A 33-year-old male patient with missing left maxillary anterior teeth underwent guided bone regeneration (GBR) using a titanium mesh and xenograft to prevent membrane collapse. First-stage GBR surgery was performed on day 1, followed by a second-stage surgery 5 months later for titanium mesh removal and implant placement. Prosthetic treatment was performed 3 months after the second stage surgery, and the implant showed good stability. The use of xenograft and titanium mesh is a promising and effective ridge-augmentation method for delayed implant placement.
