You don't HAVE to Gap Graft Dental Implants....But You SHOULD (and Here's Why!)

In a recent video, Dr. Robert Stanley, the Smile Engineer®, placed his own dental implant into the #30 site. He chose not to gap graft the implant site, and it raised many questions in our comments about why. In this video, Dr. Stanley explains the choice and why you SHOULD be gap grafting your anterior and posterior immediate implants.Join us as we break down what gap grafts are, how they work, plus Dr. Rob's recommendations for healing abutments in both locations. We'll also discuss the types of materials used for grafting. Link to Tarnow Paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21845246/ Ready to learn more?
