I want to make my smile as perfect as possible and have everything set and straight before having the implants placed. I will be replacing the bridge with 2 crowns and an implant.. and replacing prefab with a real crown. Does this make sense.. #1- remove bridge #2- put crowns on 2 teeth that held bridge and replace pre-fab #3- straighten teeth #4- place implants Ideally I want all crowns made at once but doing step #2 before #4 won't allow that. What are my best options? Suggestions? Thx
