hello    2 questions:   1- there appears to be sufficient amount of bone for a 4.5X13 HIII implant. in sites of 36/37/46 However, my concern is the M-D distance between the natural teeth. the space between the implants and teeth are much larger than the recommeded 3-4mm. I worry that is going to effect the emergence profile of the crowns. Can the spacing between implants be pushed somewhat without creating the "lolly pop" appea...
