We don’t live in an ideal world. Sometimes people adopt habits that are really damaging to their teeth. One such example are people who have developed rampant caries from the use of recreational drugs. These patients can be rehabilitated with implant overdentures with locators. The esthetics will be favourable and the prosthesis will be functional. In addition, the bone in areas of implant placement will be preserved for many years.
It can still have a happy ending!
