🚨 FP1 vs FP3: The Complete Patient's Guide
What Every Patient Must Know Before Making This Life-Changing Decision
Don't Make a $50,000+ Mistake
⚠️ The Marketing vs Reality Problem
What You're Being Told: "Choose FP1 for natural-looking teeth with minimal bone removal"
The Reality: Most "FP1" cases being marketed are actually FP2 procedures, and bone removal is often the same or slightly less than FP3
Critical Factors That Determine Your Best Option
📊 Your Jaw Relationship
- How your upper and lower jaws align affects everything
- Collapsed bite may require opening your vertical dimension
- Poor jaw relationship can force teeth into unnatural positions
🦴 Your Bone Architecture
- Current bone levels and quality matter significantly
- Missing interproximal bone affects aesthetics
- Facial bone thickness impacts long-term implant stability
😁 Your Smile Line
- High smile line + bone loss = aesthetic challenges with FP1
- Low smile line gives more treatment flexibility
- Determines how much gum and tooth length will show
🗣️ Your Speech Patterns
- Tooth position affects F and S sounds
- Incisal edge must be properly positioned relative to lower lip
- Compromised space can impact pronunciation
🎯 The Bottom Line
Most Predictable Results: FP3 procedures generally offer more consistent, predictable outcomes for the majority of patients when performed with immediate loading protocols.
The Treatment Planning Truth: The right choice isn't about picking from a menu—it's about comprehensive evaluation of YOUR specific anatomy, aesthetics, and functional needs.
