This clinical report presents the surgical and prosthetic management of a patient with complex needs involving anterior implants. After extraction and ridge augmentation, unexpected ridge resorption occurred. Two implants were placed in conjunction with an allograft skin material. Upon healing, 2 additional soft tissue augmentation procedures were performed with autologous pedicle connective tissue grafts to correct the residual ridge deficiency. At the second stage surgery, a modified flap approach was used to further enhance the soft tissue volume and contour. Definitive implant-supported splinted crowns with minimal interproximal pink ceramic material were provided.
