Nice video
I think your implant is too far the the facial.
You had so much palatal bone, but you didn't use it.
I don't doubt your surgical skills. But i think you over treated this case with the grafting.
Implants that are far away from the facial plate are at lower risk for peri-implantitis down the road. I've learned this the hard way and now keep implants in the anterior as far in the palatal aspect of the alveolus as possible. Then a screw retained crown is easy.

to sb oms.....I agree with your statement...... the implant is to far facial, and that is why an angled abutment was used, but not shown or mentioned in this video.....also I think the initial grafting showed that the incisions made were very far from the site, and is a desturbance to the periodontal tissues.
