Introduction
|
| When it comes to single tooth replacement in the esthetic zone, an implant-supported crown is often the treatment of choice because it requires no preparation or involvement of other teeth and still provides an acceptable result. However, managing the soft tissue enclosure around the restoration is a key challenge in achieving a life like appearance in the final result. This challenge is met with a very high level of mastering and coordinating multi-disciplines to accomplish the surgical, prosthetic and functional requirements that are necessary in producing a seamless restoration which is harmonious with the adjacent teeth.

Summary & Conclusion
|
| The patient was very satisfied with the treatment outcome – a natural-appearing replacement for his extracted central incisor. He was particularly pleased that at no time during the course of the treatment did he require a removable appliance. He also appreciated that other teeth did not require preparation as bridge abutments. We were able to exceed his expectations in creating an esthetic, bio-acceptable restoration.
The innovations and advancements in implant techniques and technology have greatly added to our treatment options for esthetic tooth replacement.
