The Dental Guys
About this episode

As we prepare to attend this year’s Academy of Osseointegration meeting in Seattle, Jon and Wes take a deep dive into a controversial topic—implant placement in lateral incisors. Do we have enough evidence to rethink treatment planning? Are single-wing Maryland bridges a reliable solution for tooth replacement, or should we anticipate future revisions? And could factors like midfacial growth patterns steer us away from implants altogether? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion as we explore the latest perspectives in implant dentistry!

Tune in and join the conversation! ---This week on the Dental Guys!
