      I have a question about restoring this case. The plan was to do over denture. But now the patient can’t handle the denture and she wants a bridge. Implants are fully healed and ready to be restored. She doesn’t want to wait another 5 months ( so adding 2 posterior implants is not an option). How would you go about restoring this? Screw retained bridge with one cantilever on each side? Or you don’t recommend that. She is 95 yesrs old.
      She has upper denture and okay with not having lower back teeth.

      • I typically try not to cantilever more than one tooth. In this case you may be able to get away with two smaller teeth and get to the 2 pre molar if placing more posterior implants aren’t an option.
