Standard of care: tooth replacement using dental implants. Other options include removable denture and bridgework (involves removal of natural tooth structure which is irreversible).
Treatment plan involves placement of immediate implant and temporary crown: patient leaves the dental office with a full smile. Treatment time is one and a half hours.

Missing upper lateral incisor.

Note the loss of hard and soft tissues causing ridge defect where the bone “melted away”.  To treat this site and create a natural emergence profile, we need to consider ridge augmentation simultaneously during implant placement. In some cases we need to augment the ridge to allow adequate bone volume and quality before implants can be placed.

Final porcelain crown is retained by internal screw.

Final implant supported porcelain crown improves patient aesthetics and confidence.
