs to be followed that includes esthetics, phonetics, lip support, bone support, occlusion, medical and dental history, and patient expectations. This clinical report details the treatment procedure for reconstruction of the anterior maxillary arch with an implant-supported fixed prosthesis. Diagnosis, treatment planning, and appointment sequence are described, as is the importance of establishing soft-tissue outcomes that enable the patient to properly clean the area.
