A member asked:
This is my second failed attempt to do an implant on #9. should i give up on the implant and do a bridge?is there something that can be done to help
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Sorry about the failure x 2. If there is adequate jaw bone present at site #9 and the esthetics may look decent then it is worth a 3rd shot. However, in my experience, a bridge might be the best option if there is a history of 2 failures. Consult with your oral surgeon. Good luck.
