Implant-supported FDPs and veneers require careful treatment planning and a focus on both esthetics and function. Implant occlusion is an important consideration in the fabrication of the prosthesis, and digital design technology such as CAD/CAM can help ensure a precise and customized fit for the patient. By using digital design technology, and careful treatment planning we were able to achieve an optimal outcome that is not only esthetically pleasing but also functions properly and will be a long-term success.
