The Problem

Initial Condition

This patient had a gap near the front of her smile where an upper tooth was missing. She wanted a fixed, natural-looking replacement rather than a denture.

As it sits in a visible part of the smile, the treatment was planned carefully with a 3D scan to get the position and appearance right.

Before
Treatment Plan

The 3D scan let us plan the exact implant position in this visible area. We placed a narrow implant and allowed it to heal.

Once it had integrated, we shaped the gum around it and took a digital scan to design a tooth matched to her others in shape and shade. The final tooth was then fixed securely onto the implant.

3D Scan

Detailed 3D imaging assessed the bone and guided precise implant placement in this highly visible area.

Implant Placement

A narrow titanium implant was positioned securely and allowed to integrate fully with the bone.

Final Restoration

The gum was shaped before a digital scan and custom crown were matched to the surrounding teeth.

Transformation Results

A remarkable transformation achieved with precision and personalized care.

The Result

A Seamless Front-Tooth Restoration

A natural-looking tooth that fills the gap and matches the surrounding teeth, with healthy gum around it. It is fixed in place, so there is nothing to remove, and she was happy with the result.

Replacing a front tooth requires precision in both implant positioning and gum shaping. With careful 3D planning and a custom-designed crown, we achieved a secure, natural-looking result that blends with the surrounding teeth.
